FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

[OMB 3060-1080; FRS 16913]


Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), 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; 
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 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.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before September 
8, 2020. 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 
[email protected] and to [email protected].

information collection, contact Nicole Ongele, (202) 418-2991.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control Number: 3060-1080.
    Title: Improving Public Safety Communications in the 800 MHz Band.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities; and/or State, 
local or tribal governments.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 60 respondents; 2,665 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.5 hours to 10 hours (4.5 hours 
average).
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and third 
party disclosure requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 
U.S.C. 151, 154, 160, 251-254, 303, and 332.
    Total Annual Burden: 9,039 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No Cost.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission will work with 
respondents to ensure that their concerns regarding the confidentiality 
of any proprietary or public safety-sensitive information are resolved 
in a manner consistent with the Commission's rules. See 47 CFR 0.459.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this expiring 
information collection to the Office of Management Budget (OMB) after 
this 60 day comment period in order to obtain the full three year 
clearance from them. The information sought will assist 800 MHz 
licensees in preventing or resolving interference and enable the 
Commission to implement its rebanding program.
    Under that program, certain licensees are being relocated to new 
frequencies in the 800 MHz band, with all rebanding costs paid by T-
Mobile. The Commission's overarching objective in this proceeding is to 
eliminate interference to public safety communications. As demonstrated 
in the Commission's 2020 Report and Order in this rulemaking proceeding 
(FCC 20-61), the Commission is actively accelerating the conclusion of 
the 800 MHz rebanding program.

Federal Communications Commission.
