Information Collection Being Submitted for Review and Approval to 
the Office of Management and Budget

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, the 
Federal Communications Commission (FCC or the Commission) invites the 
general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to 
comment on the following information collection. Comments are requested 
concerning: Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary 
for the proper performance of the functions of the Commission, 
including whether the information shall have practical utility; the 
accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to enhance the 
quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on the 
respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology; and ways to further reduce the 
information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer 
than 25 employees. The Commission 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 comments should be submitted on or before January 2, 
2020. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As part of its continuing effort to reduce 
paperwork burdens, and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) 
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission 
(FCC or the Commission) invites the general public and other Federal 
agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the following 
information collection.
    Comments are requested concerning: Whether the proposed collection 
of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions 
of the Commission, including whether the information shall have 
practical utility; the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; 
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information 
collected; ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information 
on the respondents, including the use of automated collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology; and ways to 
further reduce the information collection burden on small business

    Title: Incumbent 39 GHz Licensee Payment Instruction.
    Form Number: FCC Form 1877.
    Type of Review: New information collection.
    Respondents: Individuals or households and Business or other for-
profit.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 10 respondents; 10 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 5 hours.
    Frequency of Response: One-time reporting requirement.

[[Page 66186]]

    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.

Federal Communications Commission.
