including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of

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 PRA comments should
be submitted on or before January 13,
2020. 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.
ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to
Nicole Ongele, FCC, via email PRA@
fcc.gov and to Nicole.ongele@fcc.gov.

additional information about the
information collection, contact Nicole
Ongele, (202) 418–2991.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control No.: 3060–1013.
Title: Mitigation of Orbital Debris.
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities.
Number of Respondents: 10
respondents; 10 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 3
hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. The statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151, 154(i),
301, 303, 308, 309 and 310.
Total Annual Burden: 30 hours.
Annual Cost Burden: $19,250.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
In general, there is no need for
confidentiality with this collection of
information.
Needs and Uses: This collection will
be submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) as an
extension after this 60-day comment
period has ended in order to obtain the
full three-year clearance from OMB.
Orbital debris consists of artificial
objects orbiting the Earth that are not
functional spacecraft. It consists of a
wide range of non-functioning manmade objects that have been placed in

the Earth’s orbit, both accidentally and
on purpose. Orbital debris consists of
small objects such as paint flakes,
discarded lens caps, ejected bolts and
pieces of debris from exploded
spacecraft and rocket bodies. Since
human activity in space began, there has
been a steady growth in the number and
total mass of orbital debris. Once
created, debris remains in orbit
indefinitely, absent other forces. Growth
in the orbital debris population may
limit the usefulness of space for
communications and other uses in the
future by raising the costs and lowering
the reliability of space based systems.
Furthermore, the effects of collisions
involving orbital debris can be
catastrophic and may cause significant
damage to functional spacecraft or to
persons or property on the surface of the
Earth, if the debris re-enters the Earth’s
atmosphere in an uncontrolled manner.
The information collection
requirements accounted for in this
collection are necessary to mitigate the
potential harmful effects of orbital
debris accumulation. Without such
information collection requirements, the
growth in the orbital debris population
may limit the usefulness of space for
communications and other uses in the
future by raising the costs and lowering
the reliability of experimental and
amateur systems. Furthermore, the
effects of collisions involving orbital
debris can be catastrophic and may
cause significant damage to functional
spacecraft or to persons or property on
the surface of the Earth, if the debris reenters the Earth’s atmosphere in an
uncontrolled manner.

Total Annual Burden: 1,946,610
hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission will no longer treat as
confidential service providers’
minimum advertised or expected speed
data for mobile broadband services.
Thus, provider-specific coverage data
will be publicly released for all
subsequent Form 477 filings. This
action is necessary to ensure that
consumers can easily use the
information that is disclosed to the
public, including minimum advertised
or expected speed data, because such
information is only beneficial if
consumers know where service coverage
is available.
Needs and Uses: After the 60-day
comment period expires, the
Commission will submit the revised
information collection to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
obtain a full three-year clearance.
The revisions to the information
collection are necessitated by a Report
and Order in WC Docket Nos. 19–195
and 11–10, FCC 19–79, adopted on
August 1, 2019. In this Order, the
Commission makes targeted changes to
the existing Form 477 data collection to
reduce reporting burdens for all filers
and incorporate new technologies.
The Order adopts the 5G–NR (New
Radio) technology standards developed
by the 3rd Generation Partnership
Project (3GPP) with Release 15 and
requires providers to submit 5G
deployment data that meet the
specifications of Release 15 (or any
successor release that may be adopted
by the Commission’s Bureaus). The
Order also requires mobile providers to
submit broadband and voice subscriber
data at the census-tract level based on
the subscriber’s place of primary use for
postpaid subscribers and based on the
subscriber’s telephone number for
prepaid and resold subscribers. These
changes are necessary because the
deployment data collected on Form 477
are no longer sufficient for targeting
universal service funds. The actions to
improve the Form 477 data collection
are designed to increase the usefulness
of the information to the Commission,
Congress, the industry, and the public.
The Order reduces the burden on
broadband providers by removing the
requirement that facilities-based
providers submit separate coverage
maps depicting their broadband
network coverage areas for each
transmission technology and each
frequency band. It also modifies the
requirement that mobile broadband
