Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 26 / Wednesday, February 10, 2021 / Notices 8907 

the 3.7 GHz Report and Order titled 

‘‘Adjacent Channel Protection Criteria’’ 

the Commission sets out the following 

requirements: 

Pursuant to paragraph 388 of the 3.7 

GHz Report and Order, the Commission 

requires that the TT&C operators make 

available certain pertinent technical 

information about their systems upon 

request by licensees in the 3.7 GHz 

Service to ensure the protection of 

TT&C operations. In addition, paragraph 

389 of the 3.7 GHz Report and Order 

includes the requirement that, in the 

event of a claim by a TT&C earth station 

operating in 4.0–4.2 GHz of harmful 

interference by a 3.7 GHZ operator, the 

earth station operator must demonstrate 

that that have installed a filter that 

complies with the mask requirement 

prescribed by the Commission. This 

requirement will facilitate an efficient 

and safe transition by requiring earth 

station operators to demonstrate their 

compliance with the mask 

requirements, thereby minimizing the 

risk of interference. 

OMB Control Number: 3060–1166. 

Title: Section 1.21001, Participation 

in Competitive Bidding for Support; 

Section 1.21002, Prohibition of Certain 

Communications During the 

Competitive Bidding Process. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities, not-for-profit institutions, 

and state, local or tribal governments. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 750 respondents and 750 

responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 1.5 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this information collection 

47 U.S.C. 154, 254 and 303(r). 

Total Annual Burden: 1,125 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: No cost. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

Information collected in each 

application to participate in an auction 

for universal service support will be 

made available for public inspection, 

and the Commission is not requesting 

that respondents submit confidential 

information to the Commission as part 

of the pre-auction application process. 

However, to the extent that a respondent 

seeks to have certain information 

collected in an application to participate 

in an auction for universal service 

support or in a report of a prohibited 

communication withheld from public 

inspection, the respondent may request 

confidential treatment of such 

information pursuant to section 0.459 of 

the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR Section 

0.459. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No 

impact(s). 

Needs and Uses: The information 

required by section 1.21001 of the 

Commission’s rules that is collected 

under this information collection is 

used by the Commission to determine 

whether applicants are eligible to 

participate in auctions for Universal 

Service Fund support. The reports of 

prohibited communications made or 

received by an auction applicant 

required by section 1.21002 of the 

Commission’s rules that are collected 

under this information collection enable 

the Commission to ensure that no 

bidder gains an unfair advantage over 

other bidders in its auctions for 

universal service support and thus 

enhance the competitiveness and 

fairness of Commission’s auctions for 

universal service support. 

On November 18, 2011, the 

Commission released an order 

comprehensively reforming and 

modernizing the universal service and 

intercarrier compensation systems to 

ensure that robust, affordable voice and 

broadband service, both fixed and 

mobile, are available to Americans 

throughout the nation. Connect America 

Fund et al., Order and Further Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking, FCC 11–161 

(USF/ICC Transformation Order). In the 

USF/ICC Transformation Order, the 

Commission, among other things, 

created (1) the Connect America Fund 

(CAF), to help make broadband 

available to homes, businesses, and 

community anchor institutions in areas 

that do not, or would not otherwise, 

have broadband, (2) the Mobility Fund, 

to ensure the availability of mobile 

broadband networks in areas where a 

private-sector business case, (3) the 

Remote Areas Fund (RAF), to ensure 

that Americans living in the most 

remote areas in the nation, where the 

cost of deploying traditional terrestrial 

broadband networks is extremely high, 

can obtain affordable access through 

alternative technology platforms, 

including satellite and unlicensed 

wireless services. The USF/ICC 

Transformation Order directed that 

support under CAF Phase II, the 

Mobility Fund, and the RAF be awarded 

by competitive bidding. The 

Commission adopted rules to 

implement the reforms it adopted in the 

USF/ICC Transformation Order, 

including rules in Part 1, Subpart AA of 

the Commission’s rules governing 

competitive bidding for universal 

service support generally. See 47 CFR 

1.21001–1.21004. 

On October 27, 2020, the Commission 

adopted a Report and Order in which it, 

among other things, amended its 

existing Part 1, Subpart AA general 

universal service competitive bidding 

rules to codify policies and procedures 

applicable to the universal service 

auction application process that have 

been adopted in its recent universal 

service auctions, better align provisions 

in the universal service competitive 

bidding rules with like provisions in the 

Commission’s spectrum auction rules, 

and make other updates for consistency, 

clarification, and other purposes that 

would apply in all universal service 

auctions. Establishing a 5G Fund for 

Rural America, Report and Order, FCC 

20–150 (5G Fund Report and Order). 

The amended Part 1, Subpart AA rules 

adopted in the 5G Fund Report and 

Order apply to applicants seeking to 

participate in future Commission 

auctions for universal service support.

Digital Notification, FCC Form 335. 

Form Number: FCC Form 335. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 270 respondents; 270 

responses. 

Estimated Hours per Response: 1 

hour–8 hours.

154(i), 303, 310, and 553 of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

There is no need for confidentiality with 

this collection of information. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No 

impact(s). 

Needs and Uses: On October 27, 2020, 

the Commission released the All-Digital 

AM Broadcasting Report and Order, 

FCC 20–154, MB Dkts. 19–311, 13–249, 

where it adopts rules to allow AM radio 

stations, on a voluntary basis, to 

broadcast an all-digital signal using the 

HD radio in-band on-channel (IBOC) 

mode name MA3. This action benefits 

AM stations and their listeners by 

improving reception quality and 

listenable signal coverage in stations’ 

service areas and by advancing the 

Commission’s goal of improving the AM 

service, thereby helping to ensure the 

future of the service. AM broadcast 

station licensees are required to notify 

the Commission of a change to alldigital operations using Digital 

Notification Form, FCC Form 335–AM. 

Specifically pertaining to this 

Information Collection, in the AllDigital AM Broadcasting Report and 

Order, the Commission requires AM 

broadcast stations to electronically file a 

digital notification using the existing 

FCC Form 335–AM Digital Notification 

(or any successor notification form) to 

notify the Commission of the following 

changes: (1) The commencement of new 

all-digital operation; (2) an increase in 

nominal power of an all-digital AM 

station; or (3) a transition from core-only 

to enhanced operating mode. Although 

we direct broadcasters to use the current 

Form 335–AM for all-digital 

notifications, additional information is 

required for notification of AM alldigital operations specifically. 

Therefore, until the Form 335–AM is 

updated to display the new all-digital 

operation requirements, we direct filers 

to select ‘‘N/A’’ as appropriate within 

the form and submit an attachment 

containing the following information. 

These new all-digital AM notification 

requirements have been added to new 

section 73.406 of the Commission’s 

rules. 

(a) The type of notification (all-digital 

notification, increase in nominal power, 

reduction in nominal power, transition 

from core-only to enhanced, transition 

from enhanced to core-only, reversion 

from all-digital to hybrid or analog 

operation); 

(b) the date that new or modified alldigital operation will commence or has 

ceased; 

(c) a certification that the all-digital 

operations will conform to the relevant 

nominal power and spectral emissions 

limits; 

(d) the nominal power of the alldigital station; 

(e) a certification that the all-digital 

station complies with all EAS 

requirements; and 

(f) if a notification of commencement 

of new all-digital service or a nominal 

power change, whether the station is 

operating in core-only or enhanced 

mode. 

The All-Digital AM Broadcasting 

Report and Order also revises and 

reorganizes the digital notification 

requirements formally contained in 

section 73.404(e) of the rules by 

removing paragraph 73.404(e) and 

adding new section 73.406 Notification. 

The Notification Requirements 

Contained Under 47 CFR 73.406 Are as 

Follows 

Hybrid AM and FM licensees must 

electronically file a digital notification 

to the Commission in Washington, DC, 

within 10 days of commencing IBOC 

digital operation. All-digital licensees 

must file a digital notification within 10 

days of the following changes: (1) Any 

reduction in nominal power of an alldigital AM station; (2) a transition from 

enhanced to core-only operating mode; 

or (3) a reversion from all-digital to 

hybrid or analog operation. All-digital 

licensees will not be permitted to 

commence operation sooner than 30 

calendar days from public notice of 

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 26 / Wednesday, February 10, 2021 / Notices 8909 

digital notification of the following 

changes: (1) The commencement of new 

all-digital operation; (2) an increase in 

nominal power of an all-digital AM 

station; or (2) a transition from core-only 

to enhanced operating mode. 

(a) Every digital notification must 

include the following information: 

(1) The call sign and facility 

identification number of the station; 

(2) If applicable, the date on which 

the new or modified IBOC operation 

commenced or ceased; 

(3) The name and telephone number 

of a technical representative the 

Commission can call in the event of 

interference; 

(4) A certification that the operation 

will not cause human exposure to levels 

of radio frequency radiation in excess of 

the limits specified in § 1.1310 of this 

chapter and is therefore categorically 

excluded from environmental 

processing pursuant to § 1.1306(b) of 

this chapter. Any station that cannot 

certify compliance must submit an 

environmental assessment (‘‘EA’’) 

pursuant to § 1.1311 of this chapter and 

may not commence IBOC operation 

until such EA is ruled upon by the 

Commission. 

(b) Each AM digital notification must 

also include the following information: 

(1) A certification that the IBOC DAB 

facilities conform to applicable nominal 

power limits and emissions mask limits; 

(2) The nominal power of the station; 

if separate analog and digital 

transmitters are used, the nominal 

power for each transmitter; 

(3) If applicable, the amount of any 

reduction in an AM station’s digital 

carriers; 

(4) For all-digital stations, the type of 

notification (all-digital notification, 

increase in nominal power, reduction in 

nominal power, transition from coreonly to enhanced, transition from 

enhanced to core-only, reversion from 

all-digital to hybrid or analog 

operation); 

(5) For all-digital stations, if a 

notification of commencement of new 

all-digital service or a nominal power 

change, whether the station is operating 

in core-only or enhanced mode; and 

(6) For all-digital stations, a 

certification that the all-digital station 

complies with all EAS requirements. 

(c) Each FM digital notification must 

also include the following information: 

(1) A certification that the IBOC DAB 

facilities conform to the HD Radio 

emissions mask limits; 

(2) FM digital effective radiated power 

used and certification that the FM 

analog effective radiated power remains 

as authorized; 

(3) If applicable, the geographic 

coordinates, elevation data, and license 

file number of the auxiliary antenna 

employed by an FM station as a separate 

digital antenna; and 

(4) If applicable, for FM systems 

employing interleaved antenna bays, a 

certification that adequate filtering and/ 

or isolation equipment has been 

installed to prevent spurious emissions 

in excess of the limits specified in 

§ 73.317.
