Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012, Pub. L. 112-96, 
126 Stat. 156, 47 U.S.C. 151, 152, 154(i), 157, 201, 301, 303, 309,

    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: No known confidentiality

    Needs and Uses: The Commission is requesting OMB approval for new

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 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).

Federal Communications Commission.

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