FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 96

[GN Docket No. 12-354, FCC 15-47; 16-55]


Amendment of the Commission's Rules With Regard to Operation in 
the 3550-3650 MHz Band

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule; announcement of effective date.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission (Commission) is 
announcing that three final rules that appeared in the Federal Register 
as part of the Commission's rulemaking Commercial Operations in the 
3550-3650 MHz Band do not need information collection approval from the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and are effective immediately. 
This document is consistent with the First Report and Order and Second 
Report and Order, which stated that the Commission would publish a 
document in the Federal Register announcing OMB approval and the 
effective date of these rules.

DATES: 47 CFR 96.29 published at 80 FR 36164, June 23, 2015, and 47 CFR 
96.17(b) and 47 CFR 96.3 published at 81 FR 49024, July 26, 2016, are 
effective on January 9, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Becky Schwartz, Mobility Division, 
Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, FCC, (202) 418-7178. For additional 
information concerning the information collection requirements 
contained in the First Report and Order or Second Report and Order, 
contact Cathy Williams at (202) 418-2918, or via the internet at 
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#3d6d6f7c7d5b5e5e135a524b"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="beeeecfffed8dddd90d9d1c8">[email protected]</span></a>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The First Report and Order, FCC 15-47, 
published at 80 FR 36164, June 23, 2015, stated that section 96.29 
would not become effective until after the Federal Register publication 
of the date that OMB approved the resulting modification of the 
information collections under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) and 
effective date of such modifications. The Second Report and Order, GN 
Docket No. 12-354, FCC 16-55, published at 81 FR 49024, July 26, 2016, 
stated that modifications to section 96.17(b) and section 96.3 would 
not become effective until after the Federal Register publication of 
the date that OMB approved the resulting modification of the 
information collections under the PRA and the effective date of such 
modifications. Because subsequent review and consultation with OMB has 
revealed that there is no existing clearance that will be modified by 
these rules, OMB review is not necessary. Thus, these rules may become 
effective immediately.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
