Communications Commission Under Delegated Authority

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), 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 concerns with fewer 
than 25 employees.
    The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless it displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget 
(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.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted on or before May 1, 2017. 
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 contacts below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Cathy Williams, FCC, via email 
[email protected] and to [email protected].

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As part of its continuing effort to reduce 
paperwork burdens, and as required by the PRA of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520), the FCC 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

    OMB Control No.: 3060-0347.
    Title: Section 97.311, Spread Spectrum (SS) Emission Types.
    Form No.: Not applicable.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Individuals or households.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 10 respondents; 10 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: .017 hours (1 minute).

[[Page 12096]]

    Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain and retain benefits. The 
statutory authority for this collection of information is contained in 
47 U.S.C. 154, 303, 151-155 and 301-609.
    Total Annual Burden: 1 hour.
    Annual Cost Burden: None.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality with this collection of information.
    Needs and Uses: The recordkeeping requirement in Section 97.311 is 
necessary to document all spread spectrum (ss) transmissions by amateur 
radio operators. This requirement is necessary so that quick resolution 
of any harmful interference problems can be achieved and to ensure that 
the station is operating in accordance with the Communications Act of 
1934, as amended. The information is used by FCC staff during 
inspections and investigations to ensure compliance with applicable 
rules, statutes, and treaties. In the absence of this recordkeeping 
requirement, field inspections and investigations related to the 
solution of cases of harmful interference would be severely hampered 
and needlessly prolonged due to the inability to quickly obtain vital 
information used to demodulate spread spectrum transmissions.
    OMB Control No.: 3060-0882.
    Title: Section 95.833, Construction requirements.
    Form No.: Not applicable.

and 303.
    Total Annual Burden: 5 hours.
    Annual Cost Burden: $1,250.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need with 
confidentiality with this collection ofinformation.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Needs and Uses: 218-219 MHz service system licensees are required 
to file a report after 10 years of license grant to demonstrate that 
they provide substantial service to its service areas. This information 
is examined by the Commission to assess whether or not licensees are in 
compliance with 218-219 MHz service system construction requirements 
which is covered under 47 CFR 95.833. Without this information, the 
Commission would not be able to carry out its statutory 
responsibilities.
