Communications Commission
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 (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.

Commission. There are no additional impacts under the Privacy Act.

Needs and Uses: On June 2, 2014, the Commission released a Report
and Order, FCC 14-50, GN Docket No. 12-268, ``Expanding the Economic
and Innovation Opportunities of Spectrum Through Incentive Auctions.''
This order adopted a revision to a Commission rule, 47 CFR 74.802(b),
to permit low power auxiliary stations (LPAS), including wireless
microphones, to operate in the bands allocated for TV broadcasting at
revised distances from a co-channel television's contour, and provided
LPAS operators to operate even closer to television stations proved
that any such operations are coordinated with TV broadcast stations
that could be affected by the LPAS operations.
The Commission seeks Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval
for a new information collection for the coordination process adopted
in the Commission's Report and Order, FCC 14-50 for such co-channel
operations, in 47 CFR 74.802d(b)(2).
