likewise help the Commission enforce
the prohibition on covered parties in the
BIA, further assuring incentive auction
participants that the auction process
will be fair and competitive. The
prohibited communication reporting
requirement required of covered parties
will enable the Commission to ensure
that no bidder gains an unfair advantage
over other bidders in its auctions and
thus enhances the competitiveness and
fairness of Commission’s auctions. The
information collected will be reviewed
and, if warranted, referred to the
Commission’s Enforcement Bureau for
possible investigation and
administrative action. The Commission
may also refer allegations of
anticompetitive auction conduct to the
Department of Justice for investigation.

DATES: Written PRA comments should
be submitted on or before May 31, 2016.
If you anticipate that you will be
submitting comments, but find it
difficult to do so within the period of
time allowed by this notice, you should
advise the contact listed below as soon
as possible.

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities and state, local or tribal
government.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 2,793 respondents; 10,165
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 1
hour–44.4 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
and semi-annual reporting requirements
and recordkeeping requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Mandatory.
Statutory authority for this information
collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151,
153, 154, 201–205 and 251 of the
Communications Act of 1934.
Total Annual Burden: 132,384 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $3,465,570.20.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
Disaggregated, carrier specific forecast
and utilization data will be treated as
confidential and will be exempt from
public disclosure under 5 U.S.C.
552(b)(4).
Needs and Uses: The data collected
on FCC Form 502 helps the Commission
manage the ten-digit North American
Numbering Plan (NANP), which is
currently being used by the United
States and 19 other countries. Under the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, the Commission was given
‘‘exclusive jurisdictions over those
portions of the North American
Numbering Plan that pertains to the
PO 00000
Frm 00050
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
United States.’’ Pursuant to that
authority, the Commission conducted a
rulemaking in March 2000 that the
Commission found that mandatory data
collection is necessary to efficiently
monitor and manage numbering use.
The Commission is revising this
information collection to implement its
newly adopted rules that allow
interconnected Voice over Internet
Protocol (VoIP) providers to obtain
numbering resources directly from the
Numbering Administrators. The
following information collection
requirements will be contained in this
collection:
(1) Utilization/Forecast Report;
(2) Application for initial numbering
resource;
(3) Application for growth numbering
resources;
(4) Recordkeeping requirement;
(5) Notifications by state
commissions;
(6) Demonstration to state
commission; and
(7) Petitions for additional delegation
of numbering authority.
The data from this information
collection is used by the FCC, state
regulatory commissions, and the
NANPA to monitor numbering resource
utilization by all carriers using the
resource and to project the dates of area
code and NANP exhaust.

On August 11, 2015 the Federal
Communications Commission released a
Report and Order, Amendment of Part
15 of the Commission’s Rules for
Unlicensed Operations in the Television
Bands, Repurposed 600 MHz Band, 600
MHz Guard Bands and Duplex Gap, and
Channel 37, and Amendment of Part 74
of the Commission’s Rules for Low
Power Auxiliary Stations in the
Repurposed 600 MHz Band and 600
MHz Duplex Gap, ET Docket No 14–
165, GN Docket No. 12–268, FCC 15–99,
which modifies Commission rules for
unlicensed wireless devices and
wireless microphones in the
reconstituted TV bands and the new 600
MHz band.
On June 12, 2000, the Commission
released a Report and Order, ET Docket
No. 99–255, FCC 00–211, which
allocated spectrum and established
rules for a ‘‘Wireless Medical Telemetry
Service’’ (WMTS) that allows
potentially life-critical equipment to
operate in an interference-protected
basis. Medical telemetry equipment is
used in hospitals and health care
facilities to transmit patient
measurement data such as pulse and
respiration rate to a nearby receiver,
permitting greater patient mobility and
increased comfort. The Commission
designated a frequency coordinator,
who maintains a database of all WMTS
equipment. All parties using equipment
in the WMTS are required to
coordinate/register their operating
frequency and other relevant technical
operating parameters with the
designated coordinator. The database
provides a record of the frequencies
used by each facility or device to assist
parties in selecting frequencies to avoid
interference. Without a database, there
would be no record of WMTS usage
because WMTS transmitters will not be
individually licensed. The designated
frequency coordinator has the
responsibility to maintain an accurate
engineering database of all WMTS
transmitters, identified by location
(coordinates, street address, and
building), operating frequency, emission
type and output power, frequency
range(s) used, modulation scheme used,
effective radiated power, number of
transmitters in use at the health care
facility at the time of registration, legal
name of the authorized health care
provider, and point of contact for
PO 00000

authorized health care provider. The
frequency coordinator will make the
database available to WMTS users,
equipment manufacturers and the
public. The coordinator will also notify
users of potential frequency conflicts. In
addition, in order to receive interference
protection, parties operating WMTS
networks on channel 37 shall notify one
of the white space database
administrators of their operating
location pursuant to §§ 15.713(j)(11) and
15.715(p) of that chapter.
