contained in 47 U.S.C. 151, 152, 154(i),

Total Annual Cost: $13,213,975.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality with
this collection of information.
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
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

to reduce paperwork burdens, and as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) of 1995, the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC or
the Commission) invites the general

burden estimate; ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; ways to minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on the respondents,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology; and ways to
further reduce the information
collection burden on small business
concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a
collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid control
number. No person shall be subject to
any penalty for failing to comply with
a collection of information subject to the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As part of
its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork burdens, and as required by
the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC or
Commission) invites the general public
and other Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on the
following information collections.
Comments are requested concerning:
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
the accuracy of the Commission’s
burden estimate; ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 50 / Thursday, March 16, 2017 / Notices
the respondents submit confidential
information to the FCC. Respondents
may, however, request confidential
treatment for information they believe to
be confidential under 47 CFR 0.459 of
the Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: On August 4, 1998,
the FCC released a Report and Order
(R&O), Examination of Current Policy
Concerning the Treatment of
Confidential Information Submitted to
the Commission, CG Docket No. 96–55.
The R&O included a Model Protective
Order (MPO) that is used, when
appropriate, to grant limited access to
information that the Commission
determines should not be routinely
available for public inspection. The
party granted access to the confidential
information materials must keep a
written record of all copies made and
provide this record to the submitted of
the confidential materials upon request.
This approach was adopted to facilitate
the use of confidential materials under
an MPO, instead of restricting access to
materials. In addition, the FCC amended
47 CFR 0.459(b) to set forth the type of
information that should be included
when a party submits information to the
Commission for which it seeks
confidential treatment. This listing of
types of information to be submitted
was adopted to provide guidance to the
public for confidentiality requests.

CMAS Third R&O, each Commercial
Mobile Service (CMS) provider must file

indicating whether or not it intends to
transmit emergency alerts as part of the
Commercial Mobile Alert System

that this filing requirement was subject
to OMB review and approval. The
Commission received ‘‘pre-approval’’
