FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

[OMB 3060–1013] 

Information Collections 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 (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501– 

3520), 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 collections. 

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 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 PRA comments should 

be submitted on or before December 15, 

2014. 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 contact listed below as soon 

as possible. 

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to 

Cathy Williams, FCC, via email 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 No.: 3060–0768. 

Title: 28 GHz Band Segmentation Plan 

Amending the Commission’s Rules to 

Redesignate the 27.5–29.5 GHz 

Frequency Band, to Reallocate the 29.5 

to 30.0 GHz Frequency Band and to 

Establish Rules and Policies. 

Form No.: None. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit. 

Number of Respondents/Responses: 

17 respondents; 17 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 2 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement; third-party 

disclosure requirement. 

Obligation To Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. The statutory 

authority for this information collection 

is contained in 47 U.S.C. 154 and 303. 

Total Annual Burden: 34 hours. 

Annual Cost Burden: $4,950. 

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: The Federal 

Communications Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) is requesting a revision 

of the information collection titled, ‘‘28 

GHz Band’’ under OMB Control No. 

3060–0768 from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB). 

The purpose of the revision is to 

remove the information collection 

requirements that are contained under 

47 CFR Sections 25.203, 25.250, 25.257 

and 25.258 from OMB Control No. 

3060–0768 because they were 

consolidated under OMB Control No. 

3060–0678. The consolidation was 

approved by OMB on August 15, 2014. 

The information collection 

requirements which remain in this 

collection require are as follows: (1) 

Local Multipoint Distribution Systems 

(LMDS) licensees to serve copies of their 

applications on all Non-Geostationary 

Mobile Satellite Service (NGSO/MSS) 

applicants (Section 101.147) and (2) 

NGSO/MSS feeder link earth stations 

must specify a set of geographic 

coordinates for location of these earth 

stations, 15 days after the release of a 

public notice announcing 

commencement of LMDS auctions 

(Section 101.147). 

The information is used by the 

Commission and other applicants and/ 

or licensees in the 28 GHz band to 

facilitate technical coordination of 

systems among applicants and/or 

licensees in the 28 GHz band. Without 

such information, the Commission 

could not implement the Commission’s 

band plan. 

Affected applicants and licensees are 

required to provide the requested 

information to the Commission and 

other third parties whenever they seek 

authority to provide service in the 28 

GHz band. The frequency of filing is, in 

general, determined by the applicant or 

licensees. If this information is 

compiled less frequently or not filed in 

conjunction with our rules, applicants 

and licensees will not obtain the 

authorization necessary to provide 

telecommunications services. 

Furthermore, the Commission would 

not be able to carry out its mandate as 

required by statute and applicants and 

licensees would not be able to provide 

service effectively. 

OMB Control No.: 3060–1013.

period has ended in order to obtain the 

full three-year clearance from OMB. 

The purpose of the revision is to 

remove the information collection 

requirements that are Section 47 CFR 

25.114 from OMB Control No. 3060– 

1013 since they were consolidated in 

3060–0678. OMB approved the 

consolidation on August 15, 2014. 

Orbital debris consists of artificial 

objects orbiting the Earth that are not 

functional spacecraft. It consists of a 

wide range of non-functioning manmade objects that have been placed in 

the Earth’s orbit, both accidentally and 

on purpose. Orbital debris consists of 

small objects such as paint flakes, 

discarded lens caps, ejected bolts and 

pieces of debris from exploded 

spacecraft and rocket bodies. Since 

human activity in space began, there has 

been a steady growth in the number and 

total mass of orbital debris. Once 

created, debris remains in orbit 

indefinitely, absent other forces. Growth 

in the orbital debris population may 

limit the usefulness of space for 

communications and other uses in the 

future by raising the costs and lowering 

the reliability of space based systems. 

Furthermore, the effects of collisions 

involving orbital debris can be 

catastrophic and may cause significant 

damage to functional spacecraft or to 

persons or property on the surface of the 

Earth, if the debris re-enters the Earth’s 

atmosphere in an uncontrolled manner. 

The information collection 

requirements accounted for in this 

collection are necessary to mitigate the 

potential harmful effects of orbital 

debris accumulation. Without such 

information collection requirements, the 

growth in the orbital debris population 

may limit the usefulness of space for 

communications and other uses in the 

future by raising the costs and lowering 

the reliability of experimental and 

amateur systems. Furthermore, the 

effects of collisions involving orbital 

debris can be catastrophic and may 

cause significant damage to functional 

spacecraft or to persons or property on 

the surface of the Earth, if the debris reenters the Earth’s atmosphere in an 

uncontrolled manner. 

OMB Control No.: 3060–1108. 

Title: Consummation of Assignments 

and Transfers of Control of 

Authorization. 

Form No.: N/A. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities. 

Number of Respondents: 163 

respondents; 163 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour. 

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 Sections 47 U.S.C. 

154(i). 

Total Annual Burden: 163 hours. 

Annual Cost Burden: $48,900. 

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: This collection will 

be submitted to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) as a 

revision after this 60 day comment 

period has ended in order to obtain the 

full three-year clearance from OMB. 

The purpose of the revision is to 

remove the information collection 

requirements that are contained in 

Section 47 CFR 25.119 from OMB 

Control No. 3060–1108. The information 

collection requirements were 

consolidated into collection 3060–0678. 

OMB approved the consolidation on 

August 15, 2014. 

A consummation is a party’s 

notification to the Commission that a 

transaction (assignment or transfer of 

control of authorization) has been 

completed. A consummation is 

applicable to all international 

telecommunications and satellite 

services, such as International High 

Frequency (IHF), Section 214 

Applications (ITC), and Submarine 

Cable Landing Licenses (SCL). 

Without this collection of 

information, the Commission would not 

have critical information such as a 

change in a controlling interest in the 

ownership of the licensee. The 

Commission would not be able to carry 

out its duties under the 

Communications Act and to determine 

the qualifications of applicants to 

provide international 

telecommunications service, including 

applicants that are affiliated with 

foreign entities, and to determine 

whether and under what conditions the 

authorizations are in the public interest, 

convenience, and necessity. 

Furthermore, without this collection of 

information, the Commission would not 

be able to maintain effective oversight of 

U.S. providers of international 

telecommunications services that are 

affiliated with, or involved in certain comarketing or similar arrangements with, 

foreign entities that have market power.
