system of records notice (SORN), FCC/CGB-1, ``Informal Complaints, 
Inquiries, and Requests for Dispute Assistance.'' As required by the 
Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Commission also published a SORN, FCC/
CGB-1 ``Informal Complaints, Inquiries, and Requests for Dispute 
Assistance,'' in the Federal Register on August 15, 2014 (79 FR 48152) 
which became effective on September 24, 2014.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: The FCC completed a Privacy Impact 
Assessment (PIA) on June 28, 2007. It may be reviewed at https://www.fcc.gov/general/privacy-act-information#pia. The Commission is in 
the process of updating the PIA to incorporate various revisions to it 
as a result of revisions to the SORN.
    Needs and Uses: On December 21, 2001, the Commission released the 
2001 TRS Cost Recovery Order, document FCC 01-371, published at 67 FR 
4203, January 29, 2002, in which the Commission:
    (1) Directed the Interstate Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS) 
Fund (TRS Fund) administrator to continue to use the average cost per 
minute compensation methodology for the traditional TRS compensation 
rate;
    (2) required TRS providers to submit certain projected TRS-related 
cost and demand data to the TRS Fund administrator to be used to 
calculate the rate; and
    (3) directed the TRS Fund administrator to expand its form for 
providers to itemize their actual and projected costs and demand data, 
and to include specific sections to capture speech-to-speech (STS) and 
video relay service (VRS) costs and minutes of use.
    In 2003, the Commission released the 2003 Second Improved TRS 
Order, published at 68 FR 50973, August 25, 2003, which among other 
things required that TRS providers offer certain local exchange carrier 
(LEC)-based improved services and features where technologically 
feasible, including a speed dialing requirement which may entail 
voluntary recordkeeping for TRS providers to maintain a list of 
telephone numbers. See also 47 CFR 64.604(a)(3)(vi)(B).
    In 2007, the Commission released the Section 225/255 VoIP Report 
and Order, published at 72 FR 43546, August 6, 2007, extending the 
disability access requirements that apply to telecommunications service 
providers and equipment manufacturers under 47 U.S.C. 225, 255 to 
interconnected voice over internet protocol (VoIP) service providers 
and equipment manufacturers. As a result, under rules implementing 
section 225 of the Act, interconnected VoIP service providers are 
required to publicize information about telecommunications relay 
services (TRS) and 711 abbreviated dialing access to TRS. See also 47 
CFR 64.604(c)(3).
    In 2007, the Commission also released the 2007 Cost Recovery Report 
and Order and Declaratory Ruling, published at 73 FR 3197, January 17, 
2008, in which the Commission:
    (1) Adopted a new cost recovery methodology for interstate 
traditional TRS and interstate STS based on the Multi-state Average 
Rate Structure (MARS) plan, under which interstate TRS compensation 
rates are determined by weighted average of the states' intrastate 
compensation rates, and which includes for STS additional compensation 
approved by the Commission for STS outreach;
    (2) requires STS providers to file a report annually with the TRS 
Fund administrator and the Commission on their specific outreach 
efforts directly attributable to the additional compensation approved 
by the Commission for STS outreach.
    (3) adopted a new cost recovery methodology for interstate 
captioned telephone service (CTS), as well as internet Protocol 
captioned telephone service (IP CTS), based on the MARS plan;
    (4) adopted a cost recovery methodology for internet Protocol (IP) 
Relay based on price caps;
    (5) adopted a cost recovery methodology for VRS that adopted tiered 
rates based on call volume;
    (6) clarified the nature and extent that certain categories of 
costs are compensable from the Fund; and
    (7) addressed certain issues concerning the management and 
oversight of the Fund, including prohibiting financial incentives 
offered to consumers to make relay calls.
    In 2018, the Commission released the IP CTS Modernization Order, 
published at 83 FR 30082, June 27, 2018, in which the Commission:
    (1) Determined that it would transition the methodology for IP CTS 
cost recovery from the MARS plan to cost-based rates and adopted 
interim rates; and
    (2) added two cost reporting requirements for IP CTS providers: (i) 
In annual cost data filings and supplementary information provided to 
the TRS Fund administrator, IP CTS providers that contract for the 
supply of services used in the provision of TRS, shall include 
information about payments under such contracts, classified according 
to the substantive cost categories specified by the TRS Fund 
administrator; and (ii) in the course of an audit or otherwise upon 
demand, IP CTS providers must make

available any relevant documentation. 47 CFR 64.604(c)(5)(iii)(D)(1), 
(6).
    OMB Control Number: 3060-1215.
    Title: Use of Spectrum Bands Above 24 GHz for Mobile Radio 
Services.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Revision of an existing collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit, not-for-profit 
institutions, and state, local and tribal government.
    Number of Respondents: 280 respondents; 280 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: .5-10 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement; third 
party disclosure requirement; upon commencement of service, or within 3 
years of effective date of rules; and at end of license term, or 2024 
for incumbent licensees.
    Obligation to Respond: Statutory authority for this collection are 
contained in sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 201, 225, 227, 301, 302, 
302a, 303, 304, 307, 309, 310, 316, 319, 332, and 336 of the 
Communications Act of 1934, 47 U.S.C. 151, 152, 153, 154, 155, 157, 
160, 201, 225, 227, 301, 302, 302a, 303, 304, 307, 309, 310, 316, 319, 
332, 336, Section 706 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, as 
amended, 47 U.S.C. 1302.
    Total Annual Burden: 615 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $450,000.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality with this collection of information.
    Needs and Uses: In this collection, the Commission adopted new 
licensing, service, and technical rules under Part 30 of the 
Commission's Rules for the 24.25-24.45 GHz and 24.75-25.25 GHz bands 
(collectively, 24 GHz band), the 27.5-28.35 GHz band (28 GHz band), the 
38.6-40 GHz band (39 GHz band), the 37-38.6 GHz band (37 GHz band), the 
47.2-48.2 GHz band (47 GHz band). Therefore, the Commission expanded 
the scope of the rules to include additional bands. In turn, since the 
rules now apply in additional bands, the number of respondents, the 
annual number of responses, annual burden hours and annual costs will 
increase for this collection. The Commission also authorizes unlicensed 
use in the 64-71 GHz band under Part 15. In so doing, the Commission 
created a consistent framework across all of the bands that can serve 
as a template for additional bands in the future.
    The rules adopted by the Commission, in FCC 17-152 and FCC 18-73 
revise the previously approved information collection relating to 
Section 25.136 of the Commission's Rules. The Commission added the 24 
GHz band and the 47 GHz band (47.2-48.2 GHz) to the bands that are 
subject to the framework for sharing between the Upper Microwave 
Flexible Use Service (UMFUS) and the Fixed-Satellite Service (FSS) 
established in that rule. In addition, the Commission modified the 
sharing criteria between UMFUS and FSS to facilitate deployment of FSS 
earth stations in smaller markets and decrease the possibility of 
conflicts between UMFUS and FSS.
    Section 25.136--This rule contains both a third-party coordination 
requirement and a filing requirement. Both requirements are necessary 
to ensure that Fixed Satellite Service earth stations can receive 
interference protection without having an undue impact on terrestrial 
deployment.
