Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the 

Federal Communications Commission 

for Extension Under Delegated 

Authority, Comments Requested

Commission, as part of its continuing 

effort to reduce paperwork burden

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0995. 

Title: Section 1.2105, Bidding 

Application and Certification 

Procedures; Prohibition of Certain 

Communications. 

Form No.: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

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

State, local or Tribal government. 

Number of Respondents: 10 

respondents; 10 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 1.5 

hours to 2 hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this information collection 

is contained in 47 U.S.C. 154(i) and 

309(j). 

Total Annual Burden: 50 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $6,000. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

The Commission is not requesting that 

the respondents submit confidential 

information to the Commission. If the 

Commission requests applicants to 

submit information that the respondents 

believe is confidential, respondents may 

request confidential treatment of such 

information under 47 CFR 0.459 of the 

Commission’s rules. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this expiring information 

collection to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) after this 60 day 

comment period in order to obtain the 

full three year clearance from them. The 

Commission is requesting an extension 

(no change in the reporting 

requirements) of this information 

collection. There is no change in the 

Commission’s burden estimates. 

Subject to certain exceptions, section 

1.2105(c) of the Commission’s rules 

prohibits auction applicants that are 

eligible to bid on any of the same 

geographic areas from cooperating or 

collaborating with respect to, discussing 

or disclosing to each other in any 

manner the substance of their bids or 

bidding strategies from the short-form 

application filing deadline to the postauction down payment deadline, unless 

such applicants are members of a 

bidding consortium or other joint 

bidding agreement reported on their 

short-form applications. 

The Commission has found that even 

when a communication of bids or 

bidding strategies is limited to one 

applicant’s bids or bidding strategies, it 

may unfairly disadvantage the other 

bidders in the market by creating an 

asymmetry of information. Section 

1.2105(c)(1) of the Commission’s rules 

attempts to address this concern by 

prohibiting auction applicants from 

communicating their bids or bidding 

strategies to each other. In enforcing 

Section 1.2105(c)(1), however, the 

Commission has encountered auction 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

69440 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 218 / Friday, November 12, 2010 / Notices 

applicants engaging in communications 

prohibited by the rule. In some 

instances, there has been concern 

expressed about the obligation of a 

bidder to report information received 

from another bidder that potentially 

violates the rule, and the Commission 

has previously counseled applicants on 

the safest course of action for a recipient 

of a prohibited communication during 

the period in which Section 1.2105(c)(1) 

prohibitions are in effect would be to 

terminate the discussion and promptly 

report communication to the 

Commission. The Commission believes 

that the anti-collusion rule to include 

such a reporting requirement, as a 

deterrent to would-be disseminators of 

prohibited information regarding bids or 

bidding strategies, will make clear the 

responsibility to report such behavior 

and will thereby enhance the 

competitiveness and fairness of its 

spectrum auctions. Under the 

amendment the Commission adopted in 

the Seventh Report and Order, an 

applicant’s failure to report a prohibited 

communication pursuant to Section 

1.2105(c) may constitute a rule violation 

distinct from any act of collusion that 

violates Section 1.2105(c)(1). 

The information requirement will 

enable the Commission to ensure that 

no bidder gains an unfair advantage 

over other bidders in its spectrum 

auctions and thus enhance the 

competitiveness and fairness of its 

auctions. The information collected will 

be reviewed, and if warranted, referred 

to the Commission’s Enforcement 

Bureau for possible investigation and 

administrative action. The Commission 

may also refer allegations of 

anticompetitive auction conduct to the 

Department of Justice (DoJ) for 

investigation. 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0221. 

Title: Section 90.155, Time in Which 

Station Must Be Placed in Operation. 

Form No.: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit and State, local or Tribal 

government. 

Number of Respondents: 1,589 

respondents; 1,589 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this information collection 

is contained in 47 U.S.C. 154(i), 161, 

303(g), 303(r) and 332(c)(7). 

Total Annual Burden: 1,589 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: N/A. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

There is no need for confidentiality. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this expiring information 

collection to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) after this 60 day 

comment period in order to obtain the 

full three year clearance from them. The 

Commission is requesting an extension 

(no change in the reporting 

requirements) of this information 

collection. The Commission is reporting 

a 179 hour burden reduction adjustment 

in the Commission’s previous burden 

estimates. The reduction is due to fewer 

respondents and therefore the burden 

hours have been adjusted. 

Section 90.155(b) provides that a 

period longer than 12 months may be 

granted to local government entities to 

place their stations in operation on a 

case-by-case basis upon a showing of 

need. This rule provides flexibility to 

State and local governments. An 

application for extension of time to 

commence service may be made on FCC 

Form 601. Extensions of time must be 

filed prior to the expiration of the 

construction period. Extensions will be 

granted only if the licensee shows that 

the failure to commence service is due 

to causes beyond its control. 

Section 90.155(d) establishes 

construction deadlines for Location and 

Monitoring Service (LMS) licensees in 

the market-licensed multilateration LMS 

services. This subsection was amended 

in 2004 to provide holders of 

multilateration location service 

authorizations with five- and ten-year 

benchmarks to place in operation their 

base stations that utilize multilateration 

technology to provide multilateration 

location service to one-third of the 

Economic Areas (EAs) population 

within five years to initial license grant, 

and two-thirds of the population within 

ten years. At the five- and ten-year 

benchmarks, licensees are required to 

file a map and FCC Form 601 showing 

compliance with the coverage 

requirements pursuant to section 1.946 

of the Commission’s rules. 

In 2007 the Commission granted two 

to three additional years to meet the 

five-year construction requirement for 

certain multilateration Location and 

Monitoring Service Economic Area 

licensees, and extended the 10-year 

requirement for such licensees two 

years. 

These requirements will be used by 

Commission personnel to evaluate 

whether or not certain licensees are 

providing substantial service as a means 

of complying with their construction 

requirements, or have demonstrated that 

an extended period of time for 

construction is warranted.
