The general purpose of the
Commission’s Part 4 rules is to gather
sufficient information regarding
disruptions to telecommunications to
facilitate FCC monitoring, analysis, and
investigation of the reliability and
security of voice, paging, and
interconnected VoIP communications
services, and to identify and act on
potential threats to our Nation’s
telecommunications infrastructure. The
Commission uses this information
collection to identify the duration,
magnitude, root causes, and

contributing factors with respect to
significant outages, and to identify
outage trends; support service
restoration efforts; and help coordinate
with public safety officials during times
of crisis. The Commission also
maintains an ongoing dialogue with
reporting entities, as well as with the
communications industry at large,
generally regarding lessons learned from
the information collection in order to a
foster better understanding of the root
causes of significant outages, and to
explore preventive measures in the
future so as to mitigate the potential
scale and impact of such outages.

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality with

Needs and Uses: The FCC adopted an
Order on Reconsideration and Second
Report and Order, FCC 16–55, that
amends rules established in the First
Report and Order, FCC 15–47, for
commercial use of 150 megahertz in the
3550–3700 MHz (3.5 GHz) band and a
new Citizens Broadband Radio Service,
on April 28, 2016, published at 81 FR
49023 (July 26, 2016). The rule changes
PO 00000
Frm 00044

Sfmt 9990
and information requirements contained
in the First Report and Order are also
approved under this Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) control
number and have not changed since
they were last approved by OMB.
The Commission seeks approval from
OMB for the information collection
requirements contained in FCC 16–55.
The amendments contained in the
Second Report and Order create
additional capacity for wireless
broadband by adopting a new approach
to spectrum management to facilitate
more intensive spectrum sharing
between commercial and federal users
and among multiple tiers of commercial
users. The Spectrum Access System
(SAS) will use the information to
authorize and coordinate spectrum use
for Citizen Broadband Radio Service
Devices (CBSDs). The Commission will
use the information to coordinate among
the spectrum tiers and determine
Protection Areas for Priority Access
Licensees (PALs).
The following is a description of the
information collection requirements for
which the Commission seeks OMB
approval:
Section 96.25(c)(1)(i) requires PALs to
inform the SAS if a CBSD is no longer
in use.
Section 96.25(c)(2)(i) creates a default
protection contour for any CBSD at the
outer limit of the PAL Protection Area,
but allows a PAL to self-report a contour
smaller than that established by the
SAS.
These rules which contain
information collection requirements are
designed to provide for flexible use of
this spectrum, while managing three
tiers of users in the band, and create a
low-cost entry point for a wide array of
users. The rules will encourage
innovation and investment in mobile
broadband use in this spectrum while
protecting incumbent users. Without
this information, the Commission would
not be able to carry out its statutory
responsibilities.
