Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 237 / Wednesday, December 9, 2020 / Notices
comply with specific power flux density
(PFD) limits to protect incumbent earth
stations from out-of-band emissions and
blocking and to coordinate frequency
usage with incumbent Telemetry,
Tracking, and Command (TT&C) earth
stations. The 3.7 GHz Report and Order
allows 3.7 GHz Service licensees and
C-Band earth station operators to modify
these PFD limits, but it requires a 3.7
GHz Service licensee that is a party to
such an agreement to maintain a copy
of the agreement in its station files and
disclose it, upon request, to prospective
license assignees, transferees, or
spectrum lessees, and to the
Commission. The Commission also
required any 3.7 GHz Service licensee
with base stations located within the
appropriate coordination distance to
provide upon request an engineering
analysis to the TT&C operator to
demonstrate their ability to comply with
the applicable ¥6 dB I/N criteria.
The information that will be collected
under this new information collection is
designed to ensure that 3.7 GHz Service
licensees operate in a manner that
ensures incumbent C-band operations in
the upper portion of the 3.7–4.2 GHz
band and TT&C operations in the 3700–
3980 MHz band are protected. By
requiring 3.7 GHz Service licensees to
provide a copy of any private agreement
with 3.7 GHz earth station operators to
prospective license assignees,
transferees, or spectrum lessees, and to
the Commission, the Commission
ensures that such agreements continue
to protect incumbent C-band operations
in the event a 3.7 GHz service license
is subsequently transferred to a new
licensee. This collection promotes the
safety of operations in the band and
reduces the risk of harmful interference
to incumbents. It also ensures that
relevant stakeholders have access to
coordination agreements between 3.7
GHz Service licensees and entities
operating earth stations or TT&C
operations.
The information provided by the 3.7
GHz Service licensee to the TT&C
operator ensures the protection of TT&C
operations. The information collection
will facilitate an efficient and safe
transition by requiring 3.7 GHz Service
licensees to demonstrate their ability to
comply with the ¥6 dB I/N criteria,
thereby minimizing the risk of
interference.

Information Collection Being Reviewed
by the Federal Communications
Commission Under Delegated
Authority
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 (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 February 8,
2021. 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@
fcc.gov and to Nicole.Ongele@fcc.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
additional information about the
information collection, contact Nicole
Ongele at (202) 418–2991.

Title: Implementation of the Local
Exchange Carrier Tariff Streamlining
Provisions in the Telecommunications
Act of 1996, CC Docket No. 96–187.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 50 respondents; 1,536
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.25–6
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 collection of
information is contained in sections 1,
4(i), and 204(a)(3) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, 47 U.S.C. 151, 154(i), and
204(a)(3).
Total Annual Burden: 4,054 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $727,800.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission is not requesting that
the respondents submit confidential
information to the FCC. Respondents
may, however, request confidential
treatment for information they believe to
be confidential under 47 CFR 0.459 of
the Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: This collection will
be submitted as an extension to the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) in order to obtain the full threeyear clearance.
In CC Docket 96–187, the Commission
adopted measures to streamline tariff
filing requirements for local exchange
carriers (LECs) pursuant to the
Telecommunications Act of 1996. In
order to achieve a streamlined and
deregulatory environment for LEC tariff
filings, LECs are required to file tariffs
electronically. The information
collected under the electronic filing
program will facilitate access to tariffs
and associated documents by the public,
as well as by state and federal
regulators. Ready electronic access to
carrier tariffs will also facilitate the
compilation of aggregate data for
industry analysis purposes without
imposing new reporting requirements
on carriers.
