major change in an authorized AM
broadcast station, to make a satisfactory
showing that objectionable interference
will not result to an authorized AM
station as a condition for its acceptance
if new or modified nighttime operation
by a Class B station is proposed. The
information collection requirements
under 47 CFR 73.37(f) require
applicants seeking facilities
modification that would result in
spacing that fail to meet any of the
separation requirements to include a
showing that an adjustment has been
made to the radiated signal which
effectively results in a site-to-site
radiation that is equivalent to the
radiation of a station with standard
Model I facilities. FCC staff use the data
to ensure that objectionable interference
will not be caused to other authorized
AM stations.

Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
As part of its continuing effort
to reduce paperwork burdens, and as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (PRA), the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC or
Commission) 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
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 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 PRA comments should
be submitted on or before October 26,
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 contact listed below as soon
as possible.
ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to
Nicole Ongele, FCC, via email PRA@

Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a

Respondents: Business or other forprofit, Not-for-profit institutions, State,
local or Tribal governments.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 19,820 respondents and
19,920 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.25
hours–1 hour.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirements; annual
recordkeeping requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. 158 and 159.
Total Annual Burden: 10,030 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No Cost.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
Licensees or regulatees concerned about
disclosure of sensitive information in
any submissions to the Commission
may request confidential treatment
pursuant to 47 CFR 0.459 of the
Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will submit this information collection
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) after this 60-day comment period
in order to obtain the full three-year
clearance from them.
The Commission provides broadcast
licensees and commercial mobile radio
service (CMRS) licensees with a ‘‘trueup’’ opportunity to update or otherwise
correct their assessed fee amounts well
before the actual due date for payment
of regulatory fees. Providing a ‘‘true-up’’
opportunity is necessary because the
data sources that are used to generate
the fee assessments are subject to
change at time of transfer or assignment
of the license. The ‘‘true-up’’ is also an
opportunity for regulatees to correct
inaccuracies. Per 47 CFR 1.1119 and
1.1166, the FCC may, upon a properly
submitted written request, waive or
defer collection of an application fee or
waive, reduce, or defer payment of a
regulatory fee in a specific instance for
good cause shown where such action
would promote the public interest.
When submitting the request, no
specific form is required.
FCC requires that when licensees or
regulates request exemption from
regulatory fees based on their non-profit
status, they must file a one-time
documentation sufficient to establish
their non-profit status. The
documentation may take the form of an
IRS Determination Letter, a state charter
indicating non-profit status, proof of
church affiliation indicating tax exempt
status, etc.

Section 90.527 requires 700 MHz
regional planning regions to submit an
initial plan for use of the 700 MHz
general use spectrum in the
consolidated narrowband segment 769–
775 MHz and 799–805 MHz. Regional
planning committees may modify plans
by written request, which must contain
the full text of the modification and
certification that the modification was
successfully coordinated with adjacent
regions. Regional planning promotes a
fair and open process in developing
allocation assignments by requiring
input from eligible entities in the
allocation decisions and the application
technical review/approval process.
Entities that seek inclusion in the plan
to obtain future licenses are considered
