under the emergency processing
provisions of the PRA, 5 CFR 1320.5,
1320.8(d), and 1320.13 on February 12,

approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit, not-for-profit institutions, and
state, local or tribal government.

Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour.
Frequency of Response: On occasion

recordkeeping requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to

authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. 11, 151, 154,

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission is not requesting that
the respondents submit confidential
information to the Commission. If the
Commission requests applicants to
submit information that the respondents
believe is confidential, respondents may
request confidential treatment of such
information under 47 CFR 0.459 of the
Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: The Commission, in
2004, adopted the Joint Conference’s
recommendations to reinstate the
following Part 32 accounts:
Account 5230, Directory revenue;
Account 6621, Call completion
services;
Account 6622, Number services;
Account 6623, Customer services;
Account 6561, Depreciation expensetelecommunications plant in service;
Account 6562, Depreciation expenseproperty held for future
telecommunications use;
Account 6563, Amortization expensetangible;
Account 6564, Amortization expenseintangible; and
Account 6565, Amortization expenseother.
These accounting changes are
mandatory only for Class A Incumbent
Local Exchange Carriers (ILECs). The
reinstatement of these accounts imposed
a minor increase in burden only Class
A ILECs only. The Commission also
established a recordkeeping requirement
that Class A ILECs maintain subsidiary
record categories for unbundled
network element revenues, resale
revenues, reciprocal compensation
revenues, and other interconnection
revenues in the accounts in which these
revenues are currently recorded. The
use of subsidiary record categories
allows carriers to use whatever
mechanisms they choose, including
those currently in place, to identify the
relevant amounts as long as the
information can be made available to
state and federal regulators upon
request. The use of subsidiary record
categories for interconnection revenue
does not require massive changes to the
ILECs’ accounting systems and is a far
less burdensome alternative than the
creation of new accounts and/or
subaccounts. The information submitted
to the Commission by carriers provides
the necessary detail to enable the
Commission to fulfill its regulatory
responsibilities.
OMB Control Number: 3060–0741.

regulations designed to implement
certain provisions of section 251, and to
eliminate operational barriers to
competition in the telecommunications
services markets.

SUMMARY:

Summary
1. On December 20, 2013, the
Wireless Telecommunications Bureau
(the Bureau) granted to DISH Network
Corporation (DISH) waivers of the
Commission’s rules, subject to certain
conditions, in response to a petition
filed by DISH to provide DISH with

flexibility to elect whether to use 20
megahertz of Advanced Wireless
Services–4 (AWS–4) spectrum at 2000–
2020 MHz (the Lower AWS–4 Band) for
uplink or downlink operations. The
Bureau also waived DISH’s final AWS–
4 build-out milestone, extending the
deadline from seven to eight years. See
DISH Network Corporation, Petition for
Waiver of §§ 27.5(j) and 27.53(h)(2)(ii)
and Request for Extension of Time, WT
Docket No. 13–225 (filed Sept. 9, 2013)
(‘‘DISH Petition’’). DISH filed its waiver
request on behalf of itself and its wholly
owned subsidiaries Gamma
Acquisitions L.L.C. and New DBSD
Satellite Services G.P. Id. at 1. This
Summary refers to DISH Network
Corporation and these subsidiaries
collectively as ‘‘DISH.’’ In granting this
relief, the Bureau determined that,
provided DISH complies with several
conditions, the request meets the
Commission’s general waiver standard
as well as requirements specific to
wireless services. The decision to grant
DISH an extension of time and the
flexibility to elect whether to use the
Lower AWS–4 Band for uplink or
downlink operations was effective upon
release of the Memorandum Opinion
and Order on December 20, 2013.
2. The Bureau’s grant of the requested
waivers was subject to DISH meeting the
following two conditions. First,
pursuant to commitments made in its
waiver request, DISH must bid in the
upcoming H Block auction ‘‘either
directly or indirectly through an
affiliated entity or designated entity, at
least a net clearing price’’ equal to the
aggregate reserve price set for that
auction of $1.564 billion. See Auction of
H Block Licenses in the 1915–1920 MHz
and 1995–2000 MHz Bands Scheduled
for January 14, 2014; Notice and Filing
Requirements, Minimum Opening Bids,
Upfront Payments, and other Procedures

Public Notice, 28 FCC Rcd 13019, 13064
para. 172 (WTB 2013) (‘‘Auction 96
Procedures PN’’); NTCH, Inc. Petition

Price for Auction of H Block Licenses

Memorandum Opinion and Order, DA
13–2281 (WTB/Auctions Division, Nov.
27, 2013) (‘‘Auction 96 Procedures PN
Recon Order’’). Second, DISH must file
its uplink or downlink election, which
shall apply to all AWS–4 licenses, as
soon as commercially practicable but no
later than 30 months after the release
date of the Bureau’s Memorandum
Opinion and Order. Failure by DISH to
comply with either of these conditions
will automatically terminate the waivers
