FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

[OMB 3060–XXXX; FRS 31630] 

Information Collection Being Reviewed 

by the Federal Communications 

Commission 

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 collection(s). 

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 comments should be 

submitted on or before August 16, 2021. 

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 contacts below as soon as 

possible. 

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to 

Cathy Williams, FCC, via email to 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–XXXX. 

Title: FCC Authorization for Radio 

Service License—3.45 GHz Band 

Service. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Type of Review: New collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities, state, local, or tribal 

government, and not for profit 

institutions. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 52 respondents, 8,197 

responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 5–20 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: Third party 

disclosure requirement; on occasion 

reporting requirement and periodic 

reporting requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for these collections are 

contained in 47 U.S.C. 151, 152, 154, 

154(i), 155(c), 157, 201, 202, 208, 214, 

301, 302a, 303, 307, 308, 309, 310, 311, 

314, 316, 319, 324, 331, 332, 333, 336, 

534, 535, and 554 of the 

Communications Act of 1934. 

Total Annual Burden: 9,198 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $10,353,000. 

Privacy Impact Assessment: No 

impacts. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

In general, there is no need for 

confidentiality with this collection of 

information. Insofar as confidential 

information is submitted to the 

Department of Defense as part of the 

coordination by 3.45 GHz Service 

licensees with Federal incumbents, the 

Department of Defense will ensure that 

information remains confidential. 

Needs and Uses: On March 17, 2021, 

the Federal Communications 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’ or ‘‘FCC’’) 

adopted a Second Report and Order, 

FCC 21–32, GN Docket No. WT–19–348 

(Second Report and Order) that 

establishes rules for flexible-use 

wireless access to the 100 megahertz in 

the 3450–3550 MHz (3.45 GHz) band, 

creating the new 3.45 GHz Service. The 

rules will create additional capacity for 

wireless broadband allowing full-power 

operations across the band in the entire 

contiguous United States, while also 

ensuring full protection of incumbent 

Federal operations remaining in 

particular locations. As part of this 

process, the Commission also adopted 

rules related to the relocation of 

incumbent non-Federal radiolocation 

operations, and reimbursement of 

expenses related to such relocation. 

Sections 2.016 and 27.1603 require a 

3.45 GHz Service licensee whose license 

area overlaps with a Cooperative 

Planning Area or Periodic Use Area, as 

defined in those sections, to coordinate 

deployments pursuant to those licenses 

in those areas with relevant Federal 

agencies. This coordination may take 

the form of a mutually acceptable 

operator-to-operator coordination 

agreement between the licensee and the 

relevant Federal agency. In the absence 

of such an agreement, this coordination 

will include a formal request for access 

through a Department of Defense online 

portal, which will include the 

submission of information related to the 

technical characteristics of the base 

stations and associated mobile units to 

be used in the covered area. It does not 

require a revision to the FCC Form 601. 

Section 27.1605 requires non-Federal, 

secondary radiolocation operations 

which are relocating from the 3.45 GHz 

band to alternate spectrum to clear the 

band for new flexible-use wireless 

operations to submit certain information 

to a clearinghouse in order to ensure 

their relocation costs are fairly 

reimbursed. It does not require a 

revision to the FCC Form 601. 

Section 27.1607 requires 3.45 GHz 

Service licensees to share certain 

information about their network 

operations in that band with operators 

in the adjacent Citizens Broadband 

Radio Service in order to enable the 

latter to synchronize their operations to 

reduce the risk of harmful interference. 

In response to a request by a Citizens 

Broadband Radio Service operator, a 

3.45 GHz Service licensee must provide 

information to enable Time Division 

Duplex synchronization. The exact 

nature of the information to be provided 

will be determined by a negotiation 

between the two entities, conducted on 

a good faith basis. The 3.45 GHz Service 

licensee must keep the information 

current as its network operations 

change. This does not require a revision 

to the FCC Form 601. 

Section 27.14(w) requires 3.45 GHz 

Service licensees to provide information 

on the extent to which they provide 

service in their license areas. Licensees 

are required to file two such reports:

The first four (4) years after its initial 

license grant and the second eight (8) 

years after such grant, unless they failed 

to meet the first set of performance 

requirements, in which case the second 

report is due seven (7) years after the 

initial grant. These reports are filed 

alongside the Form 601 and require no 

revisions to it.
