FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

[OMB 3060-1155]


Information Collection 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 the 
Commission) invites the general public and other Federal agencies to 
take this opportunity to comment on the following information 
collection. 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 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 Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) control number.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before February 
17, 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 
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#adfdffecedcbcece83cac2db"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="b5e5e7f4f5d3d6d69bd2dac3">[email protected]</span></a> and to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#b2f1d3c6dacb9ce5dbdededbd3dfc1f2d4d1d19cd5ddc4"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="652604110d1c4b320c09090c040816250306064b020a13">[email protected]</span></a>.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the 
information collection, contact Cathy Williams at (202) 418-2918.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control No.: 3060-1155.
    Title: Sections 15.713, 15.714, 15.715 and 15.717, TV White Space 
Broadcast Bands.
    Form No.: Not Applicable.
    Type of Review: Revision of an existing collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities; not-for-profit 
institutions; Federal government; and state, local or tribal 
government.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 2,000 respondents and 2,000 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 2.0 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement, 
recordkeeping requirement and third party disclosure requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The 
statutory authority for this collection of information is contained in 
47 U.S.C. 154(1), 302, 303(c), 303(f), and 307.
    Total Annual Burden: 4,000 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $100,000.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission is not 
requesting respondents to submit confidential information to the 
Commission. Respondents may request confidential treatment of such 
information under 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission's rules.
    Needs and Uses: On June 2, 2014, the Commission released a Second 
Report and Order, FCC 14-62, WT Docket Nos. 08-166 and 08-167 and ET 
Docket No. 10-24, ``Revisions to Rules Authorizing the Operation of Low 
Power Auxiliary Stations in the 698-806 MHz Band.'' This order expanded 
eligibility for low power auxiliary station licenses under Part 74 by 
adding two new categories of eligible entities: ``large venue owner or 
operator'' and ``professional sound company.'' The Commission is now 
requesting OMB approval for a revision of this information collection 
to increase by 200 the number of licensed low power auxiliary station 
operators who will be able to register in the database under 47 CFR 
15.713(h)(8) to reflect the estimated of number of entities that will 
become eligible for a license under the Second Report and Order and 
which will register in the database. Because these newly-eligible 
licensees would likely have been able to register on an unlicensed 
basis under 47 CFR 15.713(h)(9) (and now will register as licensees 
instead), the Commission is also decreasing by 200 the number of 
unlicensed low power auxiliary station operators who will register in 
the database on an unlicensed basis under 47 CFR 15.713 (h)(9).
    The Commission seeks Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval 
for a revised information collection for an increase in the number of 
LPAS licensees that will register under 47 CFR 15.713(h)(8) and a 
decrease in the number of unlicensed wireless microphone users that 
will register on an unlicensed basis under 47 CFR 15.713(h)(9).

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary, Office of the Secretary, Office of the Managing Director.
