Number of Respondents: 2,500
respondents; 5,140 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: .50
hours–2.25 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
and one time reporting requirements,
third party disclosure requirement and
recordkeeping requirement.
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(i), 301, 303(f), 303(g), 303(r), 307,
308 and 316.
Total Annual Burden: 3,510 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $302,667.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality.
Respondents or applicants may request
materials or information submitted to
the Commission be withheld from
public inspection under 47 CFR 0.459 of
the Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will submit this information collection
(IC) to the OMB during this comment
period as a revision. The Commission is
seeking OMB approval because the FCC
adopted and released a Fourth
Memorandum Opinion and Order, (2008
Order), FCC 08–83, which adopted
section 27.14(o) of the Commission’s
rules. That rule requires all Broadband
Radio Service (BRS) and Educational
Broadband Service (EBS) licensees to
make a showing of ‘‘substantial service’’
no later than May 1, 2011 on a licenseby-license basis. This requirement was
modified by the Third Report and Order
(2010 Order), FCC 10–107, to require
that licensees issued a new BRS license
on or After November 6, 2009, would
have four years from the date of initial
license grant to provide substantial
service. A licensee must demonstrate
that it provided service which is sound,
favorable, and substantially above a
level of mediocre service which might
minimally warrant renewal.
The Commission has changed it’s
burden estimates for this information
collection. The Commission has
recalculated (adjusted) the burden hours
because the number of respondents/
responses has been reduced by 4,947
hours. This is due to fewer respondents
since this was last submitted to OMB.
The transition to the new band plan is
largely complete and most of the
transition-related requirements
contained in this collection are no
longer necessary. The program change
increase in annual costs is due to
approximately two-third of respondents
will contract out to an outside source to
prepare the ‘‘substantial showing’’
requirement.

Commission is requesting an extension
(no change in the reporting
requirements and/or third party
disclosure requirements) of this
information collection. The Commission
is reporting a 243 hour increase in the
total annual burden. The increase is due
to a re-calculation of the estimated
number of respondents/responses.
The monitoring program is necessary
for the Commission, the Joint Board,
Congress and the general public to
assess the impact of the universal
service support mechanisms. The
program requires periodic reporting by
telephone companies and the universal
service administrator. Failure to
implement the program would make it
impossible to determine the impact of
these mechanisms and to assure that the
implementation of section 254 fulfills
the intent of Congress and furthers the
public interest. This information
collection should be continued because
the Commission had adopted new
mechanisms to implement section 254
of the Act and because the network
usage and growth data have proven to
be a valuable source of information
about the advancement of universal
service.
