Number of Respondents: 500
respondents; 520 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 5–10
hours.
Frequency of Response: One-time and
occasional reporting requirements.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151–154 and

Communications Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) is requesting a revision
of the information collection titled, ‘‘28
GHz Band’’ under OMB Control No.
3060–0768 from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB).
The purpose of the revision is to
remove the information collection
requirements that are contained under
47 CFR Sections 25.203, 25.250, 25.257
and 25.258 from OMB Control No.
3060–0768 because they were
consolidated under OMB Control No.

approved by OMB on August 15, 2014.
The information collection
requirements which remain in this
collection require are as follows: (1)
Local Multipoint Distribution Systems
(LMDS) licensees to serve copies of their
applications on all Non-Geostationary
Mobile Satellite Service (NGSO/MSS)
applicants (Section 101.147) and (2)
NGSO/MSS feeder link earth stations
must specify a set of geographic
coordinates for location of these earth
stations, 15 days after the release of a
public notice announcing
commencement of LMDS auctions
(Section 101.147).
The information is used by the
Commission and other applicants and/
or licensees in the 28 GHz band to
facilitate technical coordination of
systems among applicants and/or
licensees in the 28 GHz band. Without
such information, the Commission
could not implement the Commission’s
band plan.
Affected applicants and licensees are
required to provide the requested
information to the Commission and
other third parties whenever they seek
authority to provide service in the 28
GHz band. The frequency of filing is, in
general, determined by the applicant or
licensees. If this information is
compiled less frequently or not filed in
conjunction with our rules, applicants
PO 00000

and licensees will not obtain the
authorization necessary to provide
telecommunications services.
Furthermore, the Commission would
not be able to carry out its mandate as
required by statute and applicants and
licensees would not be able to provide
service effectively.

information.
Needs and Uses: This collection will
be submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) as a
revision after this 60-day comment
period has ended in order to obtain the
full three-year clearance from OMB.
The purpose of the revision is to
remove the information collection
requirements that are Section 47 CFR

Orbital debris consists of artificial
objects orbiting the Earth that are not
functional spacecraft. It consists of a
wide range of non-functioning manmade objects that have been placed in
the Earth’s orbit, both accidentally and
on purpose. Orbital debris consists of
small objects such as paint flakes,
discarded lens caps, ejected bolts and
pieces of debris from exploded
spacecraft and rocket bodies. Since
human activity in space began, there has
been a steady growth in the number and
total mass of orbital debris. Once
created, debris remains in orbit
indefinitely, absent other forces. Growth
in the orbital debris population may
limit the usefulness of space for
communications and other uses in the
future by raising the costs and lowering
the reliability of space based systems.
Furthermore, the effects of collisions

involving orbital debris can be
catastrophic and may cause significant
damage to functional spacecraft or to
persons or property on the surface of the
Earth, if the debris re-enters the Earth’s
atmosphere in an uncontrolled manner.
The information collection
requirements accounted for in this
collection are necessary to mitigate the
potential harmful effects of orbital
debris accumulation. Without such
information collection requirements, the
growth in the orbital debris population
may limit the usefulness of space for
communications and other uses in the
future by raising the costs and lowering
the reliability of experimental and
amateur systems. Furthermore, the
effects of collisions involving orbital
debris can be catastrophic and may
cause significant damage to functional
spacecraft or to persons or property on
the surface of the Earth, if the debris reenters the Earth’s atmosphere in an
uncontrolled manner.

period has ended in order to obtain the
full three-year clearance from OMB.
The purpose of the revision is to
remove the information collection
requirements that are contained in
Section 47 CFR 25.119 from OMB
Control No. 3060–1108. The information
collection requirements were
consolidated into collection 3060–0678.

control of authorization) has been
completed. A consummation is
applicable to all international
telecommunications and satellite
services, such as International High
Frequency (IHF), Section 214
Applications (ITC), and Submarine
Cable Landing Licenses (SCL).
Without this collection of
information, the Commission would not
have critical information such as a
change in a controlling interest in the
ownership of the licensee. The
Commission would not be able to carry
out its duties under the
Communications Act and to determine
the qualifications of applicants to
provide international
telecommunications service, including
applicants that are affiliated with
foreign entities, and to determine
whether and under what conditions the
authorizations are in the public interest,
convenience, and necessity.
Furthermore, without this collection of
information, the Commission would not
be able to maintain effective oversight of
U.S. providers of international
telecommunications services that are
affiliated with, or involved in certain comarketing or similar arrangements with,
foreign entities that have market power

damage to functional spacecraft or to persons or property on the
surface of the Earth, if the debris re-enters the Earth's atmosphere in
an uncontrolled manner.
The information collection requirements accounted for in this
collection are necessary to mitigate the potential harmful effects of
orbital debris accumulation. Without such information collection
requirements, the growth in the orbital debris population may limit the
usefulness of space for communications and other uses in the future by
raising the costs and lowering the reliability of experimental and
amateur systems. Furthermore, the effects of collisions involving
orbital debris can be catastrophic and may cause significant damage to
functional spacecraft or to persons or property on the surface of the
Earth, if the debris re-enters the Earth's atmosphere in an
uncontrolled manner.

A consummation is a party's notification to the Commission that a
transaction (assignment or transfer of control of authorization) has
been completed. A consummation is applicable to all international
telecommunications and satellite services, such as International High
Frequency (IHF), Section 214 Applications (ITC), and Submarine Cable
Landing Licenses (SCL).
Without this collection of information, the Commission would not
have critical information such as a change in a controlling interest in
the ownership of the licensee. The Commission would not be able to
carry out its duties under the Communications Act and to determine the
qualifications of applicants to provide international
telecommunications service, including applicants that are affiliated
with foreign entities, and to determine whether and under what
conditions the authorizations are in the public interest, convenience,
and necessity. Furthermore, without this collection of information, the
Commission would not be able to maintain effective oversight of U.S.
providers of international telecommunications services that are
affiliated with, or involved in certain co-marketing or similar
arrangements with, foreign entities that have market power
Federal Communications Commission.
