FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

[OMB 3060-1080; FR ID 168517]


Information Collection 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:

[[Page 60677]]

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 November 
6, 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].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the 
information collection, contact Nicole Ongele, (202) 418-2991.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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.
    OMB Control Number: 3060-1080.
    Title: Collections for the Prevention or Elimination of 
Interference and for the Reconfiguration of the 800 MHz Band.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities; and/or State, 
local or Tribal governments.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 58 respondents; 2,956 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.5-10 hours (4.5 hours average).
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting 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, 160, 251-254, 303, and 332.
    Total Annual Burden: 9,507 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No Cost.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this expiring 
information collection to the Office of Management Budget (OMB) after 
this 60-day comment period in order to obtain the full three year 
clearance from them. The information sought assists 800 MHz licensees 
in preventing or resolving interference and enable the Commission to 
implement its rebanding program. Under that program, certain licensees 
are being relocated to new frequencies in the 800 MHz band, with all 
rebanding costs paid by T-Mobile. The Commission's overarching 
objective in this proceeding is to eliminate interference to public 
safety communications. As demonstrated in the Commission's 2020 Report 
and Order in this rulemaking proceeding (FCC 20-61), the Commission is 
actively accelerating the conclusion of the 800 MHz rebanding program.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary, Office of the Secretary.
