Title: Sections 15.713, 15.714, 15.715 and 15.717, TV White Space Broadcast Bands. Form No.: Not Applicable. Type of Review: Revision of an existing collection. Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities; not-for-profit institutions; Federal government; and state, local or tribal government. Number of Respondents and Responses: 2,000 respondents and 2,000 responses. Estimated Time per Response: 2.0 hours. Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement, recordkeeping requirement and third party disclosure requirement. Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The statutory authority for this collection of information is contained in 47 U.S.C. 154(1), 302, 303(c), 303(f), and 307. Total Annual Burden: 4,000 hours. Total Annual Cost: $100,000.

Because these newly-eligible licensees would likely have been able to register on an unlicensed basis under 47 CFR 15.713(h)(9) (and now will register as licensees instead), the Commission is also decreasing by 200 the number of unlicensed low power auxiliary station operators who will register in the database on an unlicensed basis under 47 CFR 15.713 (h)(9). The Commission seeks Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for a revised information collection for an increase in the number of LPAS licensees that will register under 47 CFR 15.713(h)(8) and a decrease in the number of unlicensed wireless microphone users that will register on an unlicensed basis under 47 CFR 15.713(h)(9).
