regulated facilities in these proposed
general permits under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1980, 44 U.S.C. 501, et
seq. The information collection
requirements of these permits have
already been approved by the OMB in
submissions made for the NPDES permit
program under the provisions of the
Clean Water Act.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act:
Section 201 of the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act (UMRA), Public Law 104–4,
generally requires federal agencies to
assess the effects of their ‘‘regulatory
actions’’ defined to be the same as
‘‘rules’’ subject to the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (RFA) on tribal, state,
local governments and the private
sector. Since the permit proposed is an
adjudication, it is not subject to the RFA
and is therefore not subject to the
requirements of the UMRA.

areas, including annual reporting and
record retention requirements for MF–I

complementary one-time Tribal
Mobility Fund Phase I (TMF–I) to award

universal service funding to Tribal
Areas, including Alaska, to accelerate
mobile broadband availability in these
remote and underserved areas. In its

Order, including the deadline by which
MF–I and TMF–I support recipients

submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) to obtain the full
three-year clearance from OMB.
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.

inspection, the applicant may request confidential treatment pursuant
to 47 CFR 0.459.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
Needs and Uses: A request for extension of this information
collection (no change in requirements) will be submitted to the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) after this 60-day comment period in
order to obtain the full three year clearance from OMB. The Commission
uses the information contained in this collection to ensure that each
winning bidder is meeting its obligations for receiving Mobility Fund
Phase I (MF-I) support. In its November 2011 USF/ICC Transformation
Order (FCC 11-161), the Commission comprehensively reformed and
modernized the high-cost program within the universal service fund and,
among other things, established the Mobility Fund. The Commission
adopted rules in the USF/ICC Transformation Order for MF-I, which
provided up to $300 million in one-time universal service support
payments to immediately accelerate deployment of mobile broadband
services in unserved areas, including annual reporting and record
retention requirements for MF-I support recipients. The Commission also
established a separate and complementary one-time Tribal Mobility Fund
Phase I (TMF-I) to award up to $50 million in additional universal
service funding to Tribal Areas, including Alaska, to accelerate mobile
broadband availability in these remote and underserved areas. In its
May 2012 Third Order on Reconsideration (FCC 12-52), the Commission
revised certain rules adopted in the USF/ICC Transformation Order,
including the deadline by which MF-I and TMF-I support recipients must
file their annual reports pursuant to 47 CFR 54.1009(a). The
information being collected under this information collection will be
used by the Commission to ensure that each MF-I support recipient is
meeting the public interest obligations associated with receiving such
support.

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.
