DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of 
information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Agency: National Telecommunications and Information Administration.
    Title: NTIA/FCC Web-Based Frequency Coordination System.
    OMB Control Number: 0660-0018.
    Form Number(s): N/A.
    Type of Request: Regular submission (extension of a currently 
approved information collection).
    Number of Respondents: 5,000.
    Average Hours per Response: 15 minutes.
    Burden Hours: 1,250.
    Needs and Uses: The National Telecommunications and Information 
Administration (NTIA) hosts a Web-based system that collects specific 
identification information (e.g., company name, location and projected 
range of the operation) from applicants seeking to operate in existing 
and planned radio frequency (RF) bands that are shared on a co-primary 
basis by Federal and non-Federal users. The Web-based system provides a 
means for non-Federal applicants to rapidly determine the availability 
of RF spectrum in a specific location, or a need for detailed frequency 
coordination of a specific newly proposed assignment within the shared 
portions of the radio spectrum; and replaced the manual RF assignment 
process used by the Federal Communications Commission and NTIA. The 
system helps expedite the coordination process for non-federal 
applicants while assuring protection of government data relating to 
national security. The Web-based system replaced a manual process where 
coordination and approval could take up to a year to complete.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations; state 
or local government.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained 
by calling or writing Jennifer Jessup, Departmental Paperwork Clearance 
Officer, (202) 482-0336, Department of Commerce, Room 6616, 14th and 
Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230 (or via the Internet at 
[email protected]).
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to Nicholas Fraser, OMB Desk Officer, FAX number (202) 395-5167, or via 
the Internet at [email protected].

    Dated: November 8, 2013.
Gwellnar Banks,
Management Analyst, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
