Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 12 / Thursday, January 18, 2018 / Notices
is contained in 47 U.S.C. Sections 154(i)
and 309(j).
Total Annual Burden: 75 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $6,250.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Needs and Uses: Section 90.621(b)(4)
allows stations to be licensed at
distances less than those prescribed in
the Short-Spacing Separation Table
where applicants ‘‘secure a waiver.’’
Applicants seeking a waiver in these
circumstances are still required to
submit with their application an
interference analysis, based upon any of
the generally-accepted terrain-based
propagation models, demonstrating that
co-channel stations would receive the
same or greater interference protection
than provided in the Short-Spacing
Separation Table.
Section 90.621(b)(5) permits stations
to be located closer than the required
separation, so long as the applicant
provides letters of concurrence
indicating that the applicant and each
co-channel licensee within the specified
separation agree to accept any
interference resulting from the reduced
separation between systems. Applicants
are still required to file such
concurrence letters with the
Commission. Additionally, the
Commission did not eliminate filings
required by provisions such as
international agreements, its
environmental (National Environmental
Protection Act (NEPA)) rules, its
antenna structure registration rules, or
quiet zone notification/filing
procedures.
Section 90.693 requires that 800 MHz
incumbent Specialized Mobile Radio
(SMR) service licensees ‘‘notify the
Commission within 30 days of any
changes in technical parameters or
additional stations constructed that fall
within the short-spacing criteria.’’ It has
been standard practice for incumbents
to notify the Commission of all changes
and additional stations constructed in
cases where such stations are in fact
located less than the required 70 mile
distance separation, and are therefore
technically ‘‘short-spaced,’’ but are in
fact fully compliant with the parameters
of the Commission’s Short-Spacing
Separation Table.
The Commission uses this
information to determine whether to
grant licenses to applicants making
‘‘minor modifications’’ to their systems
which do not satisfy mileage separation
requirements pursuant to the ShortSpacing Separation Table.

Act (PRA) of 1995, the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC or
the Commission) invites the general

change in the reporting and/or
recordkeeping requirements). The
Commission will submit this
information collection after this 60-day
comment period to the OMB. The
Commission adopted accounting rules
that require carriers to account for
adverse federal antitrust judgments and
post-judgment special charges. With
regard to settlements of such lawsuits
there will be a presumption that carriers
can recover the portion of the settlement
that represents the avoidable costs of
litigation; provided that the carrier
makes a required showing. To receive
recognition of its avoided cost of
litigation a carrier must demonstrate, in
a request for special relief, the avoided
costs of litigation by showing the
amount corresponding to the additional
litigation expenses discounted to
present value, that the carrier
reasonably estimates it would have paid
if it had not settled. Settlement costs in
excess of the avoided costs of litigation
are presumed not recoverable unless a
carrier rebuts that presumption by
showing the basic factors that enticed
the carrier to settle and demonstrating
that ratepayers benefited from the
settlement.

Total Annual Cost: $560,000.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality with
this information collection.
Needs and Uses: The Restoring
Internet Freedom Report and Order
(Restoring Internet Freedom Order)
revises the information collection
requirements applicable to internet
service providers (ISPs). The Open
Internet Order, adopted in 2010,
required ISPs to disclose certain
network management processes,
performance characteristics, and other
attributes of broadband internet access
service. These disclosure requirements
were significantly increased by the Title
II Order, adopted in 2015. The Restoring
Internet Freedom Order eliminates the
additional collection imposed by the
Title II Order and adds a few discrete
elements to the Open Internet Order’s
information collection requirements.
The Restoring Internet Freedom Order
requires an ISP to publicly disclose
network management practices,
performance, and commercial terms of
its broadband internet access service
sufficient to enable consumers to make
informed choices regarding the
purchase and use of such services, and
entrepreneurs and other small
businesses to develop, market, and
maintain internet offerings. As part of
these disclosures, the rule requires ISPs
to disclose their congestion
management, application-specific
behavior, device attachment rules, and
security practices, as well as any
blocking, throttling, affiliated
prioritization, or paid prioritization in
which they engage. The rule also
requires ISPs to disclose performance
characteristics, including a service
description and the impact of nonbroadband internet access services data
services. Finally, the rule requires ISPs
to disclose the price of the service,
