Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal Communications Commission Under
Delegated Authority
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Notice and request for comments.
SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, and as required by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or
Commission) invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on
the following information collection(s). Comments are requested concerning: whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Commission,
including whether the information shall have practical utility; the accuracy of the Commission’s burden
estimate; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; ways to minimize
the burden of the collection of information on the respondents, including the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology; and ways to further reduce the information
collection burden on small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees. The FCC may not conduct
or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) control number. No person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information subject to the PRA that does not display a valid OMB control number.
DATES: Written comments should be submitted on or before [INSERT DATE 60 DAYS AFTER
DATE OF PUBLICATION IN FEDERAL REGISTER]. If you anticipate that you will be submitting
comments but find it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice, you should advise
the contacts below as soon as possible.
ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Cathy Williams, FCC, via email to PRA@fcc.gov and to
Cathy.Williams@fcc.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the information
collection, contact Cathy Williams at (202) 418-2918.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control No.: 3060-0625.
Title: Section 24.103, Construction requirements.
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently-approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit, individuals or household, not-for-profit institutions, and State,
local or Tribal government.
Number of Respondents and Responses: 6 respondents and 6 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.5 – 1.5 hours.
Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping requirement, On occasion reporting requirement, 5 and 10 year
reporting requirements.
Obligation to Respond: To ensure that licensees timely construct systems that either provide coverage to
minimum geographic portions of their licensed areas, that provide service to minimum percentages of the
population of those areas, or that, in the alternative, provide service that is sound, favorable, and
substantially above a level of mediocre service that would barely warrant renewal.
Total Annual Burden: 6 hours.
Annual Cost Burden: $1,238.
Needs and Uses: The information collection requirements contained in Section 24.103 require that certain
narrowband PCS licensees notify Commission at specific benchmarks that they are in compliance with
applicable construction requirements in order to ensure that these licensees quickly construct their
systems and that, with those systems, they provide, within their respective licensed areas: Coverage to
minimum geographic areas, service to minimum percentages of the population, or “substantial service”
within ten years after license grant. The Commission is not currently collecting information from
narrowband PCS licensees under Section 24.103 and does not expect to do so during the three year period
for which it seeks extension of its current collection authority under that section. However, following the
future auction of new narrowband PCS licenses, the reporting and recordkeeping requirements under this
section will be used to satisfy the Commission's rule that such licensees demonstrate compliance with
these construction requirements by the 5 and 10-year benchmarks established upon the grant date of each

license. Without this information, the Commission would not be able to carry out its statutory
responsibilities.
