However, no personally identifiable
information (PII) will be transmitted to
the Commission from the survey
contract vendor as a matter of vendor
policy. SamKnows, Inc. maintains a
series of administrative, technical and
physical safeguards to protect against
the transmission of personally
identifying information. At point of
registration, individuals will be given
full disclosure, highlighting what
information will be collected, and

to obtain the full three year clearance

from the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB). There is no change in
the reporting requirement and there is
no change in the Commission’s burden
estimates.
On April 2, 2010, the Commission
submitted this information collection to
the OMB under their emergency
processing provisions of 5 CFR 1320.13.
The Commission obtained OMB
approval on 4/30/2010. Emergency
approvals are only granted for six
months. Therefore, the Commission is
now seeking the regular clearance from
them.
The Commission’s Office of Strategic
Policy and Planning Analysis and the
Consumer Intergovernmental Affairs
Bureau plan to continue 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 contractor
(SamKnows, Inc.) 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.

The purpose of the FCC Form 602 is
to obtain the identity of the filer and to
elicit information required by 47 CFR

regarding: 1) Persons or entities holding
a 10 percent or greater direct or indirect
ownership interest or any general
partners in a general partnership

(FRN), which serves as a ‘‘common link’’
for all filings an entity has with the FCC.
The Debt Collection Improvement Act of
1996 requires that entities filing with
the Commission use a FRN. The FCC
form 602 was designed for, and must be
filed electronically by, all licensees that

The FCC Form 602 is comprised of
the main form containing information
regarding he filer and the Schedule A is
used to collect ownership data
pertaining to the Disclosable Interest
Holder(s). Each Disclosable Interest
Holder will have a separate Schedule A.
Thus, a filer will submit its FCC Form
602 with multiple copies of Schedule A,
as necessary to list each Disclosable
Interest Holder and associated
information.
