FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS
COMMISSION
Notice of Public Information Collection
Being Reviewed by the Federal
Communications Commission Under
Delegated Authority, Comments
Requested
November 5, 2009.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications
Commission, as part of its continuing
effort to reduce paperwork burden
invites the general public and other
Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on the
following information collection(s), as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520. An
agency may not conduct or sponsor a
collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid control
number. No person shall be subject to
any penalty for failing to comply with
a collection of information subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that
does not display a valid control number.
Comments are requested concerning (a)
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;
(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s
burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; and (d) 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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

For additional information about the
information collection(s) send an e–mail
to PRA@fcc.gov or contact Judith B.
Herman, 202–418–0214.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control No: 3060–1129.
Title: Broadband Speed Test and
Unavailability Registry.
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Individuals or
households.
Number of Respondents: 7,300
respondents; 7,300 responses.
Estimated Time Per Response: .017
hours.
Frequency of Response: One–time and
on occasion reporting requirements and
third party disclosure requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Voluntary.
Statutory authority is contained in the
Broadband Data Improvement Act of
2008, Pub. L. No. 110–385 and the
American Reinvestment and Recovery
Act of 2009, Pub. L. No. 111–5.
Total Annual Burden: 124 Hours.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes.
The FCC is concerned about the
potential risks and effects of collecting,
maintaining, and disseminating the
personally identifiable information (PII)
that is being collected as part of the
E:\FR\FM\16NON1.SGM

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 219 / Monday, November 16, 2009 / Notices
Broadband Plan and the Broadband Map
and their related impact studies and
filing processes. The PII that will be
collected are the street address of speed
test and registry participants. Therefore,
the Commission intends to do the
following:
1) create a system of records to cover
the PII that is being collected as part of
these information collection
requirements;
2) conduct a Privacy Impact
Assessment (PIA) in accordance with
OMB Memorandum M–03–22 to
examine and evaluate the protections
for handling the PII as part of this new
information collection; and
3) publish the system of records
notice (SORN) in the Federal Register as
required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(e).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
No personally identifiable information
(PII) will be shared outside the FCC.
However, the Commission will retain
the street address information. As noted
in Question 1 of the Supporting
Statement, which will be submitted to
the OMB, the FCC is committed to
protecting the PII that is being collected,
stored, maintained, and used as part of
the Broadband Plan and the Broadband
Map and the related impact studies and
filing processes. The FCC intends to
create a system of records, to perform a
Privacy Act Impact analysis, and to
publish the System of Records Notice
(SORN) in the Federal Register.
The information collected through the
voluntary Registry and speed tests, with
the exception of any personally
identifiable information, may be shared
with public–private partnerships and
with the Telecommunications Program
of the United States Department of
Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development
Agency. This sharing regime is
described in the Commission’s
Broadband Data Gathering Order of
2008 (FCC 08–89).
Need and Uses: The purpose of this
collection is to enable citizens to
voluntarily report the unavailability of
broadband service at the household
street address level and to test the speed
and quality of their broadband service.
This collection will provide the
Commission with unique data on
household availability of broadband and
on relative broadband speeds.
The FCC’s 2008 Broadband Data
Gathering Order instructs the
Commission to ‘‘design and implement
a voluntary system that households may
use to report unavailability and speed of
broadband Internet access service at
their premises.’’
The Commission sought emergency
OMB approval for this new collection
on October 20, 2009. The Commission
VerDate Nov<24>2008
16:41 Nov 13, 2009
Jkt 220001
received OMB approval for the
emergency request on October 27, 2009.
Emergency approvals are valid for six
months only. Therefore, the
Commission is seeking an extension of
this collection (no change in reporting
and/or third party disclosure
requirements) in order to obtain the full
three year clearance from the OMB.
The Commission will use the
information collected to help determine
the extent of broadband build–out and
availability. The street address level
collection will provide the Commission
with additional data to help create an
accurate National Broadband Map. The
speed test and quality of service data
will provide the Commission with an
additional informational resource to
consider that will be relevant to the
National Broadband Plan and other
proceedings.
