Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal
Communications Commission Under Delegated Authority
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Notice and request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens,
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) invites the
general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to
comment on the following information collections. Comments are
requested concerning: whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the information shall have practical
utility; the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected;
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on the
respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology; and ways to further reduce the
information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer
than 25 employees.
The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) control number. No person shall be subject to any penalty for
failing to comply with a collection of information subject to the PRA
that does not display a valid OMB control number.
DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before September
10, 2018. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but
find it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this
notice, you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.
ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Cathy Williams, FCC, via email to
[email protected] and to [email protected].

and Budget (OMB) for approval of an extension request.
Under 47 CFR 1.929(c)(1) of the Commission's rules, any increase in
the composite interference contour (CIC) of a site-based licensee in
the Paging and Radiotelephone Service, Rural Radiotelephone Service, or
800 MHz Specialized Mobile Radio Service is a major modification of a
license that requires prior Commission approval.
However, in February 2005, the Commission adopted and released
final rules which amended section 1.929(c)(1) to specify that expansion
of a composite interference contour (CIC) of a site-based licensee in
the Paging and Radiotelephone Service--as well as the Rural
Radiotelephone Service and 800 MHz Specialized Mobile Radio Service--
over water on a secondary, non-interference basis should be classified
as a minor (rather than major) modification of a license. Such
reclassification has eliminated the filing requirements associated with
these license modifications, but requires site-based licensees to
provide the geographic area licensee (on the same frequency) with the
technical and engineering information necessary to evaluate the site-
based licensee's operations over water.
