Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 140 / Tuesday, July 21, 2020 / Notices
Order will result in two types of harm:
(1) Scarcity of satellite capacity for
PSSI’s occasional use due to the
repurposing of the lower portion of the
C-band; and (2) potential interference
and equipment damage from wireless
broadband service in the repurposed
spectrum. They argue that the
Commission violated a statutory
prohibition against auctioning spectrum
‘‘used for the provision of international
or global satellite communications
services,’’ exceeded its license
modification authority under section
316 of the Communications Act, and did
not provide notice that it would modify
PSSI’s right to transmit radio
communications in the 5.925–6.425
GHz band.
The Commission denies the Stay
Request. First, PSSI has not shown that
it will suffer irreparable harm. The harm
that PSSI alleges is not imminent, is
conjectural, and consists of economic
injuries that are not severe enough to be
cognizable as irreparable harm. Second,
PSSI has not shown a likelihood of
success on the merits. The Commission
addressed PSSI’s principal arguments at
length in the 3.7 GHz Report and Order.
The Stay Request does not persuade the
Commission that the PSSI’s arguments
are likely to succeed in court any more
than they did before the agency. Third,
PSSI has not shown that the equities
favor a stay. PSSI has not met its burden
of showing that the public interest
militates in favor of a stay and that
others would not be harmed by a stay.
Moreover, PSSI has not shown that the
public interest would favor grant of the
stay. The Commission’s actions to
repurpose the C-band are an
indispensable element of its overall
strategy of promoting the deployment of
fifth generation (5G) wireless services,
with millions of jobs, and billions of
dollars in economic growth and other
public benefits, at stake. Grant of a stay
pending judicial review would
significantly delay the auction and
transition process and harm multiple
stakeholders, including prospective
bidders and the diverse incumbents
involved in the transition process. The
cost of such delay and disruption could
be enormous. In addition to the public
interest harms, grant of a stay would
undercut the specific goal of U.S.
leadership in 5G and the general goals
of the auction program. Accordingly, we
conclude that a stay of the Order and
Order and Proposed Modification
Pending Judicial Review is not
warranted.

Proposal Under OMB Delegated
Authority To Extend for Three Years,
Without Revision, the Following

Report title: Consumer and
Stakeholder Surveys.
Agency form number: FR 3073.
OMB control number: 7100–0359.
Frequency: As needed.

(medium): 3,000; consumer quantitative

General description of report: The

consumer finance topics. This collection
also gathers quantitative and qualitative
information on current and emerging
community economic issues from
stakeholders (stakeholder surveys).
Examples of stakeholders include
community groups, community
development organizations, nonprofit
service providers, faith-based service
organizations, public sector agencies,
small business owners, health care
organizations, food banks, K–12 public
and private schools, community
colleges, community development

as well as changes in technology,
business practices, and other factors
affecting consumers, stakeholders, and
communities.
Legal authorization and
confidentiality: The FR 3073 is
authorized by sections 2A and 12A of
the Federal Reserve Act (FRA). Section
2A of the FRA requires that the Board
and the Federal Open Market
Committee (FOMC) ‘‘maintain long run
growth of the monetary and credit
aggregates commensurate with the
economy’s long run potential to increase
production, so as to promote effectively
the goals of the maximum employment,
stable prices, and moderate long-term
interest rates.’’ Under section 12A of the
FRA, the FOMC is required to
implement regulations relating to the
open market operations conducted by
Federal Reserve Banks ‘‘with a view to
accommodating commerce and business
and with regard to their bearing upon
the general credit situation of the
country.’’ The information collection
under the FR 3073 is used to fulfill
these obligations.
In addition, the Board is responsible
for implementing and drafting
regulations and interpretations for
various consumer protection laws. The
information obtained from the FR 3073
may be used in support of the Board’s
development and implementation of
regulatory provisions for these laws.
Therefore, depending on the survey
questions asked, the FR 3073 may be
authorized pursuant to the Board’s
authority under one or more of those
consumer protection statutes.
The ability of the Board to maintain
the confidentiality of information
provided by respondents to the FR 3073
surveys will have to be determined on
a case-by-case basis depending on the
type of information provided for a
particular survey. Some of the
information collected on the surveys
may be protected from Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) disclosure by
FOIA exemptions 4 and 6. Exemption 4
protects from disclosure trade secrets
and commercial or financial
information, while Exemption 6 protects
information ‘‘the disclosure of which
would constitute a clearly unwarranted
invasion of personal privacy.’’
