Spectrum Usage By, Commercial Earth Stations and Space Stations'' under 
OMB Control No. 3060-0678, as a result of a recent rulemaking discussed 
below.
    On April 25, 2017, the Commission released a Third Report and Order 
in IB Docket No. 06-123, FCC 17-49, titled ``Establishment of Policies 
and Service Rules for the Broadcasting-Satellite Service at the 17.3-
17.7 GHz Frequency Band and at the 17.7-17.8 GHz Frequency Band 
Internationally, and at the 24.75-25.25 GHz Frequency Band for Fixed 
Satellite Services Providing Feeder Links to the Broadcasting-Satellite 
Service and for the Satellite Services Operating Bi-directionally in 
the 17.3-17.8 GHz Frequency Band.'' In the Report and Order, the 
Commission adopted rules requiring applicants for new licenses for 
Digital Broadcasting Satellite Service (DBS) feeder-link earth stations 
in the 17.3-17.8 GHz band to file with the Commission coordination 
agreements with affected Broadcasting-Satellite Service (BSS) licensees 
prior to licensing, and to provide technical information on their 
proposed feeder-link earth stations to a third-party coordinator to 
facilitate the coordination process (see 47 CFR 25.203(m)). The changes 
adopted in the Report and Order will result in a net annualized 
increase of 41 burden hours to applicants and licensees under Part 25. 
This submission amends the previous submission to the OMB of July 1, 
2014, to reflect these changes.

Federal Communications Commission.
