As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
3507), the FCC is notifying the public that it received final OMB

in 47 CFR part 90.

Control Number.
No person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply
with a collection of information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act
that does not display a current, valid OMB Control Number. The OMB
Control Number is 3060-0599.

Title: Section 90.187, Trunking in the Bands Between 150 and 512
MHz; and Sections 90.425 and 90.647, Station Identification.
Form Number: N/A.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities and state, local

Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47
U.S.C. 154(i), 309(j) and 332 of the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended.
Total Annual Burden: 8,231 hours.
Total Annual Cost: None.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for
confidentiality with this collection of information.
Needs and Uses: On April 18 2013, the Commission in a Fifth Report
and Order, FCC 13-52, adopted changes to 47 CFR 90.425 of the
Commission's rules to allow Private Land Mobile Radio (PLMR) licensees
in the bands between 150 and 512 MHz that are licensed on an exclusive
basis to transmit station identification information in digital format,
on the condition that the licensee will provide the Commission with
information sufficient to decode the digital transmission to ascertain
the call sign transmitted. However, this gives a new group of licensee
stations (PLMRs) an option regarding the method of transmission of
required call sign information; it modifies the existing burden, and
slightly increase the in-house cost burden--specifically the cost
associated with providing the Commission sufficient information to
decode the transmission--unless they choose the digital transmission
option. Finally, the other part of this revision is adding one
additional rule section which is 90.187 to this existing information
collection.
Federal Communications Commission.
