FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

[OMB 3060–0441] 

Information Collection Being Reviewed 

by the Federal Communications 

Commission Under Delegated 

Authority 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort 

to reduce paperwork burdens, and as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995 (PRA), the Federal 

Communications Commission (FCC or 

Commission) invites the general public 

and other Federal agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on the 

following information collections. 

Comments are requested concerning: 

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; 

the accuracy of the Commission’s 

burden estimate; ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collected; 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; and ways to 

further reduce the information 

collection burden on small business 

concerns with fewer than 25 employees. 

The FCC 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. 

DATES: Written PRA comments should 

be submitted on or before March 19, 

2018. If you anticipate that you will be 

submitting comments, but find it 

difficult to do so within the period of 

time allowed by this notice, you should 

advise the contact listed below as soon 

as possible. 

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to 

Cathy Williams, FCC, via email PRA@

fcc.gov and to Cathy.Williams@fcc.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

additional information about the 

information collection, contact Cathy 

Williams at (202) 418–2918. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0441. 

Title: Section 90.621, Selection and 

Assignment of Frequencies and Section 

90.693, Grandfathering Provisions for 

Incumbent Licensees. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities; Not-for-profit 

institutions; and State, Local, or Tribal 

Government. 

Number of Respondents: 50 

respondents; 50 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 1.5 

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. Sections 154(i) 

and 309(j). 

Total Annual Burden: 75 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $6,250. 

Privacy Impact Assessment: No 

impact(s). 

Needs and Uses: Section 90.621(b)(4) 

allows stations to be licensed at 

distances less than those prescribed in 

the Short-Spacing Separation Table 

where applicants ‘‘secure a waiver.’’ 

Applicants seeking a waiver in these 

circumstances are still required to 

submit with their application an 

interference analysis, based upon any of 

the generally-accepted terrain-based 

propagation models, demonstrating that 

co-channel stations would receive the 

same or greater interference protection 

than provided in the Short-Spacing 

Separation Table. 

Section 90.621(b)(5) permits stations 

to be located closer than the required 

separation, so long as the applicant 

provides letters of concurrence 

indicating that the applicant and each 

co-channel licensee within the specified 

separation agree to accept any 

interference resulting from the reduced 

separation between systems. Applicants 

are still required to file such 

concurrence letters with the 

Commission. Additionally, the 

Commission did not eliminate filings 

required by provisions such as 

international agreements, its 

environmental (National Environmental 

Protection Act (NEPA)) rules, its 

antenna structure registration rules, or 

quiet zone notification/filing 

procedures. 

Section 90.693 requires that 800 MHz 

incumbent Specialized Mobile Radio 

(SMR) service licensees ‘‘notify the 

Commission within 30 days of any 

changes in technical parameters or 

additional stations constructed that fall 

within the short-spacing criteria.’’ It has 

been standard practice for incumbents 

to notify the Commission of all changes 

and additional stations constructed in 

cases where such stations are in fact 

located less than the required 70 mile 

distance separation, and are therefore 

technically ‘‘short-spaced,’’ but are in 

fact fully compliant with the parameters 

of the Commission’s Short-Spacing 

Separation Table. 

The Commission uses this 

information to determine whether to 

grant licenses to applicants making 

‘‘minor modifications’’ to their systems 

which do not satisfy mileage separation 

requirements pursuant to the ShortSpacing Separation Table.
