As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, and
as required by the PRA of 1995 (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 No.: 3060-1205.
Title: Section 74.802, Low Power Auxiliary Stations Co-channel
Coordination with TV Broadcast Stations.
Form No.: Not Applicable.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Individuals and households; business or other for-
profit entities; not-for-profit institutions; Federal government; and
state, local or tribal government.
Number of Respondents and Responses: 217 respondents and 217
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 1.0 hour.
Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and third-
party disclosure requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The
statutory authority for this collection of information is contained in
47 U.S.C. 151, 154, 301, 303, 307, 308, 309, 310, 316, 319, 325(b),
332, 336(f), 338, 339, 340, 399b, 403, 534, 535, 1404, 1452, and 1454.
Total Annual Burden: 217 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $27,125.
Needs and Uses: On June 2, 2014, the Commission released a Report
and Order, FCC 14-50, GN Docket No. 12-268, ``Expanding the Economic
and Innovation Opportunities of Spectrum Through Incentive Auctions.''
This order adopted a revision to a Commission rule, 47 CFR 74.802(b),
to permit low power auxiliary stations (LPAS), including wireless
microphones, to operate in the bands allocated for TV broadcasting at
revised distances from a co-channel television's contour, and provided
LPAS operators to operate even closer to television stations proved
that any such operations are coordinated with TV broadcast stations
that could be affected by the LPAS operations.
The Commission seeks Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval
for an extension of the currently approved information collection for
the coordination process adopted in the Commission's Report and Order,
FCC 14-50 for such co-channel operations, in 47 CFR 74.802d(b)(2).
Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene Dortch,
Secretary.
