1.140001(c)(3)(iii), and 1.140001(c)(4). Under 5 CFR part 1320, an 
agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it 
displays a current, valid OMB Control Number. No person shall be 
subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of 
information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act that does not 
display a current, valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Number is 
3060-1208.
    The foregoing notice is required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995, Public Law 104-13, October 1, 1995, and 44 U.S.C. 3507.
    The total annual reporting burdens and costs for the respondents 
are as follows:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-1208.
    OMB Approval Date: May 5, 2015.
    OMB Expiration Date: May 31, 2018.
    Title: Acceleration of Broadband Deployment by Improving Wireless 
Facilities Siting Policies.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Respondents: Individuals or households, business or other for-
profit entities, not-for-profit institutions and State, local or Tribal

    Frequency of Response: Third-party disclosure reporting

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. 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.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality with this collection of information.
    Privacy Act 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.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission requested 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 1.40001.
     47 CFR 1.40001(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

[[Page 28204]]

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 1.40001(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).
