under this information collection is
used by the Commission to determine
whether applicants are eligible to
participate in auctions for Universal
Service Fund support. The reports of
prohibited communications made or
received by an auction applicant
required by section 1.21002 of the
Commission’s rules that are collected
under this information collection enable
the Commission to ensure that no
bidder gains an unfair advantage over
other bidders in its auctions for
universal service support and thus
enhance the competitiveness and
fairness of Commission’s auctions for
universal service support.

broadband service, both fixed and
mobile, are available to Americans
throughout the nation. Connect America
Fund et al., Order and Further Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking, FCC 11–161
(USF/ICC Transformation Order). In the
USF/ICC Transformation Order, the
Commission, among other things,
created (1) the Connect America Fund
(CAF), to help make broadband
available to homes, businesses, and
community anchor institutions in areas
that do not, or would not otherwise,
have broadband, (2) the Mobility Fund,
to ensure the availability of mobile
broadband networks in areas where a
private-sector business case, (3) the
Remote Areas Fund (RAF), to ensure
that Americans living in the most
remote areas in the nation, where the
cost of deploying traditional terrestrial
broadband networks is extremely high,
can obtain affordable access through
alternative technology platforms,
including satellite and unlicensed
wireless services. The USF/ICC
Transformation Order directed that
support under CAF Phase II, the
Mobility Fund, and the RAF be awarded
by competitive bidding. The
Commission adopted rules to
implement the reforms it adopted in the
USF/ICC Transformation Order,
including rules in Part 1, Subpart AA of
the Commission’s rules governing
competitive bidding for universal
service support generally. See 47 CFR
1.21001–1.21004.
On October 27, 2020, the Commission
adopted a Report and Order in which it,
among other things, amended its
existing Part 1, Subpart AA general
universal service competitive bidding
rules to codify policies and procedures
applicable to the universal service
auction application process that have
been adopted in its recent universal
service auctions, better align provisions
in the universal service competitive
bidding rules with like provisions in the
Commission’s spectrum auction rules,
and make other updates for consistency,
clarification, and other purposes that
would apply in all universal service
auctions. Establishing a 5G Fund for
Rural America, Report and Order, FCC
20–150 (5G Fund Report and Order).
The amended Part 1, Subpart AA rules
adopted in the 5G Fund Report and
Order apply to applicants seeking to
participate in future Commission
auctions for universal service support.

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

Number of Respondents: 4
respondents; 4 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 12
hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement and Third-party
disclosure requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. The
Commission has statutory authority for
the information collection requirements
under 47 U.S.C. 151, 152, 154(i), 154(j),
155(c), 201, 302, 303, 304, 307(e), 309,
and 316.
Total Annual Burden: 48 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $2,200.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality
pertaining to the information collection
requirements in this collection.
Needs and Uses: On March 3, 2020,
the Commission released a Report and
Order and Order of Proposed
Modification titled, ‘‘In the Matter of
Expanding Flexible Use of the 3.7 to 4.2
GHz,’’ GN Docket Number 18–122 (FCC
20–22). This rulemaking, which is
under the purview of the Commission’s
Wireless Telecommunications Bureau,
is hereinafter referred to as the 3.7 GHz
Report and Order.
The Commission believes that C-band
spectrum for terrestrial wireless uses
will play a significant role in bringing
next-generation services like 5G to the
American public and assuring American
leadership in the 5G ecosystem. The
agency took action to make this valuable
spectrum resource available for new
terrestrial wireless uses as quickly as
possible, while also preserving the
continued operation of existing Fixed
Satellite Services (FSS) available during
and after the transition.
In the 3.7 GHz Report and Order, the
Commission concluded that a public
auction of the lower 280 megahertz of
the C-band will best carry out our goals,
and the agency will add a mobile
allocation to the 3.7–4.0 GHz band so
that next-generation services such as 5G
can use the band. Relying on the
Emerging Technologies framework, the
Commission adopted a process to
relocate FSS operations into the upper
200 megahertz of the band, while fully
reimbursing existing operators for the
costs of this relocation and offering
accelerated relocation payments to
encourage a speedy transition. The
Commission also adopted service and
technical rules for overlay licensees in
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:27 Nov 24, 2020
Jkt 253001
the 280 megahertz of spectrum
designated for transition to flexible use.
Among other information collection
requirements in the 3.7 GHz Report and
Order, the Commission has adopted
several requirements, described in the
text, related to the protection of TT&C
earth stations and coordination with 3.7
GHz Service licensees. In a section of
the 3.7 GHz Report and Order titled
‘‘Adjacent Channel Protection Criteria’’
the Commission sets out the following
requirements:
Pursuant to paragraph 388 of the 3.7
GHz Report and Order, the Commission
requires that the TT&C operators make
available certain pertinent technical
information about their systems upon
request by licensees in the 3.7 GHz
Service to ensure the protection of
TT&C operations. In addition, paragraph
389 of the 3.7 GHz Report and Order
includes the requirement that, in the
event of a claim by a TT&C earth station
operating in 4.0–4.2 GHz of harmful
interference by a 3.7 GHZ operator, the
earth station operator must demonstrate
that that have installed a filter that
complies with the mask requirement
prescribed by the Commission. This
requirement will facilitate an efficient
and safe transition by requiring earth
station operators to demonstrate their
compliance with the mask
requirements, thereby minimizing the
risk of interference.
