control number.
National Environmental Policy Act
This rule does not constitute a major
Federal action significantly affecting the
quality of the human environment. A
detailed statement under the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA) is not required because the rule
is covered by a categorical exclusion.
We have determined the rule is
categorically excluded under 43 CFR
46.210(i) because it is administrative,
legal, and technical in nature. We also
have determined the rule does not
involve any of the extraordinary
circumstances listed in 43 CFR 46.215
that would require further analysis
under NEPA.
Effects on the Energy Supply (Executive
Order 13211)
This rule is not a significant energy

RM–11719 and RM–11722, which
revises the text to § 90.175(e) of the
Commission’s rules. The updated rule
section requires applicants seeking to
license newly available 12.5 kHz

of the Communications Act of 1934.
Total Annual Burden: 700 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
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

Needs and Uses: On October 22, 2018,
the Commission released a Report and
Order and Order in WP Docket No. 15–
32, RM–11572, WP Docket No. 16–261,
RM–11719 and RM–11722WP Docket
No. 15–32 which adds new rule
§ 90.621(d)(4) to the Commission’s
rules. The new rule section requires
applicants seeking to license newly
available 12.5 kHz bandwidth
interstitial channels in the 809–817
MHz/854–862 MHz segment of the 800
MHz band (800 MHz Mid-Band) 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.

SUMMARY:
Final Rules
A. Background
For the reasons discussed in the
preamble, the Federal Communications
Commission amends 47 CFR part 90 as
follows.
The Board was established within
GSA by section 847 of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2006, Public Law 109–163. Board
members are administrative judges

appointed by the Administrator of
General Services under 41 U.S.C.
7105(b)(2). The FAA Reauthorization
Act of 2018, Public Law 115–254,
amended the Robert T. Stafford Disaster
Relief and Emergency Assistance Act
(Stafford Act), 42 U.S.C. 5189a(d), to
authorize the Board to arbitrate certain
disputes between FEMA and applicants
for public assistance disaster grants.
The Board published in the Federal
Register at 84 FR 7861, March 5, 2019,
proposed rules of procedure for such
arbitration. The notice invited
comments on the proposed rules and
announced the Board’s intention to
promulgate final rules after reviewing
and considering comments.
The comment period closed on May 6,
2019. The Board received one set of
comments. The Board has considered
those comments and revised the
proposed rules as explained in part B
below. The Board now promulgates
final rules of procedure. These rules
facilitate the efficient assembly of a
record that will allow each arbitration
panel to issue a just and reasoned
decision resolving the dispute before it
at the speedy pace that parties expect in
arbitration.
B. Comments and Changes
FEMA was the only commenter.
FEMA suggested specific changes to five
proposed rules (Rules 603, 604, 606,
608, and 612). The Board addresses the
comments as follows.
Comment: In proposed Rule 603,
FEMA suggested replacing the words
‘‘final agency action’’ with ‘‘final agency
determination’’ and adding the words
‘‘on an applicant’s eligibility for public
assistance’’ to the end of the rule after
the word ‘‘decision.’’
Response: The Board does not adopt
these suggestions. ‘‘Agency action’’ is a
term of art for an administrative
decision that is reviewable in court
under the Administrative Procedure
Act, 5 U.S.C. 702. The statement in Rule
603 that covered disputes ‘‘come to the
Board prior to final agency action’’ is
correct regardless of the terminology
that FEMA may use for such actions.
Adding words to the end of the rule also
would not enhance clarity, as the first
sentence already specifies ‘‘public
assistance eligibility and repayment
disputes’’ as the subject matter of
arbitration.
Comment: In proposed Rule 604,
FEMA suggested incorporating ‘‘nearly
all of the content of 44 CFR 206.209(e)–
(m),’’ FEMA’s regulation for arbitration
of public assistance disputes involving
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, excluding
paragraphs (e)(2) and (h)(3) of the FEMA
regulation. FEMA identified no

Synopsis
As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
3507), the FCC is notifying the public that it received final OMB
approval on December 3, 2018, for the information collection
requirement contained in the modification to Sec. 90.175(e), and it
received final OMB approval on April 15, 2019 for the information
collection requirements contained in the
[[Page 29084]]
modifications to Sec. Sec. 90.175(b) and 90.621(d)(4).
Under 5 CFR part 1320, an agency may not conduct or sponsor a
collection of information unless it displays a current, valid OMB
Control Number.
No person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply
with a collection of information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act
that does not display a current, valid OMB Control Number. The OMB
Control Number for the information collection requirement in Sec.
90.175(b) is 3060-0984. The OMB Control Number for the information
collection requirement in Sec. 90.175(e) is 3060-0798. The OMB Control
Number for the information collection requirement in Sec. 90.621(d)(4)
is 3060-1261.
The foregoing notice is required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, Public Law 104-13, October 1, 1995, and 44 U.S.C. 3507.

Needs and Uses: On October 22, 2018, the Commission released a
Report and Order and Order in WP Docket No. 15-32, RM-11572, WP Docket
No. 16-261, RM-11719 and RM-11722, which revises the text to Sec.
90.175(e) of the Commission's rules. The updated rule section requires
applicants seeking to license newly available 12.5 kHz bandwidth
interstitial channels in the 809-817 MHz/854-862 MHz segment of the 800
MHz band (800 MHz Mid-Band) to include a showing of frequency
coordination with their application for license. Applicants include a
showing of frequency coordination by completing Schedule H of FCC Form
601. Applicants indicate on Schedule H whether their application was
successfully coordinated before it was filed with the Commission and,
if so, which Commission-approved frequency coordinator performed the
coordination. The Commission now has approval under OMB Control Number
3060-0798 to collect frequency coordination information from applicants
seeking to license the newly available 12.5 kHz bandwidth interstitial
channels in the 800 MHz Mid-Band.
OMB Control Number: 3060-0984.
OMB Approval Date: April 15, 2019.
OMB Expiration Date: April 30, 2022.
Title: 90.175(b)(1), Frequency Coordinator Requirements,
Industrial/Business Pool frequencies.

Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 154(i), 161, 301, 302(a), 303(g),
303(r), 309, 332(c)(7), 336 and 337.
Total Annual Burden: 2,700 hours.

Needs and Uses: On October 22, 2018, the Commission issued a Report
and Order and Order, FCC 18-143, in WP Docket No. 15-32, RM-11572, WP
Docket No. 16-261, RM-11719 and RM-11722 (800/PLMR Access Order), in
which it revised certain rules to require applicants for channels
currently designated for central station alarm use to obtain the
concurrence of the central station alarm frequency coordinator in order
to use the channels for uses other than central station alarm
operations. This requirement is similar to existing requirements
pertaining to certain other channels. The Report and Order and Order
did not revise any of the information collection requirements that are
contained in this collection but rather added additional frequencies to
the list. Therefore, this essentially is adding an additional 200
respondents to this collection.
OMB Control Number: 3060-1261.
OMB Approval Date: April 15, 2019.
OMB Expiration Date: April 30, 2022.
Title: Creation of Interstitial 12.5 Kilohertz Channels in the 800
MHz Band Between 809-817/854-862 MHz.
Form Number: N/A.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit; 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.
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
[[Page 29085]]
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.
Privacy Act: No impact(s).
Needs and Uses: On October 22, 2018, the Commission released a
Report and Order and Order in WP Docket No. 15-32, RM-11572, WP Docket
No. 16-261, RM-11719 and RM-11722WP Docket No. 15-32 which adds new
rule Sec. 90.621(d)(4) to the Commission's rules. The new rule section
requires applicants seeking to license newly available 12.5 kHz
bandwidth interstitial channels in the 809-817 MHz/854-862 MHz segment
of the 800 MHz band (800 MHz Mid-Band) 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.
