Total Annual Burden: 12,500 hours. Total Annual Cost: N/A. Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Although it is unlikely that the survey will solicit any confidential information, pursuant to 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission’s rules, a respondent may request that information submitted to the Commission not be put in the public record. The respondent must state the reasons, and the facts on which those reasons are based, for withholding the information from the public record. The appropriate Bureau or Office Chief of the Commission may grant a confidentiality request that presents, by a preponderance of the evidence, a case for non–disclosure consistent with the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552. If a confidentiality request is denied, the respondent has five days to appeal the decision before the Commission. If the appeal before the Commission is denied, the respondent has five days to seek a judicial stay. Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this expiring information collection to the Office of Management and Budget to obtain the full three year clearance from them. The Commission sought and received emergency OMB approval of this information collection in January 2010. Emergency OMB approvals are granted for only six months. Therefore, the Commission is seeking OMB approval for the full three year clearance. There is no change in the Commissions public reporting requirements. There is no change in the Commission’s public burden estimates. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 authorized the FCC to create the national Broadband Plan that shall seek to ensure hat all people of the United States have access to broadband capability and shall establish benchmarks for meeting that goal. Consistent with this effort, the Commission seeks to conduct a survey of all applicants under the Schools and Libraries Universal Service Program, also known as the E–Rate Program, to determine the current state of broadband usage and access within schools and libraries in the United States in order to determine how to best address their educational needs as part of the National Broadband Plan.

Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Respondents: Individuals or households, business or other for–profit, not for–profit institutions, and state, local or tribal government. Number of Respondents and Responses: 62,677 respondents; 62,677 responses. Estimated Time Per Response: .166 hours to 4 hours. Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement, third party disclosure requirement and recordkeeping requirement. Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits.

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes. Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is a need for confidentiality with respect to all Private Land Mobile Radio (PLMRS) service filers in this information collection. Information on PO 00000 Frm 00045 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 the private land mobile radio service licensees is maintained in the Commission’s system of records, FCC/ WTB–1, ‘‘Wireless Services Licensing Records.’’ The licensee records will be publicly available and routinely used in accordance with subsection b. or the Privacy Act. FCC Registration Numbers (FRNs) and material which is afforded confidential treatment pursuant to a request made under 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission’s rules will not be publicly available for public inspection. Any personally identifiable information (PII) that individual applicants provide is covered by a system of records, FCC/ WTB–1, ‘‘Wireless Services Licensing Records,’’ and these and all other records may be disclosed pursuant to the Routine Uses as stated in this system of records notice. Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this expiring information collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) after this comment period to obtain the full three year clearance from them. There is no change in the Commission’s reporting, recordkeeping and/or third party disclosure requirements. The Commission is reporting a 25,671 hour increase in the total annual burden. This increase adjustment is due to an adjustment in the number of responses by licensees who operate within the various service categories. The estimates were gathered from the Commission’s Universal Licensing System (ULS) and CORES databases. The purpose of this information collection is to streamline the set of rules which minimize filing requirements via the Universal Licensing System (ULS); to eliminate redundant and unnecessary submission requirements; and to assure ongoing collection of reliable licensing and ownership data. The recordkeeping and third party disclosure requirements, along with certifications which are made via filing FCC Form 601 are ways the Commission reduced the filing burdens on the industry. However, applicants must maintain records to document compliance with the requirements for which they provide certifications. In some instances third party coordination is required. Previously, wireless applicants and licensees used a myriad of forms for various wireless services and types of requests, and the information provided on these applications had been collected in separate databases, each for a different group of services. That process has now been drastically improved, simplified and streamlined. E:\FR\FM\29APN1.SGM 29APN1
