This collection includes rules to
govern the future operation and licensing of the 220-222 MHz band
(220 MHz service). In establising this licensing plan, FCC's goal
is to establish a flexible regulatory framework that allows for
efficient licensing of the 220 MHz service, eliminates unnecessary
regulatory burdens, and enhances the competitive potential of the
220 MHz service in the mobile service marketplace. However, as with
any licensing and operational plan for a radio service, a certain
number of regulatory and information burdens are necessary to
verify licensee compliance with FCC...
The number of
respondents/responses, burden hours and annual costs have been
significantly reduced because some of the rules in this collection
are no longer applicable because some Phase 1 licensees are no
longer issued. In other respects, some areas of this collection are
nil pending the potential influx of re-auctioned licensees.
Therefore, the Commission is reporting a program change for the
total annual burden hours and annual costs.
