DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of 
information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Agency: National Telecommunications and Information Administration.
    Title: NTIA/FCC Web-based Frequency Coordination System.
    OMB Control Number: 0660-0018.
    Form Number(s): N/A.
    Type of Request: Regular submission (extension of currently 
approved information collection).
    Number of Respondents: 4000.
    Average Hours per Response: 15 minutes.
    Burden Hours: 1000.
    Needs and Uses: NTIA hosts a Web-based system that collects 
specific identification information (e.g., company name, location and 
projected range of the operation, etc.) from applicants seeking to 
operate in existing and planned radio frequency (RF) bands that are 
shared on a co-primary basis by federal and non-federal users. The Web-
based system provides a means for non-federal applicants to rapidly 
determine the availability of RF spectrum in a specific location, or a 
need for detailed frequency coordination of a specific newly proposed 
assignment within the shared portions of the radio spectrum. The system 
helps expedite the coordination process for non-federal applicants 
while assuring protection of government data relating to national 
security.
    Affected Public: Applicants seeking to operate in the 71-76 GHz, 
81-86 GHz, and 92-95 GHz radio frequency bands.
    Frequency: Once per applicant.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    This information collection request may be viewed at reginfo.gov. 
Follow the instructions to view Department of Commerce collections 
currently under review by OMB.
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to [email protected] or fax to (202) 395-5806.
