FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
47 CFR Part 15
[GN Docket No. 12-268; FCC 15-140]
Expanding the Economic and Innovation Opportunities of Spectrum
Through Incentive Auctions
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Final rule; announcement of effective date.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission (Commission) is
announcing that three final rules that appeared in the Federal Register
as part of the Commission's rulemaking Expanding the Economic and
Innovation Opportunities of Spectrum do not need information collection
approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and are
effective immediately. This document is consistent with a Report and
Order in which the Commission stated that it would publish a document
in the Federal Register announcing OMB approval and the effective date
of these rules.
DATES: 47 CFR 15.713(b)(2)(iv), 15.713(j)(10) introductory text and
15.715(n) published at 81 FR 4969, January 29, 2016, are effective on
January 24, 2018.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Cathy Williams at (202) 418-2918, or
via email at [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Report and Order, GN Docket No. 12-268,
FCC 15-140, published at 81 FR 4969, January 29, 2016, stated that
modifications to section 15.713(b)(2)(iv), 15.713(j)(10) introductory
text and section 15.715(n) would not become effective until after the
Federal Register publication of the date that OMB approved the
resulting modification of the information collections under the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) and the effective date of such
modifications. Because subsequent review and consultation with OMB has
revealed that there is no existing information
[[Page 3275]]
collection that will be modified by these rules, OMB review is not
necessary. Thus, these rules may become effective immediately.
Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
