On October 22, 2018, the Commission
issued a Report and Order and Order, FCC 18-143, in WP Docket No.
15-32, RM-11572, WP Docket No. 16-261, RM-11719 and RM-11722
(800/PLMR Access Order), in which it revised certain rules to
require applicants for channels currently designated for central
station alarm use to obtain the concurrence of the central station
alarm frequency coordinator in order to use the channels for uses
other than central station alarm operations. This requirement is
similar to existing requirements pertaining to certain other
channels. The Report and Order and Order did not revise any of the
information collection requirements that are contained in this
collection but rather added additional frequencies to the list.
Therefore, this essentially is adding an additional 200 respondents
to this collection. 47 C.F.R. § 90.175(b) establishes frequency
coordination requirements for frequencies between 25 and 470 MHz to
include a statement from the applicable frequency coordinator
recommending the most appropriate frequency.
The Commission has program
changes of 200 respondents, 200 responses, 200 annual burden hours
which are due to the additional requests for non-central station
use of central station alarm channels (request for concurrence) as
the result of the adoption of FCC 18-143. There are no adjustments
to this collection.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
