FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As part of its continuing effort to reduce

3520), the FCC invites the general public and other Federal agencies to 
take this opportunity to comment on the following information

    Comments are requested concerning: Whether the proposed collection

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information

    OMB Control No.: 3060-0768.
    Title: 28 GHz Band Segmentation Plan Amending the Commission's 
Rules to Redesignate the 27.5-29.5 GHz Frequency Band, to Reallocate 
the 29.5 to 30.0 GHz Frequency Band and to Establish Rules and 
Policies.
    Form No.: None.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents/Responses: 17 respondents; 17 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 2 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement; third-
party disclosure requirement.
    Obligation To Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The 
statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 
U.S.C. 154 and 303.
    Total Annual Burden: 34 hours.
    Annual Cost Burden: $4,950.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: In general, there is no need 
for confidentiality with this collection of information.
    Needs and Uses: The Federal Communications Commission 
(``Commission'') is requesting a revision of the information collection 
titled, ``28 GHz Band'' under OMB Control No. 3060-0768 from the Office 
of Management and Budget (OMB).
    The purpose of the revision is to remove the information collection 
requirements that are contained under 47 CFR Sections 25.203, 25.250, 
25.257 and 25.258 from OMB Control No. 3060-0768 because they were 
consolidated under OMB Control No. 3060-0678. The consolidation was 
approved by OMB on August 15, 2014.
    The information collection requirements which remain in this 
collection require are as follows: (1) Local Multipoint Distribution 
Systems (LMDS) licensees to serve copies of their applications on all 
Non-Geostationary Mobile Satellite Service (NGSO/MSS) applicants 
(Section 101.147) and (2) NGSO/MSS feeder link earth stations must 
specify a set of geographic coordinates for location of these earth 
stations, 15 days after the release of a public notice announcing 
commencement of LMDS auctions (Section 101.147).
    The information is used by the Commission and other applicants and/
or licensees in the 28 GHz band to facilitate technical coordination of 
systems among applicants and/or licensees in the 28 GHz band. Without 
such information, the Commission

[[Page 43366]]

could not implement the Commission's band plan.
    Affected applicants and licensees are required to provide the 
requested information to the Commission and other third parties 
whenever they seek authority to provide service in the 28 GHz band. The 
frequency of filing is, in general, determined by the applicant or 
licensees. If this information is compiled less frequently or not filed 
in conjunction with our rules, applicants and licensees will not obtain 
the authorization necessary to provide telecommunications services. 
Furthermore, the Commission would not be able to carry out its mandate 
as required by statute and applicants and licensees would not be able 
to provide service effectively.
