In its 2016 Spectrum Frontiers Report
and Order (FCC 16–89), the Commission
adopted Upper Microwave Flexible Use
Service (UMFUS) rules for the 28 GHz,
Upper 37 GHz, and 39 GHz bands to
make available millimeter wave
spectrum for 5G. In its 2017 Spectrum
Frontiers Second Report and Order (FCC
17–152), the Commission expanded the
UMFUS rules to cover the 24 GHz and
47 GHz bands. In its December 2018
Fourth Report and Order (FCC 18–180),
the Commission established an
incentive auction that promotes the
flexible-use wireless service rules that
the Commission has adopted for the
Upper 37 GHz, 39 GHz, and 47 GHz
bands and, among other things, adopted
modified band plans for these bands.
There are currently a number of
existing licenses in the 39 GHz band
that do not fit geographically into the
Commission’s new 39 GHz band plan,
resulting in ‘‘encumbered’’ licenses in
this band. The Commission will use the
incentive auction process to resolve the
difficulties presented by these
encumbrances and the need for existing
39 GHz licenses to be transitioned
efficiently to the new band plan and
possibly to new service areas. Pursuant
to the reconfiguration process adopted
in the Fourth Report and Order, prior to
the incentive auction, the Commission
will offer each incumbent 39 GHz
licensee a reconfiguration of its existing
39 GHz licenses that conforms more
closely with the Commission’s new
band plan and service areas. Each
incumbent can then choose to commit
to (1) have its existing 39 GHz licenses
modified based on the Commission’s
reconfiguration proposal; or (2) have its
licenses modified based on an
alternative reconfiguration proposed by
the incumbent (provided it satisfies
certain specified conditions); or (3)
relinquish its existing spectrum usage
rights in exchange for an incentive
payment. An incumbent 39 GHz
licensee will submit contact and related
information and certifications on FCC
Form 175–A which will be used by the
Commission to enable the incumbent
licensee to make its commitment to
either accept modification of its 39 GHz
spectrum holdings (either as proposed
by the Commission or an acceptable
alternate) or to relinquish its existing
spectrum usage rights in exchange for
an incentive payment.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS
COMMISSION
[OMB 3060–XXXX]
Information Collection Being
Submitted for Review and Approval to
the Office of Management and Budget
Federal Communications
Commission.
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 (PRA) of 1995, the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC or
the Commission) invites the general
public and other Federal agencies to
take this opportunity to comment on the
following information collection.
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 Commission 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 March 18, 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As part of
its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork burdens, and as required by
the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC or
the Commission) invites the general
public and other Federal agencies to
take this opportunity to comment on the
following information collection.
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

OMB Control Number: 3060–XXXX.
Title: Creation of Interstitial 12.5
Kilohertz Channels in the 800 MHz
Band Between 809–817/854–862 MHz.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: New information
collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit; Not-for-profit institutions; State,
Local or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 700 respondents, 350
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 2
hours.
Frequency of Response: One-time
reporting requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this collection is contained
in 47 U.S.C. 151, 154, 301, 303, and 332
of the Communications Act of 1934.
Total Annual Burden: 700 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No Cost.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for applicants filing
applications to license channels in the
809–817/854–862 MHz band segment
(800 MHz Mid-Band) to include
confidential information with their
application. Nonetheless, there is a need
for confidentiality with respect to all
applications filed with the Commission
through its Universal Licensing System
(ULS). Although ULS stores all
information pertaining to the individual
license via an FCC Registration Number
(FRN), confidential information is
accessible only by persons or entities
that hold the password for each account,
and the Commission’s licensing staff.
Information on private land mobile
radio licensees is maintained in the
Commission’s system of records, FCC/
WTB–1, ‘‘Wireless Services Licensing
Records.’’ The licensee records will be
publicly available and routinely used in
accordance with subsection (b) of the
Privacy Act. TIN Numbers and material
which is afforded confidential treatment
pursuant to a request made under 47
CFR 0.459 will not be available for
Public inspection. Any personally
identifiable information (PII) that
individual applicants provide is covered
by a system of records, FCC/WTB–1,
‘‘Wireless Services Licensing Records,’’
and these and all other records may be
disclosed pursuant to the Routine Uses
as stated in this system of records
notice.
Needs and Uses: This collection will
be submitted as a new collection after
this 60-day comment period to the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) in order to obtain the full threeyear clearance. Section 90.621(d)(4)
adopted in the Commission’s Report
and Order FCC 18–143 requires an
applicant to include a letter of
concurrence from an incumbent
licensee if the applicant files an
application which causes contour
overlap under a forward analysis or
receives contour overlap under a
reciprocal analysis when the applicant
seeks to license channels in the 800
MHz Mid-Band. In the case of the
forward analysis, the incumbent
licensee must agree in its concurrence
letter to accept any interference that
occurs as a result of the contour overlap.
In the case of the reciprocal analysis, the
incumbent licensee must state in its
concurrence letter that it does not object
to the applicant receiving contour
overlap from the incumbent’s facility.
The purpose of requiring applicants to
obtain letters of concurrence if their
application causes contour overlap
under a forward analysis or receives
contour overlap under a reciprocal
analysis is to ensure incumbents in the
800 MHz Mid-Band are aware of the
contour overlap before an application is
granted.
