avoid the expense of instituting a
tracking system. and undergoing an
audit. On February 22, 2018, the
Commission adopted a Report and
Order, FCC 18–21 (2018 Payphone
Order), that: (1) Eliminated the
payphone call tracking system audit and
associated reporting requirements; (2)
permitted a company official, including
but no longer limited to, the chief
financial officer (CFO), to certify that a
Completing Carrier’s quarterly
compensation payments to PSPs are
accurate and complete; and (3)
eliminated expired interim and
intermediate per-payphone
compensation rules that no longer apply
to any entity. We believe that the
revisions adopted in the 2018 Payphone
Order significantly decrease the
paperwork burden on carriers.

published at 79 FR 48442 (Aug. 15,
2014). The Commission seeks to extend
for a period of three years from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) some of the information
collection requirements contained in
FCC 14–50. The Commission will use
the information to ensure compliance
with required filings of notifications,
certifications, license renewals, license
cancelations, and license modifications.
Also, such information will be used to
minimize interference and to determine
compliance with Commission’s rules.
The following is a description of the
information collection requirements
approved under this collection:
Section 27.14(k) requires 600 MHz
licensees to demonstrate compliance
with performance requirements by filing
a construction notification with the
Commission, within 15 days of the
applicable benchmark.
Section 27.14(t)(6) requires 600 MHz
licensees to make a renewal showing as
a condition of each renewal. The
showing must include a detailed
description of the applicant’s provision
of service during the entire license
period and address: (i) The level and
quality of service provided by the
applicant (including the population
served, the area served, the number of
subscribers, the services offered); (ii) the
date service commenced, whether
service was ever interrupted, and the
duration of any interruption or outage;
(iii) the extent to which service is
provided to rural areas; (iv) the extent
to which service is provided to
qualifying tribal land as defined in 47
CFR 1.2110(f)(3)(i); and (v) any other
factors associated with the level of
service to the public.
Section 27.17(c) requires 600 MHz
licensees to notify the Commission

permanently discontinue service by
filing FCC Form 601 or 605 and
requesting license cancellation.
Section 27.1321(b) previously
designated as 27.19(b) requires 600 MHz
licensees with base and fixed stations in
the 600 MHz downlink band within 25
kilometers of Very Long Baseline Array
(VLBA) observatories to coordinate with
the National Science Foundation (NSF)
prior to commencing operations.
Section 27.1321(c) previously
designated as 27.19(c) requires 600 MHz
licensees that intend to operate base and
fixed stations in the 600 MHz downlink
band in locations near the Radio
Astronomy Observatory site located in
Green Bank, Pocahontas County, West
Virginia, or near the Arecibo
Observatory in Puerto Rico, to comply
with the provisions in 47 CFR 1.924.

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 51 / Thursday, March 15, 2018 / Notices
Section 74.602(h)(5)(ii) requires 600
MHz licensees to notify the licensee of
a studio-transmitter link (TV STL), TV
relay station, or TV translator relay
station of their intent to commence
wireless operations and the likelihood
of harmful interference from the TV
STL, TV relay station, or TV translator
relay station to those operations within
the wireless licensee’s licensed
geographic service area. The notification
is to be in the form of a letter, via
certified mail, return receipt requested
and must be sent not less than 30 days
in advance of approximate date of
commencement of operations.
Section 74.602(h)(5)(iii) requires all
TV STL, TV relay station and TV
translator relay station licensees to
modify or cancel their authorizations
and vacate the 600 MHz band no later
than the end of the post-auction
transition period as defined in 47 CFR

These rules which contain
information collection requirements are
designed to provide for flexible use of
this spectrum by allowing licensees to
choose their type of service offerings, to
encourage innovation and investment in
mobile broadband use in this spectrum,
and to provide a stable regulatory
environment in which broadband
deployment would be able to develop
through the application of standard
terrestrial wireless rules. Without this
information, the Commission would not
be able to carry out its statutory
responsibilities.
