Type of Information Collection: New collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 01/21/1998
	Date Received in OIRA: 11/10/1997
Terms of Clearance: The FCC has proposed a regional planning process for developing requirements for use of new spectrum to be made available to public safety organizations throughout the country. The FCC is proposing a process similar to one used in 1998. Although the projected burden associated with such an approach is large, the need for wide participation in such a planning process is important. The FCC should take steps to ensure the broadest possible participation in this planning process -- including active participation by Federal, State and local law enforcement and public safety officials. The FCC shall ensure that correction worksheets are submitted to update the burden expected to be incurred by the final planning process.

Abstract: In order to satisfy local and regional needs and preferences, the Commission proposes that regional planning committees made up of representatives from each public safety community draft and submit regional plans. These may include plans for both spectrum reserved for interoperability and spectrum available for general public safety use. The Commission will use the information to assign licenses and may also use the information to determine whether prospective licenses will operate in compliance with the Commission rules.
