Communications Commission (FCC or

quality, utility, and clarity of the

displays a currently valid Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) control

a collection of information subject to the 

PRA that does not display a valid OMB

opportunity to comment on the 

following information collections.

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

OMB Control Number: 3060–1070. 

Title: Allocation and Service Rules for 

the 71–76 GHz, 81–86 GHz, and 92–95 

GHz Bands. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities; not-for-profit institutions; 

and State, local, or Tribal Government. 

Number of Respondents: 1,177 

respondents; 19,604 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 5.25 

hours to 8ours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement, recordkeeping 

requirement, and third-party disclosure 

requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this information collection 

is contained 47 U.S.C. 151, 154(i), 302a, 

303(c), 303(f), and 303(r) of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended. 

Total Annual Burden: 14,347 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $200,000. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission is 

revising this information collection and 

would like to obtain the full three-year 

approval from OMB. The Commission 

adopted a new Report and Order, FCC 

24–16, in WT Docket No. 20–133 

entitled ‘‘Modernizing and Expanding 

Access to the 70/80/90 GHz Bands’’ 

(‘‘Report and Order’’). The Report and 

Order was subsequently released on 

January 26, 2024, and published in the 

Federal Register on April 29, 2024. 

Relevant to Control No. 3060–1070, the 

Report and Order adopted the following 

Commission rules: section 101.63(b); 

section 101.1523(a) and (e); and section 

101.1528(a)(11), (b)(10), and (d). There 

are program changes to the reporting, 

recordkeeping and/or third-party 

disclosure requirements and the 

Commission estimates an increase in 

nationwide licensees. The 

recordkeeping, reporting, and third 

party disclosure requirements will be 

used by the Commission to verify 

licensee compliance with the 

Commission rules and regulations, and 

to ensure that licensees continue to 

fulfill their statutory responsibilities in 

accordance with the Communications 

Act of 1934. The Commission’s rules 

promote the private sector development 

and use of 71–76 GHz, 81–86 GHz, and 

92–95 GHz bands (70/80/90 GHz bands). 

Such information has been used in the 

past and will continue to be used to 

minimize interference, verify that 

applicants are legally and technically 

qualified to hold license, and to 

determine compliance with Commission 

rules. 

Federal Communications Commission.
