On April 17, 2015, the Federal
Communications Commission ("Commission" or "FCC") adopted a Report
and Order and Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, FCC
15-47, GN Docket No. 12-354 (Report and Order) that establishes
rules for commercial use of 150 megahertz in the 3550-3700 MHz (3.5
GHz) band and creates a new Citizens Broadband Radio Service. The
rules will create additional capacity for wireless broadband by
adopting a new approach to spectrum management to facilitate more
intensive spectrum sharing between commercial and federal users and
among multiple tiers of commercial users. The Commission is
submitting a non-substantive change request to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB). Please see the change request
justification for the reason behind the change request submission
to OMB.
This is a new information
collection. The following burdens will be added to OMB's inventory
as a result of the information collection requirements contained in
FCC 15-47: 110,782 to the number of respondents, 136,432 to the
annual number of responses, 37,977 hours to the annual burden hours
and $7,318,100 to the annual burden costs.
