procedures require that applicant must
request in writing that the SHPO concur
with the applicant’s determination that
the structure is not a contributing or
compatible element within the historic
district, and the applicant’s written
request must specify the traffic control
structure, light pole, or lamp post on
which the applicant proposes to
collocate and explain why the structure
is not a contributing element based on
the age and type of structure, as well as
other relevant factors. The SHPO has
thirty days from its receipt of such
written notice to inform the applicant
whether it disagrees with the applicant’s
determination that the structure is not a
contributing or compatible element
within the historic district. If within the
thirty-day period, the SHPO informs the
applicant that the structure is a
contributing element or compatible
element within the historic district or
that the applicant has not provided
sufficient information for a
determination, the applicant may not
deploy its facilities on that structure
without completing the Section 106
review process. If, within the thirty day
period, the SHPO either informs the
applicant that the structure is not a
contributing or compatible element
within the historic district, or the SHPO
fails to respond to the applicant within
the thirty-day period, the applicant has
no further Section 106 review
obligations, provided that the
collocation meets the certain volumetric
and ground disturbance provisions.
The First Amendment to the
Collocation Agreement establishes new
exclusions from the Section 106 review
process for physically small
deployments like DAS and small cells,
fulfilling a directive in the
Commission’s Infrastructure Report and
Order, 80 FR 1238, Jan. 8, 2015, to
further streamline review of these
installations. These new exclusions will
reduce the cost, time, and burden
associated with deploying small
facilities in many settings, and provide
opportunities to increase densification
at low cost and with very little impact
on historic properties. Facilitating these
deployments thus directly advances
efforts to roll out 5G service in
communities across the country.

a station. FCC Form 340 is only used if
the station will operate on a channel
that is reserved exclusively for NCE use,
or in the situation where applications
for NCE stations on non-reserved
channels are mutually exclusive only
with one another. Also, FCC Form 340
is used by Native American Tribes and
Alaska Native Villages (‘‘Tribes’’), tribal
consortia, or entities owned or
controlled by Tribes when qualifying for
the ‘‘Tribal Priority’’ under 47 CFR
73.7000, 73.7002.
FCC Form 340 also contains a third
party disclosure requirement, pursuant
to Section 73.3580. This rule requires a
party applying for a new broadcast
station, or making a major change to an
existing station, to give local public
notice of this filing in a newspaper of
general circulation in the community in
which the station is located. This local
public notice must be completed within
30 days of tendering the application.
This notice must be published at least
twice a week for two consecutive weeks
in a three-week period. In addition, a
copy of this notice must be placed in the
station’s public inspection file along
with the application, pursuant to
Section 73.3527. This recordkeeping
information collection requirement is
contained in OMB Control No. 3060–
0214, which covers Section 73.3527.

The Commission has established rules
for the marketing of radio frequency
(RF) devices prior to equipment
authorization under guidelines in 47
CFR Section 2.803. The general
guidelines in Section 2.803 prohibit the
marketing or sale of such equipment
prior to a demonstration of compliance
with the applicable equipment
authorization and technical
requirements in the case of a device
subject to verification or Declaration of
Conformity without special notification.
Section 2.803(c)(2) permits limited
marketing activities prior to equipment
authorization, for devices that could be
authorized under the current rules;
could be authorized under waivers of
such rules that are in effect at the time
of marketing; or could be authorized
under rules that have been adopted by
the Commission but that have not yet
become effective. These devices may be
not operated unless permitted by
section 2.805.
The following general guidelines
apply for third party notifications:
(a) A RF device may be advertised and
displayed at a trade show or exhibition
prior to a demonstration of compliance
with the applicable technical standards
and compliance with the applicable
equipment authorization procedure
provided the advertising and display is
accompanied by a conspicuous notice
specified in Section 2.803(c)(2)(iii)(A) or
Section 2.803(c)(2)(iii)(B).
(b) An offer for sale solely to business,
commercial, industrial, scientific, or
medical users of an RF device in the
conceptual, developmental, design or
pre-production stage prior to
demonstration of compliance with the
equipment authorization regulations
may be permitted provided that the
prospective buyer is advised in writing
at the time of the offer for sale that the
equipment is subject to FCC rules and
that the equipment will comply with the
appropriate rules before delivery to the
buyer or centers of distribution.
(c) Equipment sold as evaluation kit
may be sold to specific users with notice
specified in Section 2.803(c)(2)(iv)(B).

authorization or verification of
compliance;
(2) May be manufactured in the
future;
(3) May be sold as kits; and
(4) Operates under varying technical
standards.
The information disclosed is essential
to ensuring that interference to radio

Respondents: Business or other for
profit; not-for-profit institutions; state,
local or tribal government.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 1,172 respondents; 1,172
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 1
hour–628 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting and one-time reporting
requirements; third party disclosure.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits (47 CFR 90.523)
and voluntary (47 CFR 90.527 and
90.1211). Statutory authority for this
information collection is contained in
47 U.S.C. 337.
Total Annual Burden: 35,756 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality.
Needs and Uses: Section 90.523
requires that nongovernmental
organizations that provide services
which protect the safety of life or
property obtain a written statement from
an authorizing state or local government
entity to support the nongovernmental
organization’s application for
assignment of 700 MHz frequencies.
Section 90.527 requires 700 MHz
regional planning regions to submit an
initial plan for use of the 700 MHz
general use spectrum in the
consolidated narrowband segment 769–
775 MHz and 799–805 MHz. Regional
planning committees may modify plans
by written request, which must contain

the full text of the modification and
certification that the modification was
successfully coordinated with adjacent
regions. Regional planning promotes a
fair and open process in developing
allocation assignments by requiring
input from eligible entities in the
allocation decisions and the application
technical review/approval process.
Entities that seek inclusion in the plan
to obtain future licenses are considered
third party respondents. Section
90.1211 authorizes the fifty-five 700
MHz regional planning committees to
develop and submit on a voluntary basis
a plan on guidelines for coordination
procedures to facilitate the shared use of
the 4940–4990 MHz (4.9 GHz) band.
The Commission has stayed this
requirement indefinitely. Applicants are
granted a geographic area license for the
entire fifty MHz of 4.9 GHz spectrum
over a geographical area defined by the
boundaries of their jurisdiction—city,
county or state. Accordingly, licensees
are required to coordinate their
operations in the shared band to avoid
interference, a common practice when
joint operations are conducted.
Commission staff will use the
information to assign licenses,
determine regional spectrum
requirements and to develop technical
standards. The information will also be
used to determine whether prospective
licensees operate in compliance with
the Commission’s rules. Without such
information, the Commission could not
accommodate regional requirements or
provide for the efficient use of the
available frequencies. This information
collection includes rules to govern the
operation and licensing of the 700 MHz
and 4.9 GHz bands rules and regulation
to ensure that licensees continue to
fulfill their statutory responsibilities in
accordance with the Communications
Act of 1934, as amended. Such
information will continue to be used to
verify that applicants are legally and
technically qualified to hold licenses,
and to determine compliance with
Commission rules.

Needs and Uses: Section 90.523 requires that nongovernmental
organizations that provide services which protect the safety of life or
property obtain a written statement from an authorizing state or local
government entity to support the nongovernmental organization's
application for assignment of 700 MHz frequencies. Section 90.527
requires 700 MHz regional planning regions to submit an initial plan
for use of the 700 MHz general use spectrum in the consolidated
narrowband segment 769-775 MHz and 799-805 MHz. Regional planning
committees may modify plans by written request, which must contain
[[Page 25798]]
the full text of the modification and certification that the
modification was successfully coordinated with adjacent regions.
Regional planning promotes a fair and open process in developing
allocation assignments by requiring input from eligible entities in the
allocation decisions and the application technical review/approval
process. Entities that seek inclusion in the plan to obtain future
licenses are considered third party respondents. Section 90.1211
authorizes the fifty-five 700 MHz regional planning committees to
develop and submit on a voluntary basis a plan on guidelines for
coordination procedures to facilitate the shared use of the 4940-4990
MHz (4.9 GHz) band. The Commission has stayed this requirement
indefinitely. Applicants are granted a geographic area license for the
entire fifty MHz of 4.9 GHz spectrum over a geographical area defined
by the boundaries of their jurisdiction--city, county or state.
Accordingly, licensees are required to coordinate their operations in
the shared band to avoid interference, a common practice when joint
operations are conducted.
Commission staff will use the information to assign licenses,
determine regional spectrum requirements and to develop technical
standards. The information will also be used to determine whether
prospective licensees operate in compliance with the Commission's
rules. Without such information, the Commission could not accommodate
regional requirements or provide for the efficient use of the available
frequencies. This information collection includes rules to govern the
operation and licensing of the 700 MHz and 4.9 GHz bands rules and
regulation to ensure that licensees continue to fulfill their statutory
responsibilities in accordance with the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended. Such information will continue to be used to verify that
applicants are legally and technically qualified to hold licenses, and
to determine compliance with Commission rules.
