Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 62 / Monday, April 3, 2017 / Notices
Needs and Uses: FCC Form 601 is a
consolidated, multi-part application
form that is used for market-based and
site-based licensing for wireless
telecommunications services, including
public safety licenses, which are filed
through the Commission’s Universal
Licensing System (ULS). FCC Form 601
is composed of a main form that
contains administrative information and
a series of schedules used for filing
technical and other information. This
form is used to apply for a new license,
to amend or withdraw a pending
application, to modify or renew an
existing license, cancel a license,
request a duplicate license, submit
required notifications, request an
extension of time to satisfy construction
requirements, or request an
administrative update to an existing
license (such as mailing address
change), request a Special Temporary
Authority or Developmental License.
Respondents are encouraged to submit
FCC Form 601 electronically and are
required to do so when submitting FCC
Form 601 to apply for an authorization
for which the applicant was the winning
bidder in a spectrum auction.
The data collected on FCC Form 601
includes the FCC Registration Number
(FRN), which serves as a ‘‘common
link’’ for all filings an entity has with
the FCC. The Debt Collection
Improvement Act of 1996 requires
entities filing with the Commission use
an FRN.
On July 14, 2016, the Commission
released a Report and Order in which it
established the Upper Microwave
Flexible Use Service authorizing mobile
use in the 27.5–28.35 GHz, 37–38.6
GHz, and 38.6–40 GHz (39 GHz) bands,
See Use of Spectrum Bands Above 24
GHz For Mobile Radio Services, et al.,
Report and Order and Further Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking, FCC 16–89, 31
FCC Rcd 8014 (2016). Of relevance to
the information collection at issue here,
the Commission established a process
by which 39 GHz licensees can conduct
a voluntary, pre-auction license swap or
exchange which would give licensees
the opportunity to consolidate their
licensed blocks into larger tranches of
contiguous spectrum thereby leaving
more valuable empty contiguous
channel blocks for the Commission to
auction.
The Commission seeks approval for
revisions to its currently approved
collection of information under OMB
Control Number 3060–0798 to permit
the collection of the additional
information for Commission licenses
and permits, pursuant to the
information collection requirements
adopted by the Commission in the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:32 Mar 31, 2017
Jkt 241001
Spectrum Frontiers R&O, including the
provisions authorizing voluntary
channel swaps. We are proposing to
revise schedule E of form 601 to allow
licensees to file a modification to
indicate active licenses and leases they
are requesting authorization to swap.
We do not anticipate that this revision
will have any impact on the burden to
complete the form.
The Commission therefore seeks
approval for a revision to its currently
approved information collection on FCC
Form 601 to revise FCC Form 601
accordingly.

Interfaces Accessibility Order), MB Docket Nos. 12-108, 12-107,
published at 78 FR 77210, December 20, 2013, the Commission adopted
rules implementing sections 204 and 205 of the CVAA related to making
accessible the user interfaces, text menus and guides of digital
apparatus designed to receive or play back video programming and
navigation devices for the display or selection of multichannel video
programming. On November 20, 2015, in document FCC 15-156, the
Commission released a Second Report and Order, Order on
Reconsideration, and Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (the
Second User Interfaces Accessibility Order), MB Docket No. 12-108,
published at 81 FR 5921, February 14, 2016, adopting additional rules
to ensure that consumers are able to find out about what accessible
devices and features are available from covered manufacturers and
multichannel video programming distributors (MVPDs) and how to use such
devices and features. Collectively, these rules are codified at 47 CFR
79.107-79.110.
Covered entities are required to comply with the rules and
information collection requirements contained in the User Interfaces
Accessibility Order and in the Second User Interfaces Accessibility
Order beginning December 20, 2016.
The Commission is submitting this revised information collection to
transfer certain information collection burdens associated with this
OMB Control Number 3060-1203 to OMB Control Number 3060-0874. This
transfer is being made because the Commission's online consumer
complaint portal, which is part of the information collection contained
in OMB Control Number 3060-0874, is being revised to enable consumers
to file complaints related to the Commission's user interfaces
accessibility requirements through the Commission's online complaint
portal.
OMB Control Number: 3060-0874.
Title: Consumer Complaint Portal: General Complaints, Obscenity or
Indecency Complaints, Complaints under the Telephone Consumer
Protection Act, Slamming Complaints, RDAs and Communications
Accessibility Complaints.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Individuals or households; Business or other for-
profit entities; Not for profit institutions; State, Local or Tribal
Government.
Number of Respondents and Responses: 335,979 respondents; 335,979
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 15 minutes (.25 hours) to 30 minutes
(.50 hours).
Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Voluntary. The statutory authority for this
collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. 208 of the Communications Act of
1934, as amended (the Act).
Total Annual Burden: 84,006 hours.
Total Annual Cost: None.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Confidentiality is an issue
to the extent that individuals and households provide personally
identifiable information, which is covered under the FCC's updated
system of records notice (SORN), FCC/CGB-1, ``Informal Complaints,
Inquiries and Requests for Dispute Assistance.'' As required by the
Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Commission also published a SORN, FCC/
CGB-1 ``Informal Complaints, Inquiries, and Requests for Dispute
Assistance,'' in the Federal Register on August 15, 2014 (79 FR 48152)
which became effective on September 24, 2014.
Privacy Impact Assessment: The FCC completed a Privacy Impact
Assessment (PIA) on June 28, 2007. It may be reviewed at https://www.fcc.gov/omd/privacyact/Privacy-Impact-Assessment.html. The
Commission is in the process of updating the PIA to incorporate various
revisions to it as a result of revisions to the SORN.
Needs and Uses: The Commission consolidated all of the FCC informal
consumer complaint intake into an online consumer complaint portal,
which allows the Commission to better manage the collection of informal
consumer complaints. Informal consumer complaints consist of informal
consumer complaints, inquiries and comments. This revised information
collection requests OMB approval for the addition of a layer of
consumer reported complaint information related to the FCC's disability
accessibility requirements for video programming digital apparatus and
navigation device user interfaces (e.g., TV and set-top box controls,
menus, and program guides).
The information collection burdens associated with these complaints
is being transferred from OMB Control Number 3060-1203 to OMB Control
Number 3060-0874 to enable consumers to file complaints related to the

Commission's user interfaces accessibility requirements through the
Commission's online complaint portal.
