Download as PDF mstockstill on DSK30JT082PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 146 / Tuesday, August 1, 2017 / Notices Form Number: N/A. Type of Review: New collection. Respondents: State, Local or Tribal Government. Number of Respondents and Responses: 55 respondents: 110 responses. Estimated Time per Response: 0.25 hours for the initial notification. Frequency of Response: One-time reporting requirement. Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. Statutory authority for requiring licensees to submit this information enter into the written agreements is contained in the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012, Public Law 112– 96, 126 Stat. 156 §§ 6001–6303, 6413 (codified at 47 U.S.C. 1401–1443, 1457). Total Annual Burden: 26,414 hours. Total Annual Cost: No cost. Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s). Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Alternative state plans are very likely to contain proprietary information as well as information whose disclosure could compromise network security. Parties may therefore seek confidential treatment of any filing under our Part 0 rules, including the use of a protective order process to allow other those granted party status to the restricted proceeding access to the information on a confidential basis. Needs and Uses: This collection will be submitted as a new collection after this 60-day comment period to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in order to obtain the full threeyear clearance. The purpose of requiring this collection is to comply with Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012. The Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 provides that ‘‘the Governor shall choose whether to participate in the deployment of the nationwide, interoperable broadband network as proposed by [FirstNet,] or conduct its own deployment of a radio access network in such State.’’ If a Governor chooses not to participate in the NPSBN, Section 6302(e)(3)(A) of the Act requires the Governor to ‘‘notify [FirstNet], the NTIA, and the Commission of such decision.’’ The Act also states that an opt-out state ‘‘shall submit’’ to the Commission an ‘‘alternative plan’’ for ‘‘the construction, maintenance, operation, and improvements’’ of the RAN within the state. Section 3(C)(ii) of the Act mandates that ‘‘upon submission of this plan, the Commission shall approve or disapprove of the plan.’’ We require that either the Governor or the Governor’s his duly authorized designee may provide notification of the VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:13 Jul 31, 2017 Jkt 241001 Governor’s decision. The opt-out notification to the Commission must also include a certification that the state is providing simultaneous notice of its opt-out decision to both to NTIA and FirstNet. To facilitate the electronic filing of opt-out notifications, we will establish the email address opt-out@ fcc.gov as the address for this purpose. Each opt-out state will have 60 days from the completion of its Request For Proposal (240 days from the date of its opt-out notification to the Commission) to file an alternative state plan via the secure email address opt-out@fcc.gov or via certified mail to the Secretary’s office.

The DNIC is intended to identify and permit automated switching of data traffic to particular networks. The FCC grants the DNICs to operators of public data networks on an international protocol. The operators of public data networks file an application for a DNIC on the Internet-based, International Bureau Filing System (IBFS). The DNIC is obtained free of charge on a one-time only basis unless there is a change in ownership or the owner chooses to relinquish the code to the FCC.
