awards. In making these draft
recommendations, the SAB requires full
and frank advice from the STAA
Committee. This advice will involve
professional judgments on the relative
merits of various employees and their
respective work. Such personnel matters
involve the discussion of information
that is of a personal nature and the
disclosure of which would be a clearly
unwarranted invasion of personal
privacy and, therefore, are protected
from disclosure by section (c)(6) of the
Government in the Sunshine Act, 5
U.S.C. 552b(c)(6). Minutes of the STAA
Committee teleconference will be kept
and certified by the chair.

ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
As part of its continuing effort
to reduce paperwork burdens, and as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–
3520), the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC or the Commission)
invites the general public and other
Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on the
following information collection.
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 control

2014. 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 contact listed below as soon
as possible.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060–0207.
Title: Part 11—Emergency Alert
System (EAS).
Form Number: Not applicable.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Businesses or other forprofit; not-for-profit institutions; and
state, local or tribal government.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 3,569,028,080 respondents;
3,569,028 responses.
Estimated Time per Response:
.0229776 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement and
recordkeeping requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Voluntary
response for business or other for-profit
and not-for-respondents. Mandatory
response for state, local or tribal
government. Statutory authority for this
information collection is contained in
47 U.S.C 154(i) and 606 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended.
Total Annual Burden: 82,008 hours.
Total Annual Cost: N/A.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
seeking and extension of this
information collection in order to obtain
the full three year approval from OMB.
There are no changes in any of the
reporting and/or recordkeeping
requirements. There is no change to the
Commission’s previous burden
estimated.
The Commission established a
voluntary electronic method of
complying with the reporting that EAS
participants must complete as part of

the national EAS test. This electronic
submission system will impose a lesser
burden on EAS test participants because
they can input electronically (via a webbased interface) the same information
into a confidential database that the
Commission would use to monitor and
assess the test. Test participants would
submit the identifying data prior to the
test date. On the day of the test, EAS
participants would be able to input
immediate test results. They would
input the remaining data called for by
our reporting rules within the 45 day
period. Structuring an electronic
reporting system in this fashion will
allow the participants to populate the
database with known information prior
to the test, and thus be able to provide
the Commission with actual test data,
both close to real-time and within a
reasonable period in a minimally
burdensome fashion

validity of the request, the request will
be deemed valid if the PSAP making the
request provides the following
information:
A. Cost Recovery. The PSAP must
demonstrate that a mechanism is in
place by which the PSAP will recover
its costs of the facilities and equipment
necessary to receive and utilize the E911
data elements;
B. Necessary Equipment. The PSAP
must provide evidence that it has
ordered the equipment necessary to
receive and utilize the E911 data
elements; and
C. Necessary Facilities. The PSAP
must demonstrate that it has made a
timely request to the appropriate local
exchange carrier for the necessary
trunking and other facilities to enable
E911 data to be transmitted to the PSAP.
In the alternative, the PSAP may
demonstrate that a funding mechanism
is in place, that it is E911 capable using
a Non-Call Associated Signaling
technology, and that it has made a
timely request to the appropriate LEC
for the necessary ALI database upgrade.

Developers and innovators
have many great ideas and products that
could improve the U.S. health care
system and make life better for patients
and care providers. However, effecting
actual change is extremely difficult due
to the high barriers to entry in the health
IT space. Once an innovative new
product has been developed, it needs to
be tested in real-life care settings. But
providers can be hesitant to host this
testing for a myriad of reasons—they
may have had bad experiences in the
past, be anxious about deploying new

tools that may disrupt their workflows,
or be wary of encountering more
problems than the solution solves.
Without this testing, it cannot be
determined how well the product
actually works, making it difficult for
the developers to identify the changes
that need to be made to the product to
make it more effective. Furthermore,
without evidence of the uses a product
can provide it is that much harder to
acquire the venture funding that can
fuel further advancement and lead to
successful entry in the marketplace.
The Market R&D Pilot Challenge is
intended to help bridge this gap by
bringing together health care
organizations (‘‘Hosts’’) and innovative
companies (‘‘Innovators’’) through pilot
funding awards and facilitated
matchmaking. The Challenge seeks to
award pilot proposals in three different
domains: Clinical environments (e.g.,
hospitals, ambulatory care, surgical
centers), public health and community
environments (community-based
personnel such as public health
departments, community health
workers, mobile medical trucks, schooland jail-based clinics), and consumer
health (e.g., self-insured employers,
pharmacies, laboratories). Hosts and
Innovators will submit joint pilot
proposals, with the winners, as
determined by an expert panel,
proceeding to implement their pilots.
The Challenge’s primary goals are to:
• Encourage early collaboration
between entrepreneurs, medical and
public health personnel, patients, and
the research community to link
innovation in health IT to innovation in
care delivery;
• De-risk early stage health IT and
digital health products for future
clinical testing and investment;
• Encourage uptake of and ensure the
market is aware of ONC standards and
functions within certified electronic
health record technologies; and
• Explore evidence collection
methods and relevant metrics for early
stage health IT products that may better
match agile software development.
The statutory authority for this
challenge competition is Section 105 of
the America COMPETES
Reauthorization Act of 2010 (Pub. L.
111–358).
DATES:
Applicants:
• Challenge launch: October 20, 2014.
• Matchmaking events: Early December,
2014 to mid-January, 2015.
• Submissions due: March 2, 2015.
• Winners announced: April 30, 2015.
Winners:
• Pilot preparation and setup: May–
July, 2015.
