Abstract The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) hosts a web-based system that collects specific identification information (e.g., company name, location and projected range of the operation) from applicants seeking to operate in existing and planned radio frequency (RF) bands that are shared on a co-primary basis by federal and non-federal users. The webbased system provides a means for nonfederal applicants to rapidly determine the availability of RF spectrum in a specific location, or the need for VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:16 Aug 13, 2013 Jkt 229001 detailed frequency coordination of a specific newly proposed assignment within the shared portions of the radio spectrum. The Web site allows nonfederal applicants proposed radio site information to be analyzed, and a realtime determination made as to whether there is a potential for interference to, or from, existing Federal government radio operations in the vicinity of the proposed site. This web-based coordination helps expedite the coordination process for non-federal applicants while assuring protection of government data relating to national security.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    The National Telecommunications and Information Administration 
(NTIA) hosts a web-based system that collects specific identification 
information (e.g., company name, location and projected range of the 
operation) from applicants seeking to operate in existing and planned 
radio frequency (RF) bands that are shared on a co-primary basis by 
federal and non-federal users. The web-based system provides a means 
for non-federal applicants to rapidly determine the availability of RF 
spectrum in a specific location, or the need for detailed frequency 
coordination of a specific newly proposed assignment within the shared 
portions of the radio spectrum. The Web site allows non-federal 
applicants proposed radio site information to be analyzed, and a real-
time determination made as to whether there is a potential for 
interference to, or from, existing Federal government radio operations 
in the vicinity of the proposed site. This web-based coordination helps 
expedite the coordination process for non-federal applicants while 
assuring protection of government data relating to national security. 
The information provided by non-federal applicants will also assure the 
protection of the applicant's station from radio frequency interference 
from future government operations.

II. Method of Collection

    NTIA collects the data by means of an internet web-based system. 
The applications on the Web site provide real-time responses: (1) 
Obtain a validation of the coordination of a single frequency, or (2) a 
notification of the unavailability of a frequency at one site and 
further coordination will be required by the Federal Communications 
Commission (FCC) and NTIA.

III. Data

    OMB Control No: 0660-0018.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Regular submission (extension of a currently 
approved information collection).
    Affected Public: Applicants seeking to operate in the 71-76 GHz, 
81-86 GHz, and 92-95 GHz radio frequency bands today, and additional 
bands as frequency coordination procedures allow.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 5,000.
    Estimated Time per Response: 15 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,250.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost to Public: $0.

IV. Request for Comments

    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have a practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden 
(including hours and cost) of the proposed collection of information; 
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on respondents, including through the use of 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.
    Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized 
and/or included in the request for OMB approval of this information 
collection; they also will become a matter of public record.
