SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens,

3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or the 
Commission) invites the general public and other federal agencies to 
take this opportunity to comment on the following information 
collection. Comments are requested concerning: Whether the 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

do not conform to the allotted parameters, even though they might be 
affected by potential new interference. The Commission will consider 
granting applications on the basis of interference agreements if it 
finds that such grants will serve the public interest. These agreements 
must be signed by all parties to the agreement. In addition, the 
Commission needs the following information to enable such public 
interest determinations: A list of parties predicted to receive 
additional interference from the proposed facility; a showing as to why 
a grant based on the agreements would serve the public interest; and 
technical studies depicting the additional interference. The technical 
showings and interference agreements will be used by FCC staff to 
determine if the public interest would be served by the grant of the 
application and to ensure that the proposed facilities will not result 
in additional interference.
