sections 151 – 154, 201 – 205, 218 –
220, 254, 303(r) and 403 .
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.

responses.
Estimated Time Per Response: .166
hours to 4 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion

information collection. Information on

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.
