VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:07 Jul 13, 2010 Jkt 220001 Form Numbers: FCC Forms 499–A and 499–Q. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Respondents: Business or other for– profit and not–for–profit institutions. Number of Respondents and Responses: 9,672 respondents; 44,574 responses. Estimated Time per Response: 13.5 – 25 hours. Frequency of Response: On occasion, annual and quarterly reporting requirements. Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. sections 151, 154(i), 154(j), 157, 201, 205, 214, 225, 254 and 303(r). Total Annual Burden: 281,710 hours. Total Annual Cost: N/A. Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission will allow respondents to certify that data contained in their submissions is privileged or confidential commercial or financial information and that disclosure of such information would likely cause substantial harm to the competitive position of the entity filing the FCC worksheets. If the Commission receives a request for or proposes to disclose the information, the respondent would be required to make the full showing pursuant to the Commission’s rules for withholding from public inspection information submitted to the Commission. 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. The Commission is reporting an extension (no change in the reporting requirements). The Commission is reporting a 8,581 hour adjustment increase. This adjustment to our burden estimates reflects a re– estimate of the number of responses for some requirements and correcting some errors in previous burden calculations. The Commission uses the collected information to evaluate individual contributor’s contributions to the universal service mechanisms, pursuant to section 254 of the Act. Consistent with the Commission’s existing policy, contributors will file a FCC Form 499– Q on a quarterly basis and/or the FCC Form 499–A on an annual basis. The Commission continues to believe that its reporting requirements will not be burdensome for contributors, as they need to track such information for their own internal business purposes.
