SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: *OMB Control Number:* 3060-1140. *Title:* Requests for Waiver of Various Petitioners to Allow the Establishment of 700 MHz Interoperable Public Safety Wireless Broadband Networks, PS Docket No. 06-229, DA 10-2342. *Form No.:* N/A. *Type of Review:* Revision of a currently approved collection. *Respondents:* State, local or tribal government. *Number of Respondents:* 50 respondents; 350 responses. *Estimated Time per Response:* 5 hours to 50 hours. *Frequency of Response:* Quarterly and one time reporting requirements. *Obligation to Respond:* Mandatory. Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. sections 151, 154(i), 301, 303, 332 and 337. *Total Annual Burden:* 23,600 hours. *Total Annual Cost:* N/A. *Privacy Act Impact Assessment:* N/A. *Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:* The Commission is not requesting respondents to submit confidential information. However, petitioners may request confidential treatment of their information that they believe to be confidential pursuant to 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission's rules. *Needs and Uses:* The Commission will submit this expiring information collection
(IC)to the OMB during this comment period to obtain the three year clearance from them. The Commission is seeking OMB approval for a revision of this information collection. The Commission adopted an Order, DA 10-2342, which requires public safety broadband waiver recipients to certify, at various stages of deployment, their compliance with the technical requirements set forth in the Order, and to submit additional information regarding their early deployments. The Order provides that waiver recipients may include this information in their quarterly reports to the Commission's Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau, which are required to be submitted under a previous order (FCC 10-79). The revised information collections required under this Order will enable the Commission and Bureau to monitor the progress of 700 MHz public safety broadband waiver recipients' network deployments and ensure that such deployments are consistent with the Commission's long-standing goal or ensuring nationwide interoperability among public safety broadband networks. Federal Communications Commission. Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary, Office of the Secretary, Office of Managing Director. [FR Doc. 2011-9770 Filed 4-21-11; 8:45 am]
