Abstract:
This collection includes the various rule sections in Part 101 governing reporting and third-party disclosure requirements required by Part 101 Rule Sections Governing the Terrestrial Microwave Fixed Radio Service, Backhaul Second Report and Order. Changes to the burden hours, cost estimates, and the reporting and third-party disclosure requirements occurred due to the reduction of responses for Subpart B Applications and Licenses sections 101.31, 101.55 and Subpart C Technical Standards section 101.103 and the removal of certain rule sections in this revised collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The revision is taking place because the Commission removed various rule sections from this collection because less than ten respondents are impacted by the information collection requirements and thus approval from OMB is not needed for those rule sections and requirements.
