Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 12 / Thursday, January 18, 2018 / Notices 2637 

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.

change in the reporting and/or 

recordkeeping requirements). The 

Commission will submit this 

information collection after this 60-day 

comment period to the OMB. The 

Commission adopted accounting rules 

that require carriers to account for 

adverse federal antitrust judgments and 

post-judgment special charges. With 

regard to settlements of such lawsuits 

there will be a presumption that carriers 

can recover the portion of the settlement 

that represents the avoidable costs of 

litigation; provided that the carrier 

makes a required showing. To receive 

recognition of its avoided cost of 

litigation a carrier must demonstrate, in 

a request for special relief, the avoided 

costs of litigation by showing the 

amount corresponding to the additional 

litigation expenses discounted to 

present value, that the carrier 

reasonably estimates it would have paid 

if it had not settled. Settlement costs in 

excess of the avoided costs of litigation 

are presumed not recoverable unless a 

carrier rebuts that presumption by 

showing the basic factors that enticed 

the carrier to settle and demonstrating 

that ratepayers benefited from the 

settlement.

Total Annual Cost: $560,000. 

Privacy Impact Assessment: No 

impact(s). 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

There is no need for confidentiality with 

this information collection. 

Needs and Uses: The Restoring 

Internet Freedom Report and Order 

(Restoring Internet Freedom Order) 

revises the information collection 

requirements applicable to internet 

service providers (ISPs). The Open 

Internet Order, adopted in 2010, 

required ISPs to disclose certain 

network management processes, 

performance characteristics, and other 

attributes of broadband internet access 

service. These disclosure requirements 

were significantly increased by the Title 

II Order, adopted in 2015. The Restoring 

Internet Freedom Order eliminates the 

additional collection imposed by the 

Title II Order and adds a few discrete 

elements to the Open Internet Order’s 

information collection requirements. 

The Restoring Internet Freedom Order 

requires an ISP to publicly disclose 

network management practices, 

performance, and commercial terms of 

its broadband internet access service 

sufficient to enable consumers to make 

informed choices regarding the 

purchase and use of such services, and 

entrepreneurs and other small 

businesses to develop, market, and 

maintain internet offerings. As part of 

these disclosures, the rule requires ISPs 

to disclose their congestion 

management, application-specific 

behavior, device attachment rules, and 

security practices, as well as any 

blocking, throttling, affiliated 

prioritization, or paid prioritization in 

which they engage. The rule also 

requires ISPs to disclose performance 

characteristics, including a service 

description and the impact of nonbroadband internet access services data 

services. Finally, the rule requires ISPs 

to disclose the price of the service,
