Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities, not-for-profit institutions,

Number of Respondents and
Responses: 71 respondents; 765
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 1
hour–5 hours.
Frequency of Response: Third-party
disclosure reporting requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in sections 1, 2, 4(i), 7, 301,
303, 309, and 332 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, 47 U.S.C. 151, 152, 154(i),

Total Annual Burden: 2,869 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $82,285.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
No known confidentiality between third
parties.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: There
are no impacts under the Privacy Act.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
requested OMB approval for new
disclosure requirements pertaining to
the First Amendment to Nationwide
Programmatic Agreement for the
Collocation of Wireless Antennas (First
Amendment) to address the review of
deployments of small wireless antennas
and associated equipment under section
106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act (NHPA) (54 U.S.C.
306108 (formerly codified at 16 U.S.C.
470f). The FCC, the Advisory Council
on Historic Preservation (Council), and
the National Conference of State
Historic Preservation Officers
(NCSHPO) agreed to amend the
Nationwide Programmatic Agreement
for the Collocation of Wireless Antennas
(Collocation Agreement) to account for
the limited potential of small wireless
antennas and associated equipment,
including Distributed Antenna Systems
(DAS) and small cell facilities, to affect
historic properties. The Collocation
Agreement addresses historic
preservation review for collocations on
existing towers, buildings, and other
non-tower structures. Under the
Collocation Agreement, most antenna
collocations on existing structures are
excluded from section 106 historic
preservation review, with a few
exceptions defined to address
potentially problematic situations. On
August 3, 2016, the Commission’s
Wireless Telecommunications Bureau,
ACHP, and NCSHPO finalized and
VerDate Sep<11>2014

executed the First Amendment to the
Collocation Agreement, to tailor the
Section 106 process for small wireless
deployments by excluding deployments
that have minimal potential for adverse
effects on historic properties.
The following are the information
collection requirements in connection
with the amended provisions of
Appendix B of Part 1 of the
Commission’s rules (47 CFR pt.1, App.
B):
• Stipulation VII.C of the amended
Collocation Agreement provides that
proposals to mount a small antenna on
a traffic control structure (i.e., traffic
light) or on a light pole, lamp post or
other structure whose primary purpose
is to provide public lighting, where the
structure is located inside or within 250
feet of the boundary of a historic
district, are generally subject to review
through the section 106 process. These
proposed collocations will be excluded
from such review on a case-by-case
basis, if (1) the collocation licensee or
the owner of the structure has not
received written or electronic
notification that the FCC is in receipt of
a complaint from a member of the
public, an Indian Tribe, a SHPO or the
Council, that the collocation has an
adverse effect on one or more historic
properties; and (2) the structure is not
historic (not a designated National
Historic Landmark or a property listed
in or eligible for listing in the National
Register of Historic Places) or
considered a contributing or compatible
element within the historic district,
under certain procedures. These
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.
