Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality
required with this collection of
information.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Needs and Uses: The information
collection requirements contained in 47
CFR 73.623 requires applicants to
submit a technical showing to establish
that their proposed facilities will not
result in additional interference to TV
broadcast operations. The Commission
permits broadcasters to agree to
proposed TV facilities that do not
conform to the allotted parameters, even
though they might be affected by
potential new interference. The
Commission will consider granting
applications on the basis of interference
agreements if it finds that such grants
will serve the public interest. These
agreements must be signed by all parties
to the agreement. In addition, the
Commission needs the following
information to enable such public
interest determinations: A list of parties
predicted to receive additional
interference from the proposed facility;
a showing as to why a grant based on
the agreements would serve the public
interest; and technical studies depicting
the additional interference. The
technical showings and interference
agreements will be used by FCC staff to
determine if the public interest would
be served by the grant of the application
and to ensure that the proposed
facilities will not result in additional
interference.

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 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 PRA comments should
be submitted on or before January 14,
2019. 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 contact listed below as soon
as possible.

Cathy Williams, FCC, via email PRA@

Title: Request for Technical Support—

Form No.: N/A—Electronic only.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Individuals or
household; business or other for-profit;
not-for-profit institutions; and state,
local or tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 36,300.
Estimated Time per Response: 8
minutes (0.13 hours).
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement and
recordkeeping requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits.
Total Annual Burden: 5,082 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $609,840.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment:
Possible Impacts.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
In general there is no need for
confidentiality. On a case by case basis,
E:\FR\FM\14NON1.SGM
14NON1
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 220 / Wednesday, November 14, 2018 / Notices
the Commission may be required to
withhold from disclosure certain
information about the location,
character, or ownership of a historic
property, including traditional religious
sites.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will submit this collection as revision to
the currently approved collection. The
Commission is slightly revising the
electronic form to include five
additional data elements, FCC
Registration Number, Call Sign,
Antenna Registration Number, Facility
ID and File Number. Today customers
are asked to include this information as
part of their narrative description and
often neglect to include all the
necessary information to process their
request. This results in customer
services representatives needing to
contact the customers to obtain the
additional details, which slows down
case resolution. We do not anticipate
these changes will impact the customer
burden, since they will only need to
include the information applicable to
their request, and it was previous
requested as part of the description
field. There will be no change to the
estimated average burden (hours and
costs) or the number of respondents.
The FCC’s maintains internet software
used by the public to apply for licenses,
participate in auctions for spectrum,
and maintain license information. In
this mission, FCC has a ‘help desk’ that
answers questions related to these
systems as well as resetting and/or
issuing user passwords for access to
these systems. The form currently is
available on the website https://
esupport.fcc.gov/request.htm under
OMB Control Number 3060–1042. This
form will continue to substantially
decrease public and staff burden since
all the information needed to facilitate
a support request will be submitted in
a standard format but be available to a
wider audience. This eliminates or at
least minimizes the need to follow-up
with the customers to obtain all the
information necessary to respond to
their request. This form also helps
presort requests into previously defined
categories to all staff to respond more
quickly.

Needs and Uses: Telephone
manufacturers seeking a waiver of 47
CFR 68.4(a)(1), which requires that
certain telephones be hearing aid
compatible, must demonstrate that
compliance with the rule is
technologically infeasible or too costly.
Information is used by FCC staff to
determine whether to grant or dismiss
the request. Prior to (and after) the
adoption of FCC 17–135, manufacturers
could request waivers for wireline
telephones connected to the public
switched telephone network. Pursuant
to FCC 17–135, waivers may also be
requested for wireline advanced
communications services telephonic
customer premises equipment (ACS
telephonic CPE), which includes
wireline telephones used for Voice over
internet Protocol (VoIP).
