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.
DATES: Written comments should be
submitted on or before September 8,
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 contacts below as soon as
possible.
ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to
Cathy Williams, FCC, via email PRA@
fcc.gov and to Cathy.Williams@fcc.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
additional information about the
information collection, contact Cathy
Williams at (202) 418–2918.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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.
As part of its continuing effort to
reduce paperwork burdens, and as
required by the PRA of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
3501–3520), the FCC invites the general
public and other Federal agencies to
take this opportunity to comment on the
following information collections.
Comments are requested concerning:
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the

Title: Allocation and Service Rules for
the 71–76 GHz, 81–86 GHz, and 92–95
GHz Bands.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities; not-for-profit institutions;
and State, local, or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 852
respondents; 11,342 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.25 to
1.5 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement, recordkeeping
requirement, and third-party disclosure
requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151, 154(i),
303(f) and (r), 309, 316, and 332 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended.
Total Annual Burden: 12,039 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $200,000.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality. The
Commission has not granted assurances
of confidentially to those parties
submitting the information. In those
cases where a respondent believes
information requires confidentiality, the
respondent can request confidential
treatment and the Commission will
afford such confidentiality for 20 days,
after which the information will be
available to the public.
Needs and Uses: The Commission is
seeking an extension of this information
collection in order to obtain the full
three-year approval from OMB. There
are no program changes to the reporting,
recordkeeping and/or third-party
disclosure requirements, but we are
revising estimates based on the
reduction of database managers, and the
increase of renewals of the nationwide
licensees. The recordkeeping, reporting,
and third-party disclosure requirements
will be used by the Commission to
verify licensee compliance with the
Commission rules and regulations, and
to ensure that licensees continue to
fulfill their statutory responsibilities in
accordance with the Communications
Act of 1934. The Commission’s rules
promote the private sector development
and use of 71–76 GHz, 81–86 GHz, and
92–95 GHz bands (70/80/90 GHz bands).
Such information has been used in the
past and will continue to be used to
minimize interference, verify that
applicants are legally and technically
qualified to hold license, and to
determine compliance with Commission
rules.

Estimated Time per Response: 0.5
hours to 10 hours (4.5 hours average).
Frequency of Response: On occasion

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission will work with
respondents to ensure that their
concerns regarding the confidentiality of
any proprietary or public safetysensitive information are resolved in a
manner consistent with the
Commission’s rules. See 47 CFR 0.459.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will submit this expiring information
collection to the Office of Management
Budget (OMB) after this 60 day
comment period in order to obtain the
full three year clearance from them. The
information sought will assist 800 MHz
licensees in preventing or resolving
interference and enable the Commission
to implement its rebanding program.
Under that program, certain licensees
are being relocated to new frequencies
in the 800 MHz band, with all rebanding
costs paid by T-Mobile. The
Commission’s overarching objective in
this proceeding is to eliminate
interference to public safety
communications. As demonstrated in
the Commission’s 2020 Report and
Order in this rulemaking proceeding
(FCC 20–61), the Commission is actively
accelerating the conclusion of the 800
MHz rebanding program.
