Title: CORES Registration Form.
Form Number: FCC Form 160.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Individuals or
households; Businesses or other forprofit entities; Not-for-profit
institutions; and State, Local, or Tribal
Governments.
Number of Respondents: 150,000;
150,000 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 10
minutes (0.167 hours).
Frequency of Response: One time
reporting requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits.
Total Annual Burden: 25,050 hours.
Total Annual Costs: None.
Privacy Impact Assessment: Yes.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The FCC has a system of records, FCC/
OMD–9, ‘‘Commission Registration
System (CORES),’’ to cover the
collection, purpose(s), storage,
safeguards, and disposal of the
personally identifiable information (PII)
that individual respondents may submit
on FCC Form 160. The FCC will also
redact PII submitted on this form before
it makes FCC Form 160 available for
public inspection.
Needs and Uses: Respondents use
FCC Form 160 to register in the FCC’s
Commission Registration System
(CORES). Respondents may also register
in CORES on-line at https://www.fcc.gov/
frnreg. When registering, the respondent
VerDate Nov<24>2008
19:01 Dec 29, 2009
Jkt 220001
receives a unique FCC Registration
Number (FRN), which is required for
anyone doing business with the
Commission. FCC Form 160 is used to
collect information that pertains to the
entity’s name, address, contact
representative, telephone number,
e-mail address, and fax number. The
Commission uses this information to
collect or report on any delinquent debt
arising from the respondent’s business
dealings with the FCC, including both
‘‘feeable’’ and ‘‘nonfeeable’’ services;
and to ensure that registrants
(respondents) receive any refunds due.
Use of the CORES System is also a
means of ensuring that the Commission
operates in compliance with the Debt
Collection Improvement Act of 1996.
The Commission has increased the
number of respondents and number of
responses by approximately 50,000 each
to account for those who will now be
filing FCC Form 323, ‘‘Ownership
Report for Commercial Broadcast
Stations.’’
OMB Control Number: 3060–0918.
Title: CORES Update/Change Form.
Form Number: FCC Form 161.

minutes (0.167 hours).
Frequency of Response: One time
reporting requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits.
Total Annual Burden: 9,792 hours.
Total Annual Costs: None.
Privacy Impact Assessment: Yes.

that individual respondents may submit
on FCC Form 160. The FCC will also
redact PII submitted on this form before
it makes FCC Form 160 available for
public inspection.
Needs and Uses: After respondents
have registered in the FCC’s
Commission Registration System
(CORES) and have been issued a FCC
Registration Number (FRN), they may
use FCC Form 161 to update and/or
change their contact information,
including name, address, telephone

The Commission uses this information
to collect or report on any delinquent
debt arising from the respondent’s
business dealings with the FCC,
including both ‘‘feeable’’ and

Privacy Act System of Records
AGENCY: Federal Communications
Commission (FCC or Commission).
ACTION: Notice; one new Privacy Act
system of records.
SUMMARY: Pursuant to subsection (e)(4)
of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended
(5 U.S.C. 552a), the FCC proposes to add
a new system of records, FCC/OMD–27,
‘‘Broadband Unavailability Survey and
Broadband Quality Test.’’ The FCC’s
Office of Managing Director (OMD) will
use the information contained in FCC/
OMD–27 to cover the personally
identifiable information (PII) in the
Commission’s new ‘‘Public Registry of
Broadband Availability Consumer
Information’’ survey and ‘‘Broadband
Quality Test.’’ This survey will
determine the access of U.S. residents to
broadband—cable and DSL, fiber and
other broadband services. The test will
provide individuals with a mechanism
to measure the quality of their internet
broadband connection. Individual street
addresses will not be made public but
aggregated data from the database may
be made public. These data may be used
to inform the National Broadband Plan,
the National Broadband Map and other
proceedings related to the provisioning
of broadband services.
DATES: In accordance with subsections
(e)(4) and (e)(11) of the Privacy Act, any
interested person may submit written
comments concerning the alteration of
this system of records on or before
January 29, 2010. The Office of

the Federal Register notifying the
public if any changes are necessary. As
required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r) of the
Privacy Act, the FCC is submitting
reports on this proposed altered system
to OMB and to both Houses of Congress.

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 Order of 2008 (FCC 08-89).

AND DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
STORAGE:
The information includes the electronic data and records that are
stored in the FCC's computer network databases.
RETRIEVABILITY:
Information in this system may be retrieved by the responses to the
broadband internet access questions: (1) Broadband access (yes/no); (2)
broadband service availability (check boxes for types of broadband
services available at an individual's home); and (3) the individual's
home address: street address, city, state, and zip code. Furthermore,
the information may be retreived and/or aggregated based upon other
Broadband Quality Test variables, such as broadband speed, latency,
jitter, and packet loss, among other broadband quality variables.
SAFEGUARDS:
Access to the information in the Public Registry of Broadband
Unavailability, which is housed in the FCC's computer network
databases, is restricted to authorized OMD supervisory and staff in the
Planning and Support Group of ITC and other ITC staff and contractors
who maintain these computer databases. Other employees and contractors
may be granted access on a ``need-to-know'' basis. The FCC's computer
network databases are protected by the FCC's security protocols, which
include controlled access, passwords, and other security features.
Information resident on the database servers is backed-up routinely
onto magnetic media. Back-up tapes are stored on-site and at a secured
location.

The information in this system is limited to electronic files,
records, and data, which pertains to the Public Registry of Broadband
Unavailability, which includes:
(1) the information obtained from individuals who participated in

Until the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA)
approves the retention and disposal schedule, these records will be
treated as permanent.
