FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

[OMB 3060–0600] 

Information Collection Being Reviewed 

by the Federal Communications 

Commission Under Delegated 

Authority 

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 January 20, 

2015. 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 Number: 3060–0600. 

Title: Application to Participate in an 

FCC Auction, FCC 175. 

Form Number: FCC Form 175. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

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

and state, local or tribal governments. 

Estimated Number of Respondents 

and Responses: 500 respondents and 

500 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 90 

minutes (estimated average time for 

respondents to report information 

requested on FCC Form 175). 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirements. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for the currently approved 

information collection is contained in 

sections 154(i), 309(j)(5), and 1404 of 

the Communications Act, as amended, 

47 U.S.C. sections 4(i), 309(j)(5), 1404, 

and sections 1.2105, 1.2110, 1.2112, 

2.106, US note 91, and 27.1134(f) of the 

Commission’s rules, 47 CFR sections 

1.2105, 1.2110, 1.2112, 2.106, US note 

91, and 27.1134(f). 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 750 

hours. 

Total Annual Costs: No costs. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

Information collected on FCC Form 175 

is made available for public inspection, 

and the Commission is not requesting 

that respondents submit confidential 

information on FCC Form 175. 

Respondents seeking to have 

information collected on FCC Form 175 

withheld from public inspection may 

request confidential treatment of such 

information pursuant to section 0.459 of 

the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR Section 

0.459. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No 

impact(s). 

Needs and Uses: A request for 

extension of this information collection 

(no change in requirements) 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. The 

Commission’s auction rules and 

requirements are designed to ensure that 

the competitive bidding process is 

limited to serious qualified applicants, 

deter possible abuse of the bidding and 

licensing process, and enhance the use 

of competitive bidding to assign 

Commission licenses in furtherance of 

the public interest. The information 

collected on FCC Form 175 is used by 

the Commission to determine if an 

applicant is legally, technically, and 

financially qualified to participate in a 

Commission auction. Additionally, if an 

applicant applies for status as a 

particular type of auction participant 

pursuant to Commission rules, the 

Commission uses information collected 

on Form 175 to determine whether the 

applicant is eligible for the status 

requested. Commission staff reviews the 

information collected on FCC Form 175 

for a particular auction as part of the 

pre-auction process, prior to the auction 

being held. Staff determines whether 

each applicant satisfies the 

Commission’s requirements to 

participate in the auction and, if 

applicable, is eligible for the status as a 

particular type of auction participant it 

requested. 47 CFR sections 2.106, US 

note 91 and 27.1134(f) require 

commercial licensees in the 1755–1780 

MHz band to operate on a co-equal, 

primary operations with Federal 

systems within specified geographic 

zones and require such licensees to 

accept interference from Federal 

systems as long as such systems remain 

in the band. To implement these 

requirements, an applicant in any 

auction for licenses in the 1755–1780 

MHz band will be required to submit a 

signed statement with its FCC Form 175 

acknowledging these requirements. The 

information collected under this 

requirement will enable the 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 225 / Friday, November 21, 2014 / Notices 69475 

Commission to confirm that an auction 

applicant understands its specific 

obligations with respect to Federal 

incumbent users and systems in the 

1755–1780 MHz frequency band should 

it ultimately become licensed in this 

band. The Commission plans to 

continue to use the FCC Form 175 for 

all upcoming spectrum auctions, 

collecting only the information 

necessary for each particular auction. 

Thus, the signed acknowledgement 

statement that is the subject of this 

collection will not be required for all 

auctions, and will only be used in 

auctions of licenses in the 1755–1780 

MHz band.

Speech-to-Speech Services for 

Individuals with Hearing and Speech 

Disabilities, CC Docket No. 98–67, 

Declaratory Ruling, 68 FR 55898,

telecommunications relay service (TRS) 

and that eligible providers of such 

services are eligible to recover their 

costs from the Interstate TRS Fund 

(Fund) in accordance with section 225 

of the Communications Act. The 

Commission also clarified that certain 

TRS mandatory minimum standards do 

not apply to one-line captioned
