ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
As part of its continuing effort
to reduce paperwork burdens, and as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (PRA), the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC or
Commission) invites the general public
and other Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on the
following information collections.
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
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 FCC 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.
DATES: Written comments should be
submitted on or before October 29,
2018. If you anticipate that you will be
submitting comments but find it
difficult to do so within the period of
time allowed by this notice, you should
advise the contacts below as soon as
possible.

Jkt 244001
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Revision of an
existing collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit, not-for-profit institutions, and
state, local and tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 280
respondents; 280 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: .5–10
hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement; third party
disclosure requirement; upon
commencement of service, or within 3
years of effective date of rules; and at
end of license term, or 2024 for
incumbent licensees.
Obligation to Respond: Statutory
authority for this collection are
contained in sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10,
201, 225, 227, 301, 302, 302a, 303, 304,
307, 309, 310, 316, 319, 332, and 336 of
the Communications Act of 1934, 47
U.S.C. 151, 152, 153, 154, 155, 157, 160,
201, 225, 227, 301, 302, 302a, 303, 304,
307, 309, 310, 316, 319, 332, 336,
Section 706 of the Telecommunications
Act of 1996, as amended, 47 U.S.C.
1302.
Total Annual Burden: 615 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $450,000.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality with
this collection of information.
Needs and Uses: In this collection, the
Commission adopted new licensing,
service, and technical rules under Part
30 of the Commission’s Rules for the
24.25–24.45 GHz and 24.75–25.25 GHz
bands (collectively, 24 GHz band), the
27.5–28.35 GHz band (28 GHz band),
the 38.6–40 GHz band (39 GHz band),
the 37–38.6 GHz band (37 GHz band),
the 47.2–48.2 GHz band (47 GHz band).
Therefore, the Commission expanded
the scope of the rules to include
additional bands. In turn, since the rules
now apply in additional bands, the
number of respondents, the annual
number of responses, annual burden
hours and annual costs will increase for
this collection. The Commission also
authorizes unlicensed use in the 64–71
GHz band under Part 15. In so doing,
the Commission created a consistent
framework across all of the bands that
can serve as a template for additional
bands in the future.
The rules adopted by the
Commission, in FCC 17–152 and FCC
18–73 revise the previously approved
information collection relating to
Section 25.136 of the Commission’s
Rules. The Commission added the 24
GHz band and the 47 GHz band (47.2–
48.2 GHz) to the bands that are subject
to the framework for sharing between

Frm 00015
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

the Upper Microwave Flexible Use
Service (UMFUS) and the FixedSatellite Service (FSS) established in
that rule. In addition, the Commission
modified the sharing criteria between
UMFUS and FSS to facilitate
deployment of FSS earth stations in
smaller markets and decrease the
possibility of conflicts between UMFUS
and FSS.
Section 25.136—This rule contains
both a third-party coordination
requirement and a filing requirement.
Both requirements are necessary to
ensure that Fixed Satellite Service earth
stations can receive interference
protection without having an undue
impact on terrestrial deployment.
