As part of its continuing effort to

Needs and Uses: On March 3, 2020, 

the Commission released a Report and 

Order and Order of Proposed 

Modification titled, ‘‘In the Matter of 

Expanding Flexible Use of the 3.7 to 4.2 

GHz,’’ GN Docket Number 18–122 (FCC 

20–22). This rulemaking, which is 

under the purview of the Commission’s 

Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, 

is hereinafter referred to as the 3.7 GHz 

Report and Order. 

The Commission believes that C-band 

spectrum for terrestrial wireless uses 

will play a significant role in bringing 

next-generation services like 5G to the 

American public and assuring American 

leadership in the 5G ecosystem. The 

agency took action to make this valuable 

spectrum resource available for new 

terrestrial wireless uses as quickly as 

possible, while also preserving the 

continued operation of existing Fixed 

Satellite Services (FSS) available during 

and after the transition. 

In the 3.7 GHz Report and Order, the 

Commission concluded that a public 

auction of the lower 280 megahertz of 

the C-band will best carry out our goals, 

and the agency will add a mobile 

allocation to the 3.7–4.0 GHz band so 

that next-generation services such as 5G 

can use the band. Relying on the 

Emerging Technologies framework, the 

Commission adopted a process to 

relocate FSS operations into the upper 

200 megahertz of the band, while fully 

reimbursing existing operators for the 

costs of this relocation and offering 

accelerated relocation payments to 

encourage a speedy transition. The 

Commission also adopted service and 

technical rules for overlay licensees in 

the 280 megahertz of spectrum 

designated for transition to flexible use. 

Among other information collection 

requirements in the 3.7 GHz Report and 

Order, the Commission has adopted 

several requirements, described in the 

text, related to the protection of TT&C 

earth stations and coordination with 3.7 

GHz Service licensees. In a section of 

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.
