This information collection contains 

personally identifiable information on 

individuals which is subject to the 

Privacy Act of 1974. Information on the 

FCC Form 854 is maintained in the 

Commission’s System of Records, FCC/ 

WTB–1, ‘‘Wireless Services Licensing 

Records.’’ These licensee records are 

publicly available and routinely used in 

accordance of subsection b of the 

Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a(b), as 

amended. Taxpayer Identification

afforded confidential treatment 

pursuant to a request made under 47 

CFR 0.459 of the Commission’s rules 

will not be available for public 

inspection. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

Respondents may request materials or 

information submitted to the 

Commission be withheld from public 

inspection under 47 CFR 0.459 of the 

Commission’s rules. 

The Commission has in place the 

following policy and procedures for 

records retention and disposal: Records 

will be actively maintained as long as 

the entity remains a tower owner. Paper 

records will be archived after being 

keyed or scanned into the Antenna 

Structure Registration (ASR) database 

and destroyed when twelve (12) years 

old. 

Needs and Uses: As discussed below, 

the Commission is revising the FCC 

Form 854 to implement measures 

adopted in a recent Report and Order, 

and is seeking Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) approval for this 

information collection as revised. The 

Commission is also reporting an 

adjustment in the annual burden and 

annual cost due to an increase in the 

number of responses and minor 

increases in hourly wages. After the 

comment period, the Commission will 

submit the revised information 

collection to OMB to obtain the full 

three year clearance. 

The purpose of the FCC Form 854 is 

to register antenna structures (radio 

towers) that are used for communication 

services regulated by the Commission; 

to make changes to existing antenna 

structure registrations or pending 

applications for registration; or to notify 

the Commission of the completion of 

construction or dismantlement of such 

structures, as required by Title 47 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 

Chapter 1. In addition, for proposed 

new antenna structures, the FCC Form 

854 is used to facilitate a preapplication public notification process, 

including a required 30-day period of 

local and national notice to provide 

members of the public with a 

meaningful opportunity to comment on 

the environmental effects of proposed 

antenna structures that require 

registration with the Commission. 

The Commission is revising this 

current information collection due to 

the adoption of FCC 14–153, Report and 

Order, which altered the public 

notification process for certain 

temporary towers. In the Report and 

Order, the Commission adopted a 

narrow exemption from the public 

notification process for proposed 

temporary antenna structures meeting 

defined criteria, including limits on the 

size and duration of the installation, 

that greatly reduce the likelihood of any 

significant environmental effects. 

Specifically, the exemption from the 

environmental notification process 

applies only to temporary antenna 

structures that: (1) Do not require an 

Environmental Assessment under the 

Commission’s rules; (2) will be in place 

for 60 days or less; (3) require notice of 

construction to the Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA); (4) do not 

require marking or lighting under FAA 

regulations; (5) will be less than 200 feet 

above ground level; and (6) will involve 

minimal or no ground excavation. The 

Report and Order also provided that 

applicants may request and obtain a 

single extension of up to 60 additional 

days upon an appropriate showing. 

As a result, the FCC Form 854 is being 

revised to permit applicants to indicate 

that they are claiming the new 

exemption and certify that they meet the 

relevant requirements, and to request an 

extension. These changes are necessary 

to implement the new exemption from 

the public notification process for 

temporary antenna structures. They will 

therefore enable the Commission to 

more efficiently process antenna 

structure registrations and, by allowing 

licensees to deploy covered temporary 

structures without first having to 

complete the notification process, will 

enable them to more effectively respond 

to emergencies, natural disasters, and 

other planned and unplanned shortterm spikes in demand without 

undermining the purposes of the 

notification process.

Title: Acceleration of Broadband 

Deployment by Improving Wireless 

Facilities Siting Policies. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Type of Review: New collection. 

Respondents: Individuals or 

households, business or other for-profit 

entities, not-for-profit institutions and 

State, local or Tribal governments. 

Number of Respondents: 1,350 

respondents; 3,597 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: .5 

hours to 1 hour. 

Frequency of Response: Third-party 

disclosure reporting requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this information collection 

is contained in Sections 1, 2, 4(i), 7, 201, 

301, 303, and 309 of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended, and Sections 6003, 6213, and 

6409(a) of the Middle Class Tax Relief 

and Job Creation Act of 2012, Pub. L. 

No. 112–96, 126 Stat. 156, 47 U.S.C. 

151, 152, 154(i), 157, 201, 301, 303, 309, 

1403, 1433, and 1455(a). 

Total Annual Burden: 3,535 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: None. 

Privacy Impact Assessment: This 

information collection may affect 

individuals or households. However, 

the information collection consists of 

third-party disclosures in which the 

Commission has no direct involvement. 

Personally identifiable information (PII) 

is not being collected by, made available 

to, or made accessible by the 

Commission. There are no additional 

impacts under the Privacy Act. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

No known confidentiality between third 

parties. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this information collection 

for approval after the comment period to 

obtain the full three year clearance from 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB). The Commission is requesting 

OMB approval for new disclosure 

requirements pertaining to Subpart CC 

of Part 1 of the Commission’s rules. This 

Subpart was adopted to implement and 

enforce Section 6409(a) of the Middle 

Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 

2012. Section 6409(a) provides, in part, 

that ‘‘a State or local government may 

not deny, and shall approve, any 

eligible facilities request for a 

modification of an existing wireless 

tower or base station that does not 

substantially change the physical 

dimensions of such tower or base 

station.’’ 47 U.S.C. 1455(a)(1). In 

Subpart CC, the Commission adopted 

definitions of ambiguous terms, 

procedural requirements, and remedies 

to provide guidance to all stakeholders 

on the proper interpretation of the 

provision and to enforce its 

requirements, reducing delays in the 

review process for wireless 

infrastructure modifications and 

facilitating the rapid deployment of 

wireless infrastructure. 

The following are the information 

collection requirements in connection 

with Subpart CC of Part 1 of the 

Commission’s rules: 

• 47 CFR 1.40001(c)(3)(i)—To toll the 

60-day review timeframe on grounds 

that an application is incomplete, the 

reviewing State or local government 

must provide written notice to the 

applicant within 30 days of receipt of 

the application, clearly and specifically 

delineating all missing documents or 

information. Such delineated 

information is limited to documents or 

information meeting the standard under 

paragraph (c)(1) of Section 1.140001. 

• 47 CFR 1.140001(c)(3)(iii)— 

Following a supplemental submission 

from the applicant, the State or local 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

69474 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 225 / Friday, November 21, 2014 / Notices 

government will have 10 days to notify 

the applicant in writing if the 

supplemental submission did not 

provide the information identified in 

the State or local government’s original 

notice delineating missing information. 

The timeframe for review is tolled in the 

case of second or subsequent notices of 

incompleteness pursuant to the 

procedures identified in paragraph 

(c)(3). Second or subsequent notices of 

incompleteness may not specify missing 

documents or information that were not 

delineated in the original notice of 

incompleteness. 

• 47 CFR 1.140001(c)(4)—If a request 

is deemed granted because of a failure 

to timely approve or deny the request, 

the deemed grant does not become 

effective until the applicant notifies the 

applicable reviewing authority in 

writing after the review period has 

expired (accounting for any tolling) that 

the application has been deemed 

granted. 

These collections are necessary to 

effectuate the rule changes that 

implement and enforce the 

requirements of Section 6409(a).

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
