Needs and Uses: The FCC adopted an Order on Reconsideration and Second Report and Order, FCC 16–55, that amends rules established in the First Report and Order, FCC 15–47, for commercial use of 150 megahertz in the 3550–3700 MHz (3.5 GHz) band and a new Citizens Broadband Radio Service, on April 28, 2016, published at 81 FR 49023 (July 26, 2016). The rule changes and information requirements contained in the First Report and Order are also approved under this Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number and have not changed since they were last approved by OMB. The Commission also received approval from OMB for the information collection requirements contained in FCC 16–55. The amendments contained in the Second Report and Order create additional capacity for wireless broadband by adopting a new approach to spectrum management to facilitate more intensive spectrum sharing between commercial and federal users and among multiple tiers of commercial users. The Spectrum Access System (SAS) will use the information to authorize and coordinate spectrum use for Citizen Broadband Radio Service Devices (CBSDs). The Commission will use the information to coordinate among the spectrum tiers and determine Protection Areas for Priority Access Licensees (PALs). The following is a description of the information collection requirements for is approved under this collection: Section 96.25(c)(1)(i) requires PALs to inform the SAS if a CBSD is no longer in use. Section 96.25(c)(2)(i) creates a default protection contour for any CBSD at the VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:47 Nov 13, 2019 Jkt 250001 outer limit of the PAL Protection Area, but allows a PAL to self-report a contour smaller than that established by the SAS. These rules which contain information collection requirements are designed to provide for flexible use of this spectrum, while managing three tiers of users in the band, and create a low-cost entry point for a wide array of users. The rules will encourage innovation and investment in mobile broadband use in this spectrum while protecting incumbent users. Without this information, the Commission would not be able to carry out its statutory responsibilities. Federal Communications Commission. Marlene Dortch, Secretary, Office of the Secretary.
