[OMB 3060-0768]


Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission Under Delegated Authority

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 (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

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 comments should be submitted on or before November 14, 
2017. 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 contacts below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Cathy Williams, FCC, via email 
[email protected] and to [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the 
information collection, contact Cathy Williams at (202) 418-2918.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As part of its continuing effort to reduce 
paperwork burdens, and as required by the PRA of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520), the FCC 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

    OMB Control No.: 3060-0768.
    Title: 28 GHz Band Segmentation Plan Amending the Commission's 
Rules to Redesignate the 27.5-29.5 GHz Frequency Band, to Reallocate 
the 29.5 to 30.0 GHz Frequency Band and to Establish Rules and 
Policies.
    Form No.: None.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents/Responses: 17 respondents; 17 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 2 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement; third-
party disclosure requirement.
    Obligation To Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The 
statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 
U.S.C. 154 and 303.
    Total Annual Burden: 34 hours.
    Annual Cost Burden: $4,950.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: In general, there is no need 
for confidentiality with this collection of information.
    Needs and Uses: The Federal Communications Commission 
(``Commission'') is requesting a revision of the information collection 
titled, ``28 GHz Band'' under OMB Control No. 3060-0768 from the Office 
of Management and Budget (OMB).
    The purpose of the revision is to remove the information collection 
requirements that are contained under 47 CFR Sections 25.203, 25.250, 
25.257 and 25.258 from OMB Control No. 3060-0768 because they were 
consolidated under OMB Control No. 3060-0678. The consolidation was 
approved by OMB on August 15, 2014.
    The information collection requirements which remain in this 
collection require are as follows: (1) Local Multipoint Distribution 
Systems (LMDS) licensees to serve copies of their applications on all 
Non-Geostationary Mobile Satellite Service (NGSO/MSS) applicants 
(Section 101.147) and (2) NGSO/MSS feeder link earth stations must 
specify a set of geographic coordinates for location of these earth 
stations, 15 days after the release of a public notice announcing 
commencement of LMDS auctions (Section 101.147).
    The information is used by the Commission and other applicants and/
or licensees in the 28 GHz band to facilitate technical coordination of 
systems among applicants and/or licensees in the 28 GHz band. Without 
such information, the Commission

[[Page 43366]]

could not implement the Commission's band plan.
    Affected applicants and licensees are required to provide the 
requested information to the Commission and other third parties 
whenever they seek authority to provide service in the 28 GHz band. The 
frequency of filing is, in general, determined by the applicant or 
licensees. If this information is compiled less frequently or not filed 
in conjunction with our rules, applicants and licensees will not obtain 
the authorization necessary to provide telecommunications services. 
Furthermore, the Commission would not be able to carry out its mandate 
as required by statute and applicants and licensees would not be able 
to provide service effectively.

Federal Communications Commission.
