Those authorizations will be terminated in IBFS, i.e., the IBFS records for those antennas will be shown with a terminated status. Such terminated earth stations will also be removed from the incumbent earth station list and will not be entitled to protection from interference from the network deployments of new wireless licenses or be eligible for reimbursement of any transition costs, including the cost of any filters, that those earth stations may decide to incur. Unresponsive earth station operators (and associated antennas). Based on their failure to respond to multiple contact attempts by RSM and the incumbent satellite operators, we hereby presume that the incumbent earth station antennas identified in Attachment B as associated with unresponsive earth station operators have ceased operations. Section 25.161(c) of the Commission’s rules provide that an earth station authorization is automatically terminated if the station is not operational for more than 90 days.8 To confirm whether or not these unresponsive station operators have discontinued the operation of these earth station antennas, we direct the operators of earth stations on the list whose facilities continue to be operational to submit a notification, by no later than 90 days after release of this Public Notice (i.e., no later than April 19, 2021), affirming that these facilities remain operational and that they intend to participate in the C-band transition. Operators should submit this notification to the Bureau in ECFS IB Docket No. 20–205. In providing this response, an earth station operator affirming that the identified earth station antennas remain operational should identify the satellite from which each antenna is receiving service. Commission staff will forward all affirmations of continued operation to the Relocation Coordinator and/or relevant satellite operator(s), who will contact affirming earth station operators directly to initiate the transition. An earth station operator may contact Bureau staff at IBFSINFO@fcc.gov if it wants advice on how to make a filing in ECFS. Earth station operators that do not respond by April 19, 2021 to affirm the continued operation of the identified 8 47 CFR 25.161(c).

The term ‘‘collection of information’’ is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and includes agency requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires federal agencies to publish a 30-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension or reinstatement of an existing collection of information, before submitting the collection to OMB for approval.

These waivers ensure that providers who provide such services in good faith can be reimbursed and exempted from sanctions. During emergencies, such as the current COVID–19 public health emergency (PHE), CMS must be able to apply program waivers and flexibilities under section 1135 of the Social Security Act, in a timely manner to respond quickly to unfolding events.
