Information Collections 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 (PRA) of 1995, the 
Federal Communications Commission (FCC or the Commission) invites the 
general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to 
comment on the following information collection. 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 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 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before June 30, 
2023. 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].

FCC 23-3 requires public safety applicants seeking to license new or 
modify existing facilities in the 4.9 GHz band to obtain a frequency 
recommendation from the nationwide Band Manager before the application 
is filed with the Commission.
    The purpose of requiring each public safety applicant to obtain a 
frequency recommendation from the nationwide Band Manager is to ensure 
that public safety entities seeking to license new or modify existing 
facilities in the 4.9 GHz band cause no interference to incumbent 
licensees or previously filed applicants.
    OMB Control Number: 3060-XXXX.
    Title: Sections 90.1207(e)-(f), Amendment of Part 90 of the 
Commission's Rules.

and Budget (OMB) in order to obtain the full three-year clearance.
    Section 90.1207(e) adopted in the Commission's Report and Order FCC 
23-3 requires public safety applicants seeking to license new or modify

data on their proposed operations into ULS. Section 90.1207(f), also 
adopted in the Commission's Report and Order FCC 23-3, requires 
incumbent public safety licensees to perform a one-time submission into 
ULS of the granular data specified in paragraph (e) for their existing 
operations and gives incumbent licensees at least a one-year period to

    The purpose of requiring incumbent public safety licensees and 
public safety applicants in the 4.9 GHz band to submit granular 
technical data into ULS is to enable the Band Manager at 4.9 GHz to use 
the granular technical data on public safety deployments to perform its 
frequency coordination duties and facilitate non-public safety access 
to the band.
