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 FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of 
information unless it displays a currently valid 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 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before April 6, 
2020. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find

resolved the remaining technical issues affecting the operation of 600 
MHz wireless licenses and broadcast television stations in areas where 
they operate on the same or adjacent channels in geographic proximity. 
Specifically, the Commission adopted a rule requiring wireless 
licensees to conduct an interference study prior to deploying or 
operating a wireless base station within a secified distance of a 
broadcast television station that is co-channel or adjacent channel to 
their spectrum. A wireless licensee is required to provide this 
interference study to the Commission upon request or to the broadcast 
television station when there is an interference complaint.
