list. A list so limited in scope that it
leaves out obvious numbers that could
be included with little effort may be
deemed unreasonable. The do-notoriginate list may include only:
(i) Numbers for which the subscriber
to which the number is assigned has
requested that calls purporting to
originate from that number be blocked
because the number is used for inbound
calls only;
(ii) North American Numbering Plan
numbers that are not valid;
(iii) Valid North American Numbering
Plan Numbers that are not allocated to
a provider by the North American
Numbering Plan Administrator; and
(iv) Valid North American Numbering
Plan numbers that are allocated to a
provider by the North American
Numbering Plan Administrator, but are
unused, so long as the provider blocking
the calls is the allocatee of the number
and confirms that the number is unused
or has obtained verification from the
allocatee that the number is unused at
the time of blocking.
The modified information collection
for which OMB approval is sought
comes from the revisions in the Eighth
Call Blocking Report and Order (Call
Blocking Eighth Report and Order at
paras. 9–14) to the requirement
originally adopted in the Gateway
Provider Report and Order (Gateway
Provider Order. at paras. 87–91). The
categories of numbers that may be
included on the reasonable DNO list are
the same categories of numbers for
which the Commission first authorized
blocking in 2017 (Gateway Provider
Order. at paras. 87–88; Call Blocking
Eighth Report and Order at paras. 9–14),
and did not change in the Eighth Call
Blocking Report and Order. There is no
valid reason for a caller to originate a
call from these numbers calls purporting
to originate from these numbers are
highly likely to be illegal.

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
Commission) invites the general public
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; and ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on the respondents,
including the use of automated
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 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.
DATES: Written PRA comments should
be submitted on or before August 11,
2025. 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:

303(r), 308, and 309(j).
Total Annual Burden: 5,316 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Needs and Uses: This collection
includes a Part 25 rule and various rules
in Part 101 that govern record retention,
reporting, and third-party disclosure
requirements related to satellite and
terrestrial sharing of the 12.2–12.7 GHz
band. The satellite operators are NonGeostationary Orbit Fixed Satellite
Service (NGSO FSS) and Direct
Broadcast Satellite (DBS) Service. The
terrestrial operators are Multichannel
Video Distribution and Data Service
(MVDDS). The following information
collected will assist the Commission in
analyzing trends and competition in the
marketplace. Section 25.139 requires
NGSO FSS licensees to maintain a
subscriber database in a format that can
be readily shared to enable MVDDS
licensees to determine whether a
proposed MVDDS transmitting antenna
meets the minimum spacing
requirement relative to qualifying,
existing NGSO FSS subscriber receivers
(set forth in § 101.129, FCC Rules).
Section 101.1403 requires certain
MVDDS licensees that meet the
statutory definition of Multichannel
Video Programming Distributor (MVPD)
to comply with the broadcast carriage
requirements located 47 U.S.C.
325(b)(1). Any MVDDS licensee that is
an MVPD must obtain the prior express
authority of a broadcast station before
retransmitting that station’s signal,
subject to the exceptions contained in
§ 325(b)(2) of the Communications Act
of 1934. Section 101.103(f) requires
MVDDS licensees to provide notice of
intent to construct a proposed antenna
to NGSO FSS licensees operating in the
12.2–12.7 GHz frequency band and to
establish and maintain an internet
website of all existing transmitting sites
and transmitting antenna that are
scheduled for operation within one year
including the ‘‘in service’’ dates. Section
101.1413, as a construction requirement,
requires MVDDS licensees to file a
showing of substantial service at five
and ten years into the initial license
term. Substantial service is defined as a
‘‘service that is sound, favorable, and
substantially above a level of mediocre
service which might minimally warrant
renewal.’’ The Commission set forth a
safe harbor to serve as a guide to
licensees in satisfying the substantial
service requirement, as well as
additional factors that it would take into
consideration in determining whether a
E:\FR\FM\10JNN1.SGM
10JNN1
Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 110 / Tuesday, June 10, 2025 / Notices
licensee satisfies the substantial service
standard. Section 101.1440 requires
MVDDS licensees to collect information
and disclose information to third
parties. Therefore, the reporting and
disclosure requirements are as follows:
Section 101.1440 requires MVDDS
licensees to conduct a survey of the area
around its proposed transmitting
antenna site to determine the location of
all DBS customers of record that may
potentially be affected by the
introduction of its MVDDS service. At
least 90 days prior to the planned date
of MVDDS commencement of
operations, the MVDDS licensee must
then provide specific information to the
DBS licensee(s). Alternatively, MVDDS
licensees may obtain a signed, written
agreement from DBS customers of
record stating that they are aware of and
agree to their DBS system receiving
MVDDS signal levels in excess of the
appropriate Equivalent Power Flux
Density (EPFD) limits. The DBS licensee
must thereafter provide the MVDDS
licensee with a list of only those new
DBS customer locations that have been
installed in the 30-day period following
the MVDDS notification that the DBS
licensee believes may receive harmful
interference or where the prescribed
EPFD limits may be exceeded. If the
MVDDS licensee determines that its
signal level will exceed the EPFD limit
at any DBS customer site, it shall take
whatever steps are necessary, up to and
including finding a new transmitter site.
Section 101.1417 requires MVDDS
licensees to file an annual report. The
MVDDS licensees must file with the
Commission two copies of a ‘‘licensee
information report’’ by March 1st of
each year for the preceding calendar
year. This ‘‘licensee information report’’
must include name and address of
licensee; station(s) call letters and
primary geographic service area(s); and
statistical data for the licensee’s station.
