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.

the accuracy of the Commission’s
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 Commission may not conduct or
sponsor a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) control number. No person shall
be subject to any penalty for failing to
comply with a collection of information
subject to the PRA that does not display
a valid OMB control number.

the Commission) invites the general
public and other Federal agencies to
take this opportunity to comment on the
following information collection.
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
information collected; ways to minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on the respondents,
including the use of automated

Agency Service Delivery.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.

households, business or other for-profit,
not-for-profit institutions, and state,
local, or tribal government.

Obligation to Respond: Voluntary.
Total Annual Burden: 43,267 hours.
Total Annual Costs: No Cost.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
Responses to feedback instruments will
be confidential.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: There
is no Privacy Act impact as personally
identifiable information (PII) will not be
collected.
Needs and Uses: The information
collection activity will garner
qualitative customer and stakeholder
feedback in an efficient, timely manner,
in accordance with the Administration’s
commitment to improving service
delivery. By qualitative feedback we
mean information that provides useful
insights on perceptions and opinions,
but are not statistical surveys that yield
quantitative results that can be
generalized to the population of study.
This feedback will provide insights into
customer or stakeholder perceptions,
experiences and expectations, provide
an early warning of issues with service,
or focus attention on areas where
communication, training or change in
operations might improve delivery of
products or services. These collections
will allow for ongoing, collaborative and
actionable communications between the
Agency and its customers and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback
to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
Feedback collected under this generic
clearance will provide useful
information, but it will not yield data
that can be generalized to the overall
population. This type of generic
clearance for qualitative information
will not be used for quantitative
information collections that are
designed to yield reliably actionable
results, such as monitoring trends over
time or documenting program
performance. Such data uses require
more rigorous designs that address: The
target population to which
generalizations will be made, the
sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering),
the precision requirements or power
calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate,
methods of assessing potential
nonresponse bias, the protocols for data
collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior
fielding the study. Depending on the
degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be
eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.
