Commission is denied, the respondent
has five days to seek a judicial stay.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will submit this information collection
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) during this comment period to
obtain the full three year clearance from
them. The Commission is submitting
this expiring information collection as
an extension (no change in the reporting
requirement). The Commission is
correcting the number of respondents
and burden hours originally submitted
to OMB as an emergency request in
January. With this submission to OMB,
we are reporting more accurate
estimates.
The American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA)
authorized the Federal Communications
Commission to create the National
Broadband Plan that shall seek to ensure
that all people of the United States have
access to broadband capability and shall
establish benchmarks for meeting that
goal. Consistent with this effort, the
Wireline Competition Bureau of the
Commission seeks to conduct a survey
of all applicants under the Schools and
Libraries Universal Service Program, as
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 and
technological needs as part of the
National Broadband Plan.

number. No person shall be subject to
any penalty for failing to comply with
a collection of information subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that
does not display a currently valid OMB
control number.
DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) comments should be
submitted on or before July 14, 2010. If
you anticipate that you will be
submitting PRA comments, but find it
difficult to do so within the period of
time allowed by this notice, you should
advise the FCC contact listed below as
soon as possible.
ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to
Nicholas A. Fraser, Office of
Management and Budget, via fax at 202–
395–5167 or via the Internet at
Nicholas_A._Fraser@omb.eop.gov and

Docket No. 96–98.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for–
profit .
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 15,282 respondents;
1,067,987 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: .50 –
2,880 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement, recordkeeping
requirement and third party disclosure
requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. sections 1 – 4,
201 – 205, 214, 224, 251, 303(r), and
601.
Total Annual Burden: 645,798 hours.
Total Annual Cost: N/A.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission is not requesting
respondents to submit confidential
information to the Commission. If the
respondents wish to submit information
which they believe is confidential, they
may request confidential treatment of
such information under 47 CFR 0.459 of
the Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will submit this expiring information
collection to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) during this comment
period in order to obtain the full three
year clearance from them. There is no
change in the reporting, recordkeeping
and/or third party disclosure
requirements. However, there is a
significant decrease of 409,352 total
annual burden hours and a $625,000
decrease in annual costs. This is due to
several reasons including: (1) re–
calculations of each burden estimate; (2)
re–estimate of the estimated time
burden for some of the information
collection categories; and (3) less time
per response due to familiarity gained
over the years of performing these
functions.
The Commission adopted rules and
regulations to implement parts of
sections 251 and 252 that affect local
competition. Incumbent local exchange
carriers (LECs) are required to offer
interconnection, unbundled network
elements, transport and termination and
wholesale rates for certain services to
new entrants. Incumbent LECs must
price such services at rates that are cost–

likelihood of the authorized facility
causing interference, shall notify the
Interference Office, Arecibo
Observatory, HC3 Box 53995, Arecibo,
