unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number, and no person 
is required to respond to a collection of information unless it

burden should be directed to the person listed as the contact.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the 
information collection, contact Brian Marenco at (202) 418-0838, or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control Number: 3060-1226.
    OMB Approval Date: January 17, 2017.
    OMB Expiration Date: January 31, 2020.
    Title: Receiving Written Consent for Communication with Base 
Stations in Canada; Issuing Written Consent to Licensees from Canada 
for Communication with Base Stations in the U.S.; Description of 
Interoperable Communications with Licensees from Canada.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Respondents: State, Local, or Tribal governments.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 3,224 respondents; 3,224 
responses.

[[Page 13598]]

    Estimated Time per Response: 0.5 hours-1 hour.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 5,642 hours.
    Annual Cost Burden: None.
    Obligation to Respond: Written consent from the licensee of a base 
station repeater is required before first responders from the other 
country can begin communicating with that base stations repeater. 
Applicants are advised to include a description of how they intend to 
interoperate with licensees from Canada when filing applications to 
operate under any of the scenarios described in Public Notice DA 16-739 
in order to ensure that the application is not inadvertently rejected 
by Canada. Statutory authority for these collections are contained in 
47 U.S.C. 151, 154, 301, 303, 307, 308, 309, 310, 316, 319, 325(b), 
332, 336(f), 338, 339, 340, 399b, 403, 534, 535, 1404, 1452, and 1454 
of the Communications Act of 1934.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Applicants who include a 
description of how they intend to interoperate with licensees from 
Canada need not include any confidential information with their 
description. Nonetheless, there is a need for confidentiality with 
respect to all applications filed with the Commission through its 
Universal Licensing System (ULS). Although ULS stores all information 
pertaining to the individual license via an FCC Registration Number 
(FRN), confidential information is accessible only by persons or 
entities that hold the password for each account, and the Commission's 
licensing staff. Information on private land mobile radio licensees is 
maintained in the Commission's system of records, FCC/WTB-1, ``Wireless 
Services Licensing Records.'' The licensee records will be publicly 
available and routinely used in accordance with subsection (b) of the 
Privacy Act. TIN Numbers and material which is afforded confidential 
treatment pursuant to a request made under 47 CFR 0.459 will not be 
available for Public inspection. Any personally identifiable 
information (PII) that individual applicants provide is covered by a 
system of records, FCC/WTB-1, ``Wireless Services Licensing Records,'' 
and these and all other records may be disclosed pursuant to the 
Routine Uses as stated in this system of records notice.
    Needs and Uses: The purpose of requiring an agency to issue written 
consent before allowing first responders from the other country to 
communicate with its base station repeater ensures to that the licensee 
of that base stations repeater (host licensee) maintains control and is 
responsible for its operation at all times. The host licensee can use 
the written consent to ensure that first responders from the other 
country understand the proper procedures and protocols before they 
begin communicating with its base station repeater. Furthermore, when 
reviewing applications filed by border area licensees, Commission staff 
will use any description of how an applicant intends to interoperate 
with licensees from Canada, including copies of any written agreements, 
in order to coordinate the application with Innovation, Science and 
Economic Development Canada (ISED) and reduce the risk of an 
inadvertent rejection by ISED.
