information is necessary for the proper

the accuracy of the Commission’s
burden estimate; ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the

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 April 16,
2024. 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, (202) 418–2991.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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.
OMB Control Number: 3060–1257.
Title: New Procedure for Non-Federal
Public Safety Entities to License Federal
Government Interoperability Channels.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Not-for-profit
institutions and State, local, or tribal
government.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 40,599 respondents; 40,599
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.25
hours.
Frequency of Response: One-time
reporting requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Section 90.25
adopted in Order DA 18–282, requires
any non-federal public safety entity
seeking to license mobile and portable
units on the Federal Interoperability
Channels to obtain written concurrence
from its Statewide Interoperability
Coordinator (SWIC) or a state appointed
official and include such written
concurrence with its application for
license. A non-federal public safety
entity may communicate on designated
Federal Interoperability Channels for
joint federal/non-federal operations,
provided it first obtains a license from
the Commission authorizing use of the
channels. Statutory authority for these
collections are contained in 47 U.S.C.

Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Needs and Uses: This collection will
be submitted as an extension of a
currently collection after this 60-day
comment period to the Office of

to obtain the full three-year clearance.
The purpose of requiring a non-federal
public safety entity to obtain written
consent from its SWIC or state
appointed official before
communicating with federal
government agencies on the Federal
Interoperability Channels is to ensure
that the non-federal public safety entity
operates in accordance with the rules
and procedures governing use of the
federal interoperability channels and
does not cause inadvertent interference
during emergencies. Commission staff
will use the written concurrence from
the SWIC or state appointed official to
determine if an applicant’s proposed
operation on the Federal
Interoperability Channels conforms to
the terms of an agreement signed by the
SWIC or state appointed official with a
federal user with a valid assignment
from the National Telecommunications
and Information Administration (NTIA)
which has jurisdiction over the
channels.

General Description of Collection: The
1975 Amendments to the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 established a
comprehensive framework for the
regulation of the activities of municipal
securities dealers. Under Section 15B(a)
of the Securities Exchange Act,
municipal securities dealers which are
banks, or separately identifiable
departments or divisions of banks
engaging in municipal securities
activities, are required to be registered
with the Securities and Exchange
Commission in accordance with such
rules as the Municipal Securities
Rulemaking Board (MSRB), a
rulemaking authority established by the
1975 Amendments, may prescribe as
necessary or appropriate in the public
interest or for the protection of
investors. One of the areas in which the
Act directed the MSRB to promulgate
rules is the qualifications of persons
associated with municipal securities
dealers as municipal securities
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:24 Feb 15, 2024
Jkt 262001
principals and municipal securities
representatives. The MSRB Rules
require persons who are or seek to be
associated with municipal securities
dealers as municipal securities
principals or municipal securities
representatives to provide certain
background information and conversely,
require the municipal securities dealers
to obtain the information from such
persons. Generally, the information
required to be furnished relates to
employment history and professional
background including any disciplinary
sanctions and any claimed bases for
exemption from MSRB examination
requirements. The FDIC and the other
two Federal bank regulatory agencies,
the Comptroller of the Currency, and the
Federal Reserve Board, have prescribed
Forms MSD–4 to satisfy these
requirements and have prescribed Form
MSD–5 for notification by a bank
municipal securities dealer that a
municipal securities principal’s or a
PO 00000
Frm 00036
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
municipal securities representative’s
association with the dealer has
terminated and the reason for such
termination. State nonmember banks
and state savings associations that are
municipal security dealers submit these
forms, as applicable, to the FDIC as their
appropriate regulatory agency for each
person associated with the dealer as a
municipal securities principal or
municipal securities representative.
There is no change in the methodology
or substance of this information
collection. This reduction in estimated
annual burden (from 4 hours in 2021 to
2 hours currently) is due to the decrease
in the estimated number of respondents.
