# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

                    This document announces that OMB approved the information collection requirements in § 90.1207(e) and (f) on September 7, 2023. This rule section was adopted in the Commission's Seventh Report and Order, in WP Docket No. 07-100; FCC 23-3, published at 88 FR 12565, February 28, 2023. In this Seventh Report and Order, the Commission adopted a proposal to collect more granular data on public safety deployments in the 4.9 GHz band. The Commission also decided to continue using the Universal Licensing System (ULS) as the licensing database for public safety operations in the 4.9 GHz band. The Commission directed the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau and the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (collectively the Bureaus) to make any necessary enhancements to ULS and obtain any necessary review under the Paperwork Reduction Act, and announce by a notice when ULS is prepared to accept the granular data specified in § 90.1207(e) and (f) on public safety operations in the 4.9 GHz band. The Commission also directed the Bureaus to announce the compliance date for § 90.1207(e) and (f) by a subsequent notice and to cause § 90.1207(g)  to be revised accordingly. ULS will be prepared to accept the granular data on December 9, 2024. Therefore, consistent with instructions from the Seventh Report and Order, this document revises § 90.1207 by adding compliance dates to paragraph (g) which states that compliance with paragraphs (e) and (f) is not required until paragraph (g) is updated. The Commission publishes this document as a compliance date of the rule. If you have any comments on the burden estimates listed below, or how the Commission can improve the collections and reduce any burdens cause thereby, please contact Nicole Ongele, Federal Communications Commission, 45 L Street NE, Washington, DC 20554. Please include OMB Control Number, 3060-1312, in your correspondence. The Commission will also accept your comments via email at                     *PRA@fcc.gov*.
