SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060–1094.
Title: Sections 4.1 and 4.2, and Part 4
of the Commission’s Rules Concerning
Disruptions to Communications
(NORS).
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit, not-for-profit institutions, and
state, local or tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 71
respondents; 139 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 2
hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirements.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. sections 151,
154, 218, 219, 256, 301, 302, 303, 403
and 621.
Total Annual Burden: 19,738 hours.
Total Annual Cost: N/A.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
In accordance with 47CFR 4.2 of the
Commission’s rules, reports under Part
4 are presumed confidential.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will submit this expiring information
collection (IC) to the OMB during this
comment period. The Commission is
seeking OMB approval for an extension
(there are no changes to the reporting
requirement). The Commission is
reporting a significant increase of 10,100
total annual burden hours. This is due
to a recalculation of our burden
estimates and fewer respondents
reporting information. The estimated
number of respondents fluctuates
because of the type of event to be
reported and the location where it
occurred.
In recognition of the critical need for
rapid, full, and accurate information on
service disruptions that could affect
homeland security, public health and
safety, as well as the economic wellbeing of our Nation, and in view of the
increasing importance of non-wireline
communications in the Nation’s
communications networks, and critical
infrastructure, the Commission adopted
rules requiring mandatory service
disruptions reporting from all
communications providers (cable,

satellite, wireline and wireless) that
provide voice and/or paging
communications. As envisioned, the
information collected pursuant to these
rules has helped improve network
reliability.
OMB Control Number: 3060–1139.
Title: Residential Fixed Broadband
Services Testing and Measurement.
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Individuals or
households and business or other forprofit.
Number of Respondents: 11,016
respondents; 11,016 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: The
estimated time per response is 1 hour
for respondents based on a 10 minute
initial sign-up for the panel; 30 minutes
to connect and install the hardware
appliance; and two 10-minute contacts
to be conducted by the vendor over the
course of the study period. The 16 ISP
partners participating in the study is
estimated at 200 hours per respondent
per partner for all participation
activities.
Frequency of Response: Biennial
reporting requirement and third party
disclosure requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Voluntary.
Statutory authority for this information
collection is contained in the Broadband
Data Improvement Act of 2008, Public
Law 110–385, Stat 4096 § 103(c)(1).
Total Annual Burden: 14,200 hours.
Total Annual Cost: N/A.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: This
information collection affects
individuals or households. However,
the collection of personally identifiable
information (PII) is not being collected,
made available or accessible by the
Commission but instead by third parties
including SamKnows, a third party
contractor and ISP Partners.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
No personally identifiable information
(PII) will be transmitted to the
Commission from the contractor as a
matter of vendor policy. SamKnows
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 in a ‘‘privacy
statement’’ highlighting what
information will be collected. ISP
Partners will receive personally
identifying information about
volunteers to confirm the validity of the
information against their subscription
records, but will be bound by a nondisclosure agreement that will maintain
various administrative, technical and
PO 00000

physical safeguards to protect the
information and limit its use. ISP
Partners will provide support to the
testing program will likewise be bound
to the same series of administrative,
technical and physical safeguards
developed by SamKnows. In addition,
all third parties supporting the program
directly will be bound by a ‘‘Code of
Conduct’’ to ensure that all participate
and act in good faith.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will submit this expiring information
collection (IC) to the OMB during this
comment period. The Commission is
requesting OMB approval for an
extension (no change in the reporting
and/or third party disclosure
requirements). There is no change in the
Commission’s burden estimates that
were submitted and approved by OMB
on October 4, 2010.
The Broadband Data Improvement
Act of 2008, Public Law 110–385, Stat
4096 § 103(c)(1) directs the Commission
to collect information on the type of
technology used to provide broadband
to consumers, the price of such services,
actual transmission speeds, and the
reasons for non-adoption of broadband
service.
The collection of information is
necessary to complete research done for
the Broadband Plan on key consumer
issues including transparency and
actual speeds and performance of
broadband service.

burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on the respondents,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology; and (e) ways to
further reduce the information
collection burden for small business
concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
The FCC may not conduct or sponsor
a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
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 valid OMB control
number.
Written Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) comments should be
submitted on or before January 31, 2011.
If you anticipate that you will be

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will submit this expiring information
collection (IC) to the OMB during this
comment period. The Commission is
seeking OMB approval for a revision.
The Commission is reporting a 114 hour
program change decrease to the total
burden hour estimate. The revision is
because 47 CFR section 23.20 has been
removed from this information
collection since the last time OMB
approved this information collection.
The Commission adopted and
released a Report and Order, IB Docket
No. 05–216, FCC 10–7, which
eliminated Part 23 rules because there
were no International Fixed Public
Radiocommunications Services (IFPRS)
licenses in operation.
The information collected is used to
facilitate coordination between the
Observatory and Commission-licensed
services in the Commonwealth of Puerto
Rico. Applicants for new or modified
radio communication facilities within
the Coordination Zone are required to
submit technical information
concerning the applicant’s proposed
services to enable the Observatory to
determine the potential for interference
with its operations. The Observatory
will perform interference evaluations at
no cost to the applicants. If potential
interference problems are identified,
applicants are required to make
reasonable attempts to resolve or
mitigate such problems in order to
protect the Observatory.
