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.
