Download as PDF 66186 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 232 / Tuesday, December 3, 2019 / Notices Total Annual Burden: 50 hours. Total Annual Cost: No Cost. Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No Impact(s). Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The information collection includes information identifying bank accounts and providing account and routing numbers to access those accounts. FCC considers that information to be records not routinely available for public inspection under 47 CFR 0.457, and exempt from disclosure under FOIA exemption 4 (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4)). Needs and Uses: The Commission is requesting Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for a new information collection as described below. The Commission is conducting an auction for 39 GHz spectrum pursuant to 47 U.S.C. 309(j)(8)(G) in which it is offering incumbent licensees a share of auction proceeds as an incentive to relinquish voluntarily previously granted spectrum usage rights in order to permit the assignment of new initial licenses subject to flexible use rules. The information in the form is needed to make payments of the respective shares of auction proceeds. The information required for a licensee with respect to payments in incentive auctions is covered under 47 CFR 1.2115(b). The information collection for which we are requesting approval is necessary for incumbent licensees to instruct the Commission on how to pay the approved amounts due to them, and for the payees to make certifications that reduce the risk of waste, fraud, abuse and improper payments.

Synopsis

    On November 15, 2019, NCTA--The Internet & Television Association 
(NCTA) filed a Petition for Clarification of the Media Bureau's Order 
Denying Motion for Stay of the Commission's Third Report and Order \1\ 
in the above-referenced proceeding. In its Petition, NCTA requests that 
the Bureau clarify ``certain language in [p]aragraph 21 of the Stay 
Denial Order [that] creates the potential for confusion and the 
appearance of a conflict with the Third Report and Order.'' In 
particular, NCTA asserts that the Bureau's statements in paragraph 21 
that ``[t]he rules in the [Third Report and Order] did not supersede 
provisions in existing franchise agreements on their effective date'' 
and ``[i]f negotiations fail, the terms in the franchise remain in 
effect unless and until a cable operator challenges those terms and 
proves that the terms violate the [Third Report and Order's] 
requirements'' could be interpreted in a way that ``conflict[s] with 
the Third Report and Order's plain directives and require[s] procedures 
not mandated by the Commission.'' NCTA asks that the Bureau address 
this apparent conflict with the Third Report and Order by removing the 
relevant statements from the Stay Denial Order.
