Download as PDF mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 239 / Monday, December 14, 2015 / Notices Type of Review: Revision 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 500 responses. Estimated Time per Response: 90 minutes. Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement. Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. Statutory authority for the currently approved information collection is contained in sections 154(i) and 309(j)(5) of the Communications Act, as amended, 47 U.S.C.s 4(i), 309(j)(5), and sections 1.2105, 1.2110, 1.2112 of the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 1.2105, 1.2110, 1.2112. Statutory authority for the revised information collection is contained in sections 154(i) and 309(j)(5) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 4(i), 309(j)(5), and sections 1.2105, 1.2110, 1.2112 of the Commission’s rules, as amended, 47 CFR 1.2105, 1.2110, 1.2112. Estimated Total Annual Burden: 750 hours. Total Annual Costs: None. 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 0.459. Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s). Needs and Uses: The Commission is submitting this revised information collection to OMB under its emergency processing procedures. The Commission is seeking emergency OMB approval no later than 26 days after the collection is received at OMB. On February 22, 2012, the President signed the Spectrum Act, which, among other things, authorized the Commission to conduct incentive auctions, and directed that the Commission use this innovative tool for an incentive auction of broadcast television spectrum to help meet the Nation’s growing spectrum needs. See Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012, Public Law 112– 96, sections 6402, 6403, 125 Stat. 156 (2012) (Spectrum Act). The Commission’s broadcast incentive auction (BIA) will have three main components: (1) A reverse auction in VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:36 Dec 11, 2015 Jkt 238001 which broadcast television licensees will submit bids to voluntarily relinquish their spectrum usage rights in exchange for defined shares of proceeds from the forward auction; (2) a repacking of the broadcast television bands; and (3) a forward auction of initial licenses for flexible use of the newly available spectrum. The Commission is revising the currently approved information collection on FCC Form 175 to implement new collection requirements that are the result of (1) various Commission actions in which the Commission adopted general rules and procedures to govern the BIA, including rules applicable to applicants seeking to participate in the forward auction component of the BIA and, (2) the Commission’s adoption of new and modified competitive bidding rules and requirements in the Updating Part 1 Report and Order, which will apply to applicants seeking to participate in a Commission auction, including the forward auction component of the BIA. The Commission’s auction rules and related 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 FCC 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. Without the information collected on FCC Form 175, the Commission will not be able to determine if an applicant is legally, technically, and financially qualified to participate in a Commission auction, including the forward auction component of the BIA, and has complied with the various applicable regulatory and statutory auction requirements for such participation. The Commission plans to continue to use PO 00000 Frm 00028 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 77341 the FCC Form 175 for all upcoming, non-reverse spectrum auctions, including those required or authorized to be conducted pursuant to the Spectrum Act, collecting only the information necessary for each particular auction.
