Information Collection Being Submitted for Review and Approval to 
Office of Management and Budget

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, the Federal 
Communications Commission (FCC or the Commission) invites the general

business concerns with fewer than 25 employees.'' The Commission may 
not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 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 OMB control number.

information collection should be submitted on or before December 14, 
2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As part of its continuing effort to reduce

paperwork burdens, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), the FCC invited the general public and 
other Federal Agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the 
following information collection. Comments are requested concerning: 
(a) 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; (b) the accuracy 
of the Commission's burden estimates; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d) 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. Pursuant to the Small Business 
Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, Public Law 107-198, see 44 U.S.C. 
3506(c)(4), the FCC seeks specific comment on how it might ``further 
reduce the information collection burden for small business concerns 
with fewer than 25 employees.''
    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.
Marlene Dortch,
Secretary, Office of the Secretary.
