Download as PDF mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES 58960 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.

The Commission’s Office of Strategic Planning (OSP) will use the information collected under this survey to help determine the extent of broadband Internet adoption, and use the data to inform policy recommendations under the National Broadband Plan. Information on consumers without broadband Internet at home will be used to carefully identify the nature and extent of the problem and used to develop policy recommendations through the National Broadband Plan which is due to congress by February 17, 2010.
