SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Commission is requesting emergency
OMB processing of this information
collection and has requested OMB
approval by September 13, 2007.
OMB Control Number: None.
Title: Request to state and local public
safety entities for information on
equipment operating in affected portion
of 700 MHz public safety spectrum.
Form No.: Not applicable.
Type of Review: New collection.
Respondents: State, Local, or Tribal
Governments.

respondents; 94 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: An
average of 21 hours per response.

reporting requirement.
Obligation To Respond: Required to

Total Annual Burden: 1,974 hours.
Total Annual Cost: None.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
An assurance of confidentiality is not
offered because this information

collection of personally identifiable
information (PII) from individuals.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Not
applicable.
Needs and Uses: The Commission is
seeking emergency processing of this
information collection by September 13,
2007.
Pursuant to the Commission’s 700
MHz Second Report and Order (FCC 07–
132, released August 10, 2007), this
information collection requires every
700 MHz Band public safety licensee,
whether holding individual narrowband
authorizations or operating pursuant to
a State License, to provide the following
information to the Commission: (1) The
total number of narrowband mobile and
portable handsets in operation in
channels 63 and 68, and the upper one
megahertz of channels 64 and 69, as of
30 days after the date of adoption of its
700 MHz Second Report and Order, (2)
the total number of narrowband base
stations serving these handsets in
operation, (3) contact information for
each identified set of handsets and base
stations, as appropriate, (4) the areas of
operation of the mobile and portable
rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES
units (such as defined by the
jurisdictional boundaries of the relevant
public safety departments), and (5) the
location, in latitude and longitude, of
the base stations.
VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:27 Aug 15, 2007 Jkt 211001
In order to create a nationwide,
interoperable public safety broadband
network, the 700 MHz Second Report
and Order establishes a public safety
band plan consistent with such a
network. It consolidates narrowband
operations in the upper twelve
megahertz of the 700 MHz Public Safety
band and designates the lower ten
megahertz of that band solely for
broadband communications. It also
shifts the public safety spectrum block
down by one megahertz in order to
avoid interference problems along the
border with Canada. This requires
relocation of all public safety
narrowband operations in channels 63
and 68, and the upper one megahertz of
channels 64 and 69. The 700 MHz
Second Report and Order requires the
winner of Upper 700 MHz Band D Block
license to pay the costs associated with
relocating public safety narrowband
operations to the consolidated channels.
It also assigns responsibility to a newly
created Public Safety Broadband
Licensee to administer the relocation
process consistent with the
requirements and deadlines set forth in
700 MHz Second Report and Order.
This information collection will identify
the actual numbers of radios and base
stations that the winner of the D Block
license will be responsible for paying
the costs of relocating.
