consistent both with that currently
collected in STA applications and the
approach identified in the Next Gen TV
Multicast Licensing FNPRM. As with
broadcast licenses generally,
modifications to this license application
or its accompanying exhibit (with
respect to the primary or multicast
streams) must be preceded by the filing
and approval of a new application.
Changes to the affiliation or content of
a stream, or the elimination of a stream,
however, do not implicate the concerns
raised in this proceeding if they would
not result in the use of additional
capacity and if information about the
change is easily available to the public.
Therefore, in order to streamline this
process for both broadcasters and the
Commission, such changes may be
implemented without prior Commission
approval. They need only be reflected in
a timely update to the Exhibit that the
applicant makes available on its public
website or in the applicant’s online
public inspection file and in an email
notice to the Chief of the Media
Bureau’s Video Division. The new
information collection requirements are
contained in §§ 73.3801(f) and (i),
73.6029(f) and (i), and 74.782(g) and (j)
of the Commission’s rules.

Communications Commission (FCC or

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.
DATES: Written PRA comments should
be submitted on or before November 28,
2023. 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
Cathy Williams, FCC, via email to PRA@
fcc.gov and to Cathy.Williams@fcc.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
additional information about the
information collection, contact Cathy
Williams at (202) 418–2918.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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.
OMB Control Number: 3060–0441.
Title: Section 90.621, Selection and
Assignment of Frequencies and Section
90.693, Grandfathering Provisions for
Incumbent Licensees.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities; Not-for-profit
institutions; and State, Local, or Tribal
Government.
Number of Respondents: 596
respondents; 596 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 1.5
hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. 154(i) and
309(j).
Total Annual Burden: 894 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $74,500.
Needs and Uses: Section 90.621(b)(4)
allows stations to be licensed at
distances less than those prescribed in
the Short-Spacing Separation Table
where applicants ‘‘secure a waiver.’’
Applicants seeking a waiver in these

circumstances are still required to
submit with their application an
interference analysis, based upon any of
the generally-accepted terrain-based
propagation models, demonstrating that
co-channel stations would receive the
same or greater interference protection
than provided in the Short-Spacing
Separation Table.
Section 90.621(b)(5) permits stations
to be located closer than the required
separation, so long as the applicant
provides letters of concurrence
indicating that the applicant and each
co-channel licensee within the specified
separation agree to accept any
interference resulting from the reduced
separation between systems. Applicants
are still required to file such
concurrence letters with the
Commission. Additionally, the
Commission did not eliminate filings
required by provisions such as
international agreements, its
environmental (National Environmental
Protection Act (NEPA)) rules, its
antenna structure registration rules, or
quiet zone notification/filing
procedures.
Section 90.693 requires that 800 MHz
incumbent Specialized Mobile Radio
(SMR) service licensees ‘‘notify the
Commission within 30 days of any
changes in technical parameters or
additional stations constructed that fall
within the short-spacing criteria.’’ It has
been standard practice for incumbents
to notify the Commission of all changes
and additional stations constructed in
cases where such stations are in fact
located less than the required 70 mile
distance separation, and are therefore
technically ‘‘short-spaced,’’ but are in
fact fully compliant with the parameters
of the Commission’s Short-Spacing
Separation Table.
The Commission uses this
information to determine whether to
grant licenses to applicants making
‘‘minor modifications’’ to their systems
which do not satisfy mileage separation
requirements pursuant to the ShortSpacing Separation Table.
