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 OMB 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 OMB
control number.
DATES: Written PRA comments should
be submitted on or before January 20,
2015. 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 PRA@
fcc.gov and to Cathy.Williams@fcc.gov.

additional information about the
information collection, contact Cathy

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060–0600.
Title: Application to Participate in an
FCC Auction, FCC 175.
Form Number: FCC Form 175.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities, not-for-profit institutions,
and state, local or tribal governments.
Estimated Number of Respondents
and Responses: 500 respondents and

Estimated Time per Response: 90
minutes (estimated average time for
respondents to report information
requested on FCC Form 175).

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
Information collected on FCC Form 175
is made available for public inspection,
and the Commission is not requesting
that respondents submit confidential
information on FCC Form 175.
Respondents seeking to have
information collected on FCC Form 175
withheld from public inspection may
request confidential treatment of such
information pursuant to section 0.459 of
the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR Section
0.459.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Needs and Uses: A request for
extension of this information collection
(no change in requirements) will be
submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) after this 60-day
comment period in order to obtain the
full three year clearance from OMB. The
Commission’s auction rules and
requirements are designed to ensure that
the competitive bidding process is
limited to serious qualified applicants,
deter possible abuse of the bidding and
licensing process, and enhance the use
of competitive bidding to assign
Commission licenses in furtherance of
the public interest. The information
collected on FCC Form 175 is used by
the Commission to determine if an
applicant is legally, technically, and
financially qualified to participate in a
Commission auction. Additionally, if an
applicant applies for status as a
particular type of auction participant
pursuant to Commission rules, the
Commission uses information collected
on Form 175 to determine whether the
applicant is eligible for the status
requested. Commission staff reviews the
information collected on FCC Form 175
for a particular auction as part of the
pre-auction process, prior to the auction
being held. Staff determines whether
each applicant satisfies the
Commission’s requirements to
participate in the auction and, if
applicable, is eligible for the status as a
particular type of auction participant it
requested. 47 CFR sections 2.106, US
note 91 and 27.1134(f) require
commercial licensees in the 1755–1780
MHz band to operate on a co-equal,
primary operations with Federal
systems within specified geographic
zones and require such licensees to
accept interference from Federal
systems as long as such systems remain
in the band. To implement these
requirements, an applicant in any
auction for licenses in the 1755–1780
MHz band will be required to submit a
signed statement with its FCC Form 175
acknowledging these requirements. The
information collected under this
requirement will enable the
E:\FR\FM\21NON1.SGM
21NON1
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 225 / Friday, November 21, 2014 / Notices
Commission to confirm that an auction
applicant understands its specific
obligations with respect to Federal
incumbent users and systems in the
1755–1780 MHz frequency band should
it ultimately become licensed in this
band. The Commission plans to
continue to use the FCC Form 175 for
all upcoming spectrum auctions,
collecting only the information
necessary for each particular auction.
Thus, the signed acknowledgement
statement that is the subject of this
collection will not be required for all
auctions, and will only be used in
auctions of licenses in the 1755–1780
MHz band.
