antennas’ earth station operators. We 

have attached to DA 21–893 an 

Appendix listing this group of antennas. 

We hereby presume, on a rebuttable 

basis, that earth station antennas 

included in the Appendix attached to 

DA 21–893 are no longer operational. 

Section 25.161(c) of the Commission’s 

rules provides that an earth station 

authorization is automatically 

terminated if the station is not 

operational for more than 90 days.6 We 

also note that the Commission’s rules 

require earth station operators to take 

the steps necessary to remove nonoperational antennas from the active 

records in the IBFS.7 Moreover, under 

the Commission’s rules, antennas must 

continue to be operational to qualify for 

incumbent status.8

Incumbent earth station operators 

who need to affirm the continued 

operation of the identified earth station 

antennas. We direct earth station 

operators with incumbent earth station 

antennas that appear on the inactive list 

appended to DA 21–893 to make either 

of two filings no later than 90 days after 

release of this Notice (i.e., by October 

21, 2021): (1) File to remove those 

antennas from IBFS as no longer 

operational as required by Commission 

rule and optionally make a filing in 

ECFS IB Docket No. 20–205 confirming 

the extent to which they are 

surrendering or removing antennas in 

IBFS, or (2) file in ECFS IB Docket No. 

20–205 affirming that those antennas are 

still operational. An earth station 

operator may contact Bureau staff at 

IBFSINFO@fcc.gov if it has questions 

about the above or if it needs 

instructions on how to surrender entire 

Callsigns in IBFS or how to remove an 

inactive earth station antenna from a 

Callsign that includes other operational 

earth station antennas. 

Earth station operators with earth 

station antenna(s) on the inactive list in 

the Appendix to DA 21–893 that do not 

respond by October 21, 2021, affirming 

the continued operation of the 

identified earth station antennas will be 

deemed to have had the authorizations 

for those antennas automatically 

terminated by rule. Those 

authorizations will be terminated in 

IBFS, i.e., the IBFS records for those 

antennas will be shown with a 

terminated status. Such terminated 

earth stations will also be removed from 

the incumbent earth station list and will 

not be entitled to protection from 

interference from the network 

deployments of new wireless licenses or 

be eligible for reimbursement of any 

transition costs, including the cost of 

any filters, that those earth stations may 

decide to incur. Of course, 

notwithstanding an affirmation of 

continued operation, the Bureau retains 

the authority to eliminate an earth 

station antenna’s incumbent status if the 

Bureau receives additional evidence 

that the antenna has failed to satisfy 

applicable requirements for maintaining 

operation. 

Incumbent earth station operators 

who need to provide additional 

information to avoid harmful 

interference. Apart from the foregoing 

group of earth station operators for 

which RSM received affirmative 

representations of nonoperational 

status, in the July 14 RSM filing, RSM 

separately reported that it had identified 

a limited number of incumbent earth 

station operators with which it has been 

able to establish contact but has not 

been able to get enough information 

from the earth station operator for it to 

be included in a satellite operator 

transition plan or for RSM to conclude 

that the earth station is in fact 

participating in the transition process. 

Further outreach by RSM with the earth 

station operator has not been successful. 

Such earth station operators that do 

not provide the necessary information to 

the Relocation Coordinator or satellite 

operators may not be successfully 

transitioned before terrestrial wireless 

licensees initiate service in the band 

and, as a result, such earth station 

operators may experience harmful 

interference at their facilities as 

terrestrial wireless licensees deploy 

their networks.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Stephen Carroll, 817–253–7858, General 

Services Acquisition Policy Division, by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

The Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) 

of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) provides 

that an agency generally cannot conduct 

or sponsor a collection of information, 

and no person is required to respond to, 

nor be subject to, a penalty for failure 

to comply with a collection of 

information, unless that collection has 

obtained Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) approval and displays a 

currently valid OMB Control Number. 

Consistent with 5 CFR 1320.13, GSA 

requested and OMB authorized 

emergency processing of an information 

collection, as OMB Control Number 

3090–0324, to identify the immediate or 

highest-level owner of high-security 

leased space, including any financing 

entity, and disclose whether that owner 

or financing entity is a foreign person or 

entity, including the country associated 

with the ownership or financing entity 

through GSAR 552.270–33. GSA has 

determined the following conditions 

have been met: 

a. The collection of information is needed 

prior to the expiration of time periods 

normally associated with a routine 

submission for review under the provisions 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act, because the 

disclosure requirements of Section 3 of the 

Secure Federal LEASEs Act (Pub. L. 116–276) 

were effective on June 30, 2021. 

b. The collection of information is essential 

to GSA’s mission to ensure GSA complies 

with Section 3 in order to reduce security 

risks such as espionage and unauthorized 

cyber and physical access in high-security 

leased space. 

c. GSA cannot comply with the normal 

clearance procedures because public harm is 

reasonably likely to result if current 

clearance procedures are followed. 

This requirement supports 

implementation of Section 3 of the 

Secure Federal LEASEs Act (Pub. L. 

116–276) for high-security leased space. 

This section requires offerors to identify 

the immediate or highest-level owner of 

the space, including any financing 

entity, and disclose whether that owner 

or financing entity is a foreign person or 

entity, including the country associated 

with the ownership entity. The offerors 

shall (1) provide such identification and 

disclosure when first submitting a 

proposal in response to a solicitation; 

and, if awarded the lease, (2) update 

such information annually. 

This requirement is partially 

implemented in the Federal Acquisition 

Regulation (FAR) through the provisions 

at FAR 52.204–3, Taxpayer 

Identification, FAR 52.204–7, System 

for Award Management, FAR 52.204– 

17, Ownership and Control of Offeror, 

and clause at FAR 52.204–13, System 

for Award Management Maintenance. 

OMB Control Numbers 9000–0097 and 

9000–0185 cover the FAR provisions 

and clause. However, the FAR does not 

account for foreign financing as required 

by the Act. 

B. Annual Reporting Burden 

This information collection applies to 

GSA lease procurements for highsecurity space. The annual public 

reporting burden for this collection of 

information through GSAR 552.270–33 

is estimated based on the time for 

reviewing instructions, searching 

existing data sources, gathering and 

maintaining the data needed, and 

completing and reviewing the collection 

of information. 

The annual reporting burden is 

estimated as follows: 

1. Initial Disclosure 

Baseline Representation 

Estimated annual responses: 542. 

Estimated hours per response: 2. 

Additional Representation 

Estimated annual responses: 54. 

Estimated hours per response: 10. 

Total Initial Response Burden Hours: 

1,624. 

2. Annual Updates 

Estimated annual responses: 542. 

Estimated hours per response: 0.25. 

Total Update Response Burden Hours: 

136. 

C. Public Comments 

Public comments are particularly 

invited on: Whether this collection of 

information is necessary; whether it will 

have practical utility; whether our 

estimate of the public burden of this 

collection of information is accurate, 

and based on valid assumptions and 

methodology; ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and ways in 

which we can minimize the burden of 

the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, through the use of 

appropriate technological collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology.
