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: 3060–1058. 

Title: FCC Application or Notification 

for Spectrum Leasing Arrangement or 

Private Commons Arrangement: WTB 

and PSHS Bureaus. 

Form Number: FCC Form 608. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

Respondents: Individual and 

households; Businesses or other forprofit entities; State, local, or Tribal 

government, and Not for profit 

institutions. 

Number of Respondents: 1,697 

respondents; 1,697 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 0.05 

hours–3 hours. 

Frequency of Response: 

Recordkeeping requirement, third party 

disclosure requirement, on occasion 

reporting requirement, one-time 

reporting requirement and periodic 

reporting requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this information collection 

is contained in 47 U.S.C. 1, 4(i), 157, 

301, 303, 307, 308, 309, and 310 of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended. 

Total Annual Burden: 2,878 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $1,763,375. 

Needs and Uses: FCC Form 608 is a 

multi-purpose form. It is used to 

provide notification or request approval 

for any spectrum leasing arrangement 

(‘‘Lease’’) entered into between an 

existing licensee in certain Wireless 

and/or Public Safety Radio Services and 

a spectrum lessee. This form also is 

required to notify or request approval 

for any spectrum subleasing 

arrangement (‘‘Sublease’’). The data 

collected on the form is used by the FCC 

to determine whether the public interest 

would be served by the Lease or 

Sublease. The form is also used to 

provide notification for any Private 

Commons Arrangement entered into 

between a licensee, lessee, or sublessee 

and a class of third-party users (as 

defined in Section 1.9080 of the 

Commission’s Rules). 

The Commission is revising this form 

to collect information in order to 

confirm that satellite service operators 

and terrestrial service providers who 

seek to enter lease agreements in order 

to offer supplemental coverage from 

space (SCS) do so in compliance with 

the rules that govern SCS operations. On 

March 15, 2024, the Commission 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 18, 2024 / Notices 76473 

released a Report and Order and Further 

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in GN 

Docket No. 23–65 and IB Docket No. 22– 

271, FCC 24–28, which adds new 

section 1.9047(d)(2) to the 

Commission’s rules requiring the 

spectrum lessee or sublessee seeking to 

engage in spectrum leasing under this 

section to provide certain information 

within the Commission Form 608 when 

seeking a leasing agreement to provide 

SCS. Applicants will file Form 608 into 

the Commission’s Universal Licensing 

System (ULS) database. 

The Commission anticipates that SCS 

will enable consumers in areas not 

covered by terrestrial networks to be 

connected using their existing devices 

via satellite-based communications. SCS 

is a crucial component of the 

Commission’s vision for a ‘‘single 

network future,’’ in which satellite and 

terrestrial networks work seamlessly 

together to provide coverage that neither 

network can achieve on its own. In 

order to ensure that prospective SCS 

operators will be able to comply with 

the applicable rules, that the public 

interest will be served by granting their 

applications, and that harmful 

interference will be avoided to the 

greatest extent possible thereafter, the 

Commission seeks approval to collect 

the following information from 

prospective SCS spectrum lessees. 

The Commission has adopted new 

requirements in its part 1 rules that 

obligate lessees to provide the following 

on FCC Form 608: a certification that 

they are entering a leasing agreement in 

order to provide SCS; a description of 

the type of permitted arrangement the 

parties will enter (e.g., is there a single 

terrestrial licensee or multiple terrestrial 

licensees that together hold the required 

licenses); and, if there are multiple 

terrestrial licensees, a further 

description of the leasing arrangement 

and explanation of how those licensees 

together hold all of the relevant licenses 

in a particular geographically dependent 

area (GIA). Entities completing FCC 

Form 608 for the purposes of providing 

SCS must also indicate that the 

application is for SCS by checking a box 

on Form 608. 

This information collection is 

designed to allow Commission staff to 

carry out its statutory duties to regulate 

satellite communications in the public 

interest; namely, to ensure that 

prospective providers of SCS will 

operate in compliance with the 

applicable regulatory framework. This 

process utilizes an existing Commission 

form, which will remove confusion by 

employing the procedures that are 

already in place. The modifications for 

Form 608 covered herein will enable the 

Commission to more accurately track 

filings related to the provision of SCS, 

a critical component of application 

review given the interplay between part 

1 lease filings and part 25 license 

applications inherent in the SCS 

framework. This is especially crucial 

where multiple entities together hold all 

co-channel licenses in a particular band 

throughout a geographically 

independent area (GIA) and wish to 

deploy a leasing agreement with a 

satellite operator to provide SCS. Such 

arrangements are only permitted in the 

circumstances described in section 

1.9047(d)(1)(ii)(A)–(B); specifically, the 

Commission must be able to confirm 

that the multiple licensees in fact cover 

the entirety of the GIA in question and 

that, when reviewing related part 25 

license applications, the entire area of 

the proposed service is covered by the 

associated leases. This collection will 

thereby enable the Commission to 

monitor and enforce the entry criteria 

that SCS providers must satisfy, and 

which are designed to minimize the 

possibility of harmful interference. 

Finally, the collection will play a 

critical role in the Commission’s effort 

to review and track leasing 

arrangements that will result in entities 

providing SCS.
