SamKnows, Inc. maintains a series of administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect against the transmission of personally identifying information. At point of registrations, individuals will be given full disclosure, highlighting what information will be collected, and importantly, what information will not be collected. Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Yes. See Privacy Act Impact Assessment above. Needs and Uses: The Commission submitted this information collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on April 2, 2010 under the emergency processing provisions of 5 CFR 1320.13. The Commission obtained OMB approval on 4/30/2010. Emergency OMB approvals are only granted for six months. Therefore the Commission is now seeking the full three year clearance for this information collection. There is no change in the Commission’ estimated burden. There is no change in the reporting requirements. The Commission’s Office of Strategic Policy and Planning Analysis and the Consumer and Intergovernmental Affairs Bureau plan to conduct a hardware–based test and analysis of 11,000 consumer broadband connections to examine the performance of services across a number of parameters. This survey is crucial to comparing what consumers know – and need to know – about the speeds and performance, and terms and conditions of broadband and related services to services purchased. The Commission has contracted with SamKnows, Inc. to measure the speeds and performance of a representative, cost–effective, statistically relevant sample of US fixed broadband households across geographies, technologies and providers. This measurement will occur on an opt–in, voluntary basis. This representative sample will be used to create a baseline level of performance and measurements for the FCC. The third party measurement contractor will deploy testing devices to begin measurement, and these results will be then used to inform measurement standards for performance of broadband services, in support of the FCC–led National Broadband Plan.
