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 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 January 
21, 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 Cathy Williams, FCC, via email 
[email protected] and to [email protected].

    Annual Cost Burden: $4,950.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: In general, there is no need

    Needs and Uses: The Federal Communications Commission 
(``Commission'') is requesting an extension of the information 
collection titled, ``28 GHz Band'' under OMB Control No. 3060-0768 from 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
    The information collection requirements contained 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 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.

Secretary, Office of the Secretary.
