SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its

[[Page 41851]]

Commission, including whether the information shall have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; (c) ways
to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information

contiguous portion of its service area. Under Section 21.931 (a) (2),

Commission within 30 days of the date the contracts are reached. These
contracts will be submitted with one of the following: (1) an MDS long-
form application; (2) an application for assignment or transfer; or (3)

of successful wireless cable systems in rural areas and will make the
most efficient use of the available spectrum. The contracts designate
the specific geopolitical boundaries used to partition the BTA. The
Commission will apply the same MDS technical rules to partitioned
service areas.
