Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 32 / Friday, February 19, 2021 / Notices 10281 

8 47 CFR 25.161(c). 

Earth station operators that do not 

respond by April 19, 2021 to affirm the 

continued operation of the identified 

earth station antennas will be deemed to 

have had the authorizations for those 

antennas automatically terminated by 

rule. Those authorizations will be 

terminated in IBFS, i.e., the IBFS 

records for those antennas will be 

shown with a terminated status. Such 

terminated earth stations will also be 

removed from the incumbent earth 

station list and will not be entitled to 

protection from interference from the 

network deployments of new wireless 

licenses or be eligible for reimbursement 

of any transition costs, including the 

cost of any filters, that those earth 

stations may decide to incur. 

Unresponsive earth station operators 

(and associated antennas). Based on 

their failure to respond to multiple 

contact attempts by RSM and the 

incumbent satellite operators, we hereby 

presume that the incumbent earth 

station antennas identified in 

Attachment B as associated with 

unresponsive earth station operators 

have ceased operations. Section 

25.161(c) of the Commission’s rules 

provide that an earth station 

authorization is automatically 

terminated if the station is not 

operational for more than 90 days.8

To confirm whether or not these 

unresponsive station operators have 

discontinued the operation of these 

earth station antennas, we direct the 

operators of earth stations on the list 

whose facilities continue to be 

operational to submit a notification, by 

no later than 90 days after release of this 

Public Notice (i.e., no later than April 

19, 2021), affirming that these facilities 

remain operational and that they intend 

to participate in the C-band transition. 

Operators should submit this 

notification to the Bureau in ECFS IB 

Docket No. 20–205. In providing this 

response, an earth station operator 

affirming that the identified earth 

station antennas remain operational 

should identify the satellite from which 

each antenna is receiving service. 

Commission staff will forward all 

affirmations of continued operation to 

the Relocation Coordinator and/or 

relevant satellite operator(s), who will 

contact affirming earth station operators 

directly to initiate the transition. An 

earth station operator may contact 

Bureau staff at IBFSINFO@fcc.gov if it 

wants advice on how to make a filing in 

ECFS. 

Earth station operators that do not 

respond by April 19, 2021 to affirm the 

continued operation of the identified 

earth station antennas will be deemed to 

have had the authorizations for those 

antennas automatically terminated by 

rule. Those authorizations will be 

terminated in IBFS. Such terminated 

earth stations will also be removed from 

the incumbent earth station list and will 

not be entitled to protection from 

interference from the network 

deployments of new wireless licenses or 

be eligible for reimbursement of any 

transition costs, including the cost of 

any filters, that those earth stations may 

decide to incur.

Rules Governing the Licensing of, and 

Spectrum Usage by, Satellite Network 

Stations and Space Stations.

312–EZ, FCC Form 312–R and 

Schedules A, B and S. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities and Not-for-profit 

institutions. 

Number of Respondents: 6,524 

respondents; 6,573 responses.

hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion, 

one time, and annual reporting 

requirements; third-party disclosure 

requirement; recordkeeping 

requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to

Commission has statutory authority for 

the information collection requirements 

under 47 U.S.C. 154, 301, 302, 303, 307, 

309, 310, 319, 332, 605, and 721. 

Total Annual Burden: 44,988 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $16,612,586. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No 

impact(s). 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

There is no need for confidentiality 

pertaining to the information collection

Needs and Uses: On March 3, 2020, 

the Commission released a Report and 

Order and Order of Proposed 

Modification, FCC 20–22, GN Docket 

No. 18–122, titled ‘‘Expanding Flexible 

Use of the 3.7 to 4.2 GHz Band.’’ In this 

Report and Order and Order of Proposed 

Modification, the Commission updated 

its rules by reforming the use of the 3.7– 

4.2 GHz band, also known as the CBand. The new rules repack existing 

satellite operations into the upper 200 

megahertz of the band (and reserve a 20 

megahertz guard band), making a 

significant amount of spectrum—280 

megahertz or more than half of the 

band—available for flexible use 

throughout the contiguous United 

States. The relevant rule revisions for 

purposes of this information collection 

are the addition of sections 25.138 and 

25.147 of the Commission’s rules. In 

updating this information collection, we 

are not accounting for any changes to 

the number of respondents, burden 

hours, and annual cost related to these 

rule revisions since the addition of 

sections 25.138 and 25.147 set forth 

rules for transition of operations from 

one frequency band to another.

comment on CMS’ intention to collect 

information from the public. Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA), Federal agencies are required to

utility of the proposed information 

collection for the proper performance of 

the agency’s functions, the accuracy of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) 

(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), federal agencies 

must obtain approval from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for each 

collection of information they conduct 

or sponsor. The term ‘‘collection of 

information’’ is defined in 44 U.S.C. 

3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and 

includes agency requests or 

requirements that members of the public 

submit reports, keep records, or provide 

information to a third party. Section 

3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A)) requires federal agencies 

to publish a 30-day notice in the 

Federal Register concerning each 

proposed collection of information, 

including each proposed extension or 

reinstatement of an existing collection 

of information, before submitting the 

collection to OMB for approval. To 

comply with this requirement, CMS is 

publishing this notice that summarizes 

the following proposed collection(s) of 

information for public comment: 

1. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Revision of a currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Submissions of 

1135 Waiver Request Automated 

Process; Use: Waivers under Section 

1135 of the Social Security Act (the Act) 

and certain flexibilities allow the CMS 

to relax certain requirements, known as 

the Conditions of Participation (CoPs) or 

Conditions of Coverage to promote the 

health and safety of beneficiaries. Under 

Section 1135 of the Act, the Secretary 

may temporarily waive or modify 

certain Medicare, Medicaid, and 

Children’s Health Insurance Program 

(CHIP) requirements to ensure that 

sufficient health care services are 

available to meet the needs of 

individuals enrolled in Social Security 

Act programs in the emergency area and 

time periods. These waivers ensure that 

providers who provide such services in 

good faith can be reimbursed and 

exempted from sanctions. 

During emergencies, such as the 

current COVID–19 public health 

emergency (PHE), CMS must be able to 

apply program waivers and flexibilities 

under section 1135 of the Social 

Security Act, in a timely manner to 

respond quickly to unfolding events. In
