subject to the PRA that does not display 

a valid OMB control number. 

As part of its continuing effort to 

reduce paperwork burdens, as required 

by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) 

of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), the FCC 

invited the general public and other 

Federal Agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on the 

following information collection. 

Comments are requested concerning: (a) 

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; 

(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s 

burden estimates; (c) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collected; and (d) 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. Pursuant to the 

Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of 

2002, Public Law 107–198, see 44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(4), the FCC seeks specific 

comment on how it might ‘‘further

burden for small business concerns with 

fewer than 25 employees.’’ 

OMB Control Number: 3060–1013. 

Title: Mitigation of Orbital Debris. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Type of Review: Revision of an 

existing collection. 

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

Number of Respondents: 46 

respondents; 46 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 8 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. The statutory 

authority for this information collection 

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

301, 303, 307, 308, 309, and 310. 

Total Annual Burden: 368 hours. 

Annual Cost Burden: $88,550. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No 

impact(s). 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

In general, there is no need for 

confidentiality with this collection of 

information. 

Needs and Uses: On April 24, 2020, 

the Commission released a Report and 

Order, FCC 20–54, IB Docket No. 18– 

313, titled ‘‘Mitigation of Orbital Debris 

in the New Space Age’’ (Orbital Debris 

Report and Order). In this Orbital Debris 

Report and Order, the Commission 

updated its rules related to orbital 

debris mitigation, including application 

requirements. The new rules are 

designed to ensure that the 

Commission’s actions concerning radio 

communications, including licensing 

U.S. spacecraft and granting access to 

the U.S. market for non-U.S. spacecraft, 

mitigate the growth of orbital debris, 

while at the same time not creating 

undue regulatory obstacles to new 

satellite ventures. The action will help 

to ensure that Commission decisions are 

consistent with the public interest in 

space remaining viable for future 

satellites and systems and the many 

services that those systems provide to 

the public. The rule revisions also 

provide additional detail to applicants 

on what information is expected under 

the Commission’s rules, which can help 

to increase certainty in the application 

filing process. While this information 

collection represents an overall increase 

in the burden hours, the information 

collection serves the public interest by 

ensuring that the Commission and 

public have necessary information about 

satellite applicants’ plans for mitigation 

of orbital debris. 

Specifically, FCC 20–54 contains the 

new or modified information collection 

requirements listed below, applicable to 

applicants seeking experimental 

licenses for satellite operations under 

part 5 of the Commission’s rules, as well 

as to license grantees under part 97 

submitting notifications to the 

Commission prior to launch of a 

satellite amateur station: 

(1) Existing disclosure requirements 

have been revised to include specific 

metrics in several areas, including: 

Probability that the space stations will 

become a source of debris by collision 

with small debris and meteoroids that 

would cause loss of control and prevent 

disposal; probability of collision 

between any non-geostationary orbit 

(NGSO) space station and other large 

objects; and casualty risk associated 

with any individual spacecraft that will 

be disposed by atmospheric re-entry. 

(2) Where relevant, the disclosures 

must include the following: Use of 

separate deployment devices, distinct 

from the space station launch vehicle, 

that may become a source of orbital 

debris; potential release of liquids that 

will persist in droplet form; and any 

planned proximity operations and 

debris generation that will or may result 

from the proposed operations, including 

any planned release of debris, the risk 

of accidental explosions, the risk of 

accidental collision, and measures taken 

to mitigate those risks. 

(3) The existing disclosure 

requirement to analyze potential 

collision risk associated with space 

station(s) orbits has been modified to 

specify that the disclosure identify 

characteristics of the space station(s)’ 

orbits that may present a collision risk, 

including any planned and/or 

operational space stations in those 

orbits, and indicate what steps, if any, 

have been taken to coordinate with the 

other spacecraft or system, or what other 

measures the operator plans to use to 

avoid collision. 

(4) For NGSO space stations that will 

transit through the orbits used by any 

inhabitable spacecraft, including the 

International Space Station, the 

disclosure must include the design and 

operational strategies, if any, that will 

be used to minimize the risk of collision 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 107 / Monday, June 7, 2021 / Notices 30317 

and avoid posing any operational 

constraints to the inhabitable spacecraft. 

(5) The disclosure must include a 

certification that upon receipt of a space 

situational awareness conjunction 

warning, the operator will review and 

take all possible steps to assess the 

collision risk, and will mitigate the 

collision risk if necessary. As 

appropriate, steps to assess and mitigate 

the collision risk should include, but are 

not limited to: Contacting the operator 

of any active spacecraft involved in 

such a warning; sharing ephemeris data 

and other appropriate operational 

information with any such operator; and 

modifying space station attitude and/or 

operations. 

(6) For NGSO space stations the 

disclosure must describe the extent of 

satellite maneuverability. 

(7) The disclosure must address 

trackability of the space station(s). For 

NGSO space stations the disclosure 

must also include: (a) How the operator 

plans to identify the space station(s) 

following deployment and whether the 

space station tracking will be active or 

passive; (b) whether, prior to 

deployment the space station(s) will be 

registered with the 18th Space Control 

Squadron or successor entity; and (c) 

the extent to which the space station 

operator plans to share information 

regarding initial deployment, 

ephemeris, and/or planned maneuvers 

with the 18th Space Control Squadron 

or successor entity, other entities that 

engage in space situational awareness or 

space traffic management functions, 

and/or other operators. 

(8) For NGSO space stations, 

additional disclosures must be provided 

regarding spacecraft disposal, including, 

for some space stations, a demonstration 

that the probability of success of the 

chosen disposal method is 0.9 or greater 

for any individual space station, and for 

multi-satellite systems, a demonstration 

including additional information 

regarding efforts to achieve a higher 

probability of success. 

These information collection 

requirements are contained in 47 CFR 

5.64 and 47 CFR 97.207.

Title: Legacy High-Cost Support 

Recipient Initial Report of Current 

Service Offerings. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Type of Review: New information 

collection. 

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

and state, local or tribal governments. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: Up to 110 respondents and 

110 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 16 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: One-time 

reporting requirement.

authority for this information collection 

is contained in 47 U.S.C. 154, 254 and 

303(r). 

Total Annual Burden: 1,760 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: No cost. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

Most of the information collected under 

this collection will be made publicly 

available. However, in recognition of the 

fact that a carrier may consider the 

infrastructure information required to be 

submitted as part of its initial report to 

be sensitive, such infrastructure 

information will be treated as 

presumptively confidential by the 

Commission and the Universal Service 

Administrative Company (USAC) and 

withheld from public inspection, 

although USAC will provide these data 

to the Commission and the relevant 

state, territory, and Tribal governmental 

entities that have jurisdiction over a 

particular service area, as applicable. To 

the extent that a respondent seeks to 

have other information collected in 

response to this information collection 

withheld from public inspection, the 

respondent may request confidential 

treatment pursuant to 47 CFR 0.459 of 

the Commission’s rules. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No 

impact(s). 

Needs and Uses: A request for 

approval of this new information 

collection will be submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) after this 60-day comment period 

in order to obtain the full three-year 

clearance from OMB. 

On November 18, 2011, the 

Commission released the USF/ICC 

transformation Order (FCC 11–161) in 

which it comprehensively reformed and 

modernized the universal service and 

intercarrier compensation systems to 

ensure that robust, affordable voice and 

broadband service, both fixed and 

mobile, are available to Americans 

throughout the nation. In the USF/ICC 

Transformation Order, the Commission, 

among other things, adopted a 

requirement that all eligible 

telecommunications carriers (ETCs) 

offer broadband service in their 

supported area that meets certain basic 

performance requirements and report 

regularly on associated performance 

measures as a condition of receiving 

federal high-cost universal service 

support. 

On October 27, 2020, the Commission 

adopted the 5G Fund Report and Order 

(FCC 20–150) in which it, among other 

things, helped to complete the reform of 

the high-cost program begun in the 

USF/ICC Transformation Order by 

adopting additional public interest 

obligations and performance 

requirements for legacy high-cost 

support recipients, whose broadbandspecific public interest obligations for 

mobile wireless services were not 

previously detailed. The public interest 

obligations adopted in the 5G Fund 

Report and Order for each competitive 

ETC receiving legacy high-cost support 

for mobile wireless services require that 

such competitive ETC (1) use an 

increasing percentage of its legacy 

support toward the deployment, 

maintenance, and operation of voice 

and broadband networks that support 

5G meeting the adopted performance 

requirements within its subsidized 

service area(s), and (2) meet specific 5G 

broadband service deployment coverage 

requirements and service deployment 

milestone deadlines that take into 

consideration the amount of legacy 

support the carrier receives. 

In order to gain a complete 

understanding of the current service 

offerings of each competitive ETC 

receiving legacy high-cost support for 

mobile wireless services, the 

Commission adopted rules that require 

each such competitive ETC to file an 

initial report containing information 

and certifications about (1) its current 

mobile service offerings in each of its 

subsidized service areas and how it is 

using legacy support, (2) whether it is 

offering mobile services in its 

subsidized service areas at rates that are 

reasonably comparable to those charged 

in urban areas, and (3) whether it has 

availed itself of the geographic 

flexibility granted by the Commission 

concerning its use of support within any 

other designated service area(s) for 

which it or an affiliated competitive 

ETC receives legacy support. See 47 

CFR 54.313(p), 54.322(g), (h). The 

information and certifications provided 

in these initial reports will be used by 

the Commission to ensure that 

competitive ETCs receiving legacy highcost support for mobile wireless services 

deploy 5G service by in their subsidized 

service areas consistent with the rules 

adopted by the Commission in the 5G 

Fund Report and Order.
