FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

[[Page 40758]]

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
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 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 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 Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) control number.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before September 
12, 2014. 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 contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Cathy Williams, FCC, via email 
[email protected] and to [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the 
information collection, contact Cathy Williams at (202) 418-2918.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-1070.
    Title: Allocation and Service Rules for the 71-76 GHz, 81-86 GHz, 
and 92-95 GHz Bands.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities; not-for-profit 
institutions; and State, local, or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 504 respondents; 3,000 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 1.5 to 9 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement, 
recordkeeping requirement, and third-party disclosure requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 
U.S.C. 151, 154(i), 303(f) and (r), 309, 316, and 332 of the 
Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
    Total Annual Burden: 9,000 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $910,000.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality. The Commission has not granted assurances of 
confidentially to those parties submitting the information. In those 
cases where a respondent believes information requires confidentiality, 
the respondent can request confidential treatment and the Commission 
will afford such confidentiality for 20 days, after which the 
information will be available to the public.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission is seeking an extension of this 
information collection in order to obtain the full three year approval 
from OMB. There are no program changes to the reporting, recordkeeping 
and/or third-party disclosure requirements but we are revising 
estimates based on experience and the possible addition of a fourth 
database manager. The recordkeeping, reporting, and third party 
disclosure requirements will be used by the Commission to verify 
licensee compliance with the Commission rules and regulations, and to 
ensure that licensees continue to fulfill their statutory 
responsibilities in accordance with the Communications Act of 1934. The 
Commission's rules promote the private sector development and use of 
71-76 GHz, 81-86 GHz, and 92-95 GHz bands (70/80/90 GHz bands). Such 
information has been used in the past and will continue to be used to 
minimize interference, verify that applicants are legally and 
technically qualified to hold license, and to determine compliance with 
Commission rules.
