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 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.

    Type of Review: New information collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities, state, local, 
or tribal government and not for profit institutions.
    Number of Respondents: 110,782 respondents; 136,432 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0 to .5 hours.
    Frequency of Response: One-time and on occasion reporting 
requirements; other reporting requirements--as-needed basis for the 
equipment safety certifications, and consistently (likely daily) 
responses automated via the device.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for these collections are contained in 47 U.S.C. 
151, 152, 154(i), 154(j), 155(c), 302(a), 303, 304, 307(e), and 316 of

    Total Annual Burden: 37,977 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $7,318,100.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality with this collection of information.
    Needs and Uses: The FCC adopted a Report and Order, FCC 15-47, that 
establishes rules for commercial use of 150 megahertz in the 3550-3700 
MHz (3.5 GHz) band and created a new Citizens Broadband Radio Service, 
on April 17, 2015, published at 80 FR 36163 (June 23, 2015). The order 
creates a Spectrum Access System (SAS), an online database that will 
manage and coordinate frequency use in the band through registration 
and other technical information. The Commission seeks approval from the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for the information collection 
requirements contained in FCC 15-47. The SAS will use the information 
to assign frequencies, manage interference, and authorize spectrum use. 
The Commission will use the information to authorize the SAS 
Administrator(s) and ESC operator(s).
    The following is a description of the information collection 
requirements for which the Commission seeks OMB approval:

[[Page 37259]]

    Section 96.17(d) requires that FSS Earth Station licensees register 
annually with the SAS to receive interference protection.
    Section 96.21(a)(3) requires that existing commercial wireless 
broadband licensees operating in the band register in order to receive 
interference protection.
    Sections 96.23(b); 96.33(b); 96.39(a)(1) and (c)-(e); 96.43(b); 
96.45(d) require that the Citizens Broadband Radio Services Devices 
(CBSDs), which will operate on the Citizens Broadband Radio Service, 
must be registered with an SAS before use, provide specified 
information to the SAS, and adhere to certain operating parameters.
    Section 96.35(e) requires that users operating Category B CBSDs 
must coordinate among each other and resolve interference through 
technological solutions or other agreements.
    Sections 96.39(a) and (b) require that CBSDs report their 
geographic coordinates to an SAS automatically through the device or by 
a professional installer.
    Sections 96.39(f) and (g) require that CBSDs incorporate sufficient 
security measures so that they are only able to communicate with the 
SAS and approved users and devices.
    Section 96.41(d)(1) requires that licensees must report the use of 
an alternative Received Signal Strength Limit (RSSL) to the SAS.
    Section 96.51 requires that manufacturers include a statement of 
compliance with the Commission's Radio Frequency (RF) safety rules with 
equipment authorization applications.
    Sections 96.57(a)-(c); 96.59(a); 96.61 require that the SAS be 
capable of receiving registration and technical information from CBSDs, 
SASs, and ESCs, as well as employ secure communication protocols.
    Section 96.63 requires that SAS Administrator applicants must 
demonstrate to the Commission that they are qualified to manage an SAS.
    Section 96.67 requires that an Environmental Sensing Capability 
(ESC), used to protect federal radar systems from interference, may 
only operate after receiving Commission approval and be able to 
communicate information about the presence of a federal system and 
maintain security of the detected signals.
    These rules which contain information collection requirements are 
designed to provide for flexible use of this spectrum, while managing 
three tiers of users in the band, and create a low-cost entry point for 
a wide array of users. The rules will encourage innovation and 
investment in mobile broadband use in this spectrum while protecting 
incumbent users. Without this information, the Commission would not be 
able to carry out its statutory responsibilities.

    Federal Communications Commission.

Federal Register Liaison Officer, Office of the Secretary.
