Synopsis As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507), the FCC is notifying the public that it received OMB approval on July 31, 2013, which contained new or modified information collection requirements, in 47 CFR 1.949, 27.14, 27.17, 27.1131, 27.1134, 27.1136, 27.1166, 27.1168, 21.1170, 101.69, and 101.73(d), which would not be effective until approved by the Office of Management and Budget. The information collection was adopted in the Report and Order in WT Docket Nos. 12–70 and 04–356; ET Docket No. 10–142, FCC 12–151, which appears at 78 FR 8229, February 5, 2013, adopts flexible use rules for 40 megahertz of spectrum in the 2 GHz band (2000–2020 MHz and 2180–2200 MHz) that would increase the nation’s supply of spectrum for mobile broadband. Also, we adopted AWS–4 terrestrial service, technical, and licensing rules that generally follow the Commission’s part 27 flexible use rules, modified as necessary to account for issues unique to the AWS–4 bands. First, we establish 2000–2020 MHz paired with 2180–2200 MHz as the AWS–4 band plan. In addition, we adopted appropriate technical rules for operations in the AWS–4 band. This includes rules governing the relationship of the AWS–4 band to other bands. Third, mindful that AWS–4 spectrum is now allocated on a coprimary basis for Mobile Satellite and for terrestrial Fixed and Mobile services and that MSS licensees already have authorizations to provide service in the band, we determined that the AWS–4 rules must provide for the protection of 2 GHz MSS systems from harmful interference caused by AWS–4 systems. Fourth, consistent with our determination below to grant AWS–4 terrestrial operating authority to the incumbent 2 GHz MSS licensees, we proposed to assign terrestrial rights by modifying the MSS operators’ licenses pursuant to section 316 of the Communications Act. Fifth, we adopted performance requirements for the AWS– 4 spectrum. Specifically, licensees of AWS–4 operating authority will be subject to build-out requirements that require a licensee to provide terrestrial signal coverage and offer terrestrial service to at least 40 percent of its total terrestrial license areas’ population within four years, and to at least 70 percent of the population in each of its license areas within seven years, and to appropriate penalties if these E:\FR\FM\09AUR1.SGM 09AUR1 pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with RULES 48622 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 154 / Friday, August 9, 2013 / Rules and Regulations benchmarks are not met. Sixth, we adopted a variety of regulatory, licensing, operating, and relocation and cost sharing requirements for licensees of AWS–4 operating authority. Seventh, we eliminated the ATC rules for the 2 GHz MSS band and propose to modify the 2 GHz MSS operators’ licenses to eliminate their ATC authority. In so doing, the AWS–4 Report and Order would carry out a recommendation in the National Broadband Plan that the Commission enables the provision of stand-alone terrestrial services in the 2 GHz Mobile Satellite Service (MSS) spectrum band, thus dramatically increasing the value of this spectrum to the public. The AWS–4 Report and Order would remove regulatory barriers to mobile broadband use of this spectrum; would adopt service, technical, and licensing rules that would encourage innovation and investment in mobile broadband; and would provide certainty and a stable regulatory regime for the rapid deployment of wireless broadband. The effective date of the rules adopted in that Report and Order was published as March 7, 2013, except for §§ 1.949, 27.14, 27.17, 27.1131, 27.1134, 27.1136, 27.1166, 27.1168, 21.1170, 101.69, and 101.73(d).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a summary of the Commission’s Order on Reconsideration in WC Docket No. 10–90; FCC 13–97, adopted on July 15, 2013 and released on July 16, 2013. The full text of this document is available for public inspection during regular business hours in the FCC Reference Center, Room CY–A257, 445 12th Street SW., Washington, DC 20554. Or at the following Internet address: https:// hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/ attachmatch/FCC-13-97A1.pdf. I. Introduction 1. In the Order on Reconsideration, the Commission sua sponte reconsiders one aspect of the recent Phase I Order, 78 FR 38227, June 26, 2013, and provides a limited waiver of the Phase I election deadline. First, the Commission now requires carriers to report updates to planned Phase I deployments to the Commission, relevant state commissions, and relevant Tribal governments. If the intended new deployment will occur in census blocks not previously identified, the updates must be submitted at least 90 days prior to commencing construction. Making this reporting mandatory will further transparency regarding the use of this funding, for the benefit of regulators and the general public. This will strengthen monitoring and oversight over Phase I recipients and will better ensure that Phase I support is not spent in areas that already receive service through another provider. Second, we provide a 15-day waiver of the deadline for carriers to accept second round Phase I support. This extension makes the second round election period 90 days, which is the same amount of time as was provided for first round Phase I elections. II. Discussion A. Reconsideration of Reporting Requirements 2. Under § 1.108 of our rules, the Commission may, on its own motion, reconsider any action made or taken within 30 days from the date of public notice of such action. In doing so, the Commission may take any action it could take in acting on a petition for reconsideration, including reversing or modifying the original order. E:\FR\FM\09AUR1.SGM 09AUR1

Synopsis

    As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3507), the FCC is notifying the public that it received OMB approval on 
July 31, 2013, which contained new or modified information collection 
requirements, in 47 CFR 1.949, 27.14, 27.17, 27.1131, 27.1134, 27.1136, 
27.1166, 27.1168, 21.1170, 101.69, and 101.73(d), which would not be 
effective until approved by the Office of Management and Budget. The 
information collection was adopted in the Report and Order in WT Docket 
Nos. 12-70 and 04-356; ET Docket No. 10-142, FCC 12-151, which appears 
at 78 FR 8229, February 5, 2013, adopts flexible use rules for 40 
megahertz of spectrum in the 2 GHz band (2000-2020 MHz and 2180-2200 
MHz) that would increase the nation's supply of spectrum for mobile 
broadband. Also, we adopted AWS-4 terrestrial service, technical, and 
licensing rules that generally follow the Commission's part 27 flexible 
use rules, modified as necessary to account for issues unique to the 
AWS-4 bands. First, we establish 2000-2020 MHz paired with 2180-2200

AWS-4 terrestrial operating authority to the incumbent 2 GHz MSS 
licensees, we proposed to assign terrestrial rights by modifying the 
MSS operators' licenses pursuant to section 316 of the Communications 
Act. Fifth, we adopted performance requirements for the AWS-4 spectrum. 
Specifically, licensees of AWS-4 operating authority will be subject to 
build-out requirements that require a licensee to provide terrestrial 
signal coverage and offer terrestrial service to at least 40 percent of 
its total terrestrial license areas' population within four years, and 
to at least 70 percent of the population in each of its license areas

benchmarks are not met. Sixth, we adopted a variety of regulatory, 
licensing, operating, and relocation and cost sharing requirements for 
licensees of AWS-4 operating authority. Seventh, we eliminated the ATC 
rules for the 2 GHz MSS band and propose to modify the 2 GHz MSS 
operators' licenses to eliminate their ATC authority. In so doing, the

technical, and licensing rules that would encourage innovation and 
investment in mobile broadband; and would provide certainty and a 
stable regulatory regime for the rapid deployment of wireless 
broadband.

become effective August 9, 2013.
    Under 5 CFR part 1320, an agency may not conduct or sponsor a 
collection of information unless it displays a current, valid OMB
