Communications Commission

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) of 1995, the 
Federal Communications Commission (FCC or the Commission) invites the 
general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to 
comment on the following information collection. 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 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 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before October 2, 
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 contact listed below as soon as possible.

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

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the 
information collection, contact Nicole Ongele at (202) 418-2991.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
    OMB Control Number: 3060-XXXX.
    Title: Procedures for Commission Review of State Opt-Out Request 
from the FirstNet Radio Access Network.

[[Page 35779]]

    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: New collection.
    Respondents: State, Local or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 55 respondents: 110 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.25 hours for the initial 
notification.
    Frequency of Response: One-time reporting requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for requiring licensees to submit this information 
enter into the written agreements is contained in the Middle Class Tax 
Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012, Public Law 112-96, 126 Stat. 156 
Sec. Sec.  6001-6303, 6413 (codified at 47 U.S.C. 1401-1443, 1457).
    Total Annual Burden: 26,414 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No cost.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Alternative state plans are 
very likely to contain proprietary information as well as information 
whose disclosure could compromise network security. Parties may 
therefore seek confidential treatment of any filing under our Part 0 
rules, including the use of a protective order process to allow other 
those granted party status to the restricted proceeding access to the 
information on a confidential basis.
    Needs and Uses: This collection will be submitted as a new 
collection after this 60-day comment period to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) in order to obtain the full three-year clearance. The 
purpose of requiring this collection is to comply with Middle Class Tax 
Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012. The Middle Class Tax Relief and 
Job Creation Act of 2012 provides that ``the Governor shall choose 
whether to participate in the deployment of the nationwide, 
interoperable broadband network as proposed by [FirstNet,] or conduct 
its own deployment of a radio access network in such State.'' If a 
Governor chooses not to participate in the NPSBN, Section 6302(e)(3)(A) 
of the Act requires the Governor to ``notify [FirstNet], the NTIA, and 
the Commission of such decision.'' The Act also states that an opt-out 
state ``shall submit'' to the Commission an ``alternative plan'' for 
``the construction, maintenance, operation, and improvements'' of the 
RAN within the state. Section 3(C)(ii) of the Act mandates that ``upon 
submission of this plan, the Commission shall approve or disapprove of 
the plan.''
    We require that either the Governor or the Governor's his duly 
authorized designee may provide notification of the Governor's 
decision. The opt-out notification to the Commission must also include 
a certification that the state is providing simultaneous notice of its 
opt-out decision to both to NTIA and FirstNet. To facilitate the 
electronic filing of opt-out notifications, we will establish the email 
address [email protected] as the address for this purpose.
    Each opt-out state will have 60 days from the completion of its 
Request For Proposal (240 days from the date of its opt-out 
notification to the Commission) to file an alternative state plan via 
the secure email address [email protected] or via certified mail to the 
Secretary's office.
