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.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before October 
13, 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 Cathy Williams, FCC, via email to 
[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: 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.
    OMB Control Number: 3060-1070.
    Title: Allocation and Service Rules for the 71-76 GHz, 81-86 GHz, 
and 92-95 GHz Bands.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities; not-for-profit 
institutions; and State, local, or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 317 respondents; 8,205 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 1.5 to 5.35 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement, 
recordkeeping 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(i), 303(f) and (r), 309, 316, and 332 of the 
Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
    Total Annual Burden: 5,677 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $200,000.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission is seeking an extension of this 
information collection in order to obtain the full three-year approval 
from OMB. There are no program changes to the reporting, recordkeeping 
and/or third-party disclosure requirements, but we are revising 
estimates based on the reduction of database managers, and the increase 
of renewals of the nationwide licensees. The recordkeeping, reporting, 
and third-party disclosure requirements will be used by the Commission 
to verify licensee compliance with the Commission rules and 
regulations, and to ensure that licensees continue to fulfill their 
statutory responsibilities in accordance with the Communications Act of 
1934. The Commission's rules promote the private sector development and 
use of 71-76 GHz, 81-86 GHz, and 92-95 GHz bands (70/80/90 GHz bands). 
Such information has been used in the past and will continue to be used 
to minimize interference, verify that applicants are legally and 
technically qualified to hold license, and to determine compliance with 
Commission rules.

Federal Communications Commission.
