and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (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 October 2, 
2018. 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].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As part of its continuing effort to reduce 
paperwork burdens, and as required by the PRA, 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 business concerns with fewer 
than 25 employees.
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0508.
    Title: Parts 1 and 22 Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements
    Form Number: Not applicable.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities, Individuals or 
households, and State, Local or Tribal Governments.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 15,465 respondents; 16,183 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.13 hours-10 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping requirement; On occasion, 
quarterly, and semi-annual reporting requirements; Third-party 
disclosure requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The 
statutory authority for this collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. 154, 
222, 303, 309 and 332.
    Total Annual Burden: 2,606 hours.
    Annual Cost Burden: $19,138,350.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality with this collection of information. The information to 
be collected will be made available for public inspection. Applicants 
may request materials or information submitted to the Commission be 
given confidential treatment under 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission's 
rules.
    Needs and Uses: Part 22 contains the technical and legal 
requirements for radio stations operating in the Public Mobile 
Services. The information collected is used to determine on a case-by-
case basis, whether or not to grant licenses authorizing construction 
and operation of wireless telecommunications facilities to common 
carriers. Further, this information is used to develop statistics about 
the demand for various wireless licenses and/or the licensing process 
itself, and occasionally for rule enforcement purposes.
    This revised information collection reflects deletion of a rule 
applicable to all licensees and applicants governed by Part 22 of the 
Commission's rules, as adopted by the Commission in a Third Report and 
Order in WT Docket Nos. 12-40 (Cellular Third R&O) (FCC 18-92). The 
Cellular Third R&O deleted certain Part 22 rules that either imposed 
administrative and recordkeeping burdens that are outdated and no 
longer serve the public interest, or that are largely duplicative of 
later-adopted rules and are thus no longer necessary. Among the rule 
deletions and of relevance to this information collection, the 
Commission deleted rule section 22.303, resulting in discontinued 
information collection for that rule section.
    The Commission is now seeking approval from the OMB for a revision 
of this information collection.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary, Office of the Secretary.
