FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS
COMMISSION
Notice of Public Information
Collection(s) Being Submitted for
Review and Approval to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB),

The Federal Communications
Commission, as part of its continuing
effort to reduce paperwork burden
invites the general public and other
Federal agencies to take this

following information collection(s), as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520.

burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; (d) ways to

does not display a currently valid OMB
control number.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060–0004.
Title: Sections 1.1307 and 1.1311,
Guidelines for Evaluating the
Environmental Effects of
Radiofrequency, Second Memorandum
Opinion and Order, ET Docket No. 93–
62.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Individuals or
households, business or other for-profit,
not-for-profit institutions and state,
local or tribal government.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 190,905 respondents;
190,905 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: .36
hours (average).
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting 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 154,
302, 303, and 307.
Total Annual Burden: 69,463 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $10,355,260.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes.
The Commission has a System of
Records, FCC/WTB–1, ‘‘Wireless
Services Licensing Records,’’ which
covers the personally identifiable
information (PII) that individual
PO 00000
Frm 00020
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
applicants may include in their
submission for licenses or grants of
equipment authorization. At such time
as the Commission revises this System
of Records Notice (SORN), the
Commission will conduct a Privacy
Impact Assessment (PIA) and publish
the revised SORN in the Federal
Register. In addition, the Commission
will post a copy of both the PIA and the
SORN on the FCC’s Privacy Web page.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is minimal exemption from the
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5
U.S.C. 552(b)(4), and 47 CFR 0.459 of
the Commission’s rules, that is granted
for trade secrets, which may be
submitted to the Commission as part of
the documentation of test results. No
other assurances of confidentiality are
provided to respondents.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will submit this expiring information
collection during this comment period
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) to obtain the full, three year
clearance from them. The Commission
is requesting approval for an extension
(no change in the reporting,
recordkeeping and/or third party
disclosure requirements). The
Commission is reporting a 94,469 hour
and a $18,336,443 reduction adjustment
in burden. This reduction is due to
fewer responses than the last time this
collection was submitted to OMB for
review and approval.
This information collection is a result
of responsibility placed on the FCC by
the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) of 1969. NEPA requires that
each federal agency evaluate the impact
of ‘‘major actions significantly affecting
the quality of the human environment.’’
It is the FCC’s opinion that this is the
most efficient and reasonable method of
complying with NEPA with regard to
the environmental issue of
radiofrequency radiation from FCCregulated transmitters.
The Commission requires applicants
to submit limited information during
the licensing and authorization process.
In many services, the Commission
simply requires licensees to provide
reliable service to specific geographic
areas, but does not require licensees to
file site-specific information. It does not
appear that the FCC’s present licensing
methods can provide public notification
of site-specific information without
imposing new and significant additional
burden to the Commission’s applicants.
However, we note that applicants with
the greatest potential to exceed the
Commission’s exposure limits are
required to perform an environmental
evaluation as part of the licensing and
authorization process.
E:\FR\FM\17MRN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 52 / Thursday, March 17, 2011 / Notices
The Commission advises concerned
members of the public, seeking sitespecific information, to contact the FCC
for the name and telephone number of
the service providers in the concerned
party’s area. The Commission
encourages all service providers to
provide site-specific, technical
information and environmental
evaluation documentation upon public
request. In addition, we note alternative
sources of information may be state and
local governments, which may collect
some site-specific information as part of
the zoning process.

or before April 18, 2011.
ADDRESSES: Interested parties are
invited to submit written comments by
any of the following methods. All

notice.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Survey on Banks’ Efforts to
Serve the Unbanked and Underbanked
(Bank Survey) collection of information
consists of two related survey
instruments: (1) A survey of insured
depository institution headquarters

specific products and services offered at
each location. The estimated burden for
the surveys is as follows:
1. Headquarters Survey
OMB Number: 3064–0158.
Frequency of Response: once.
Affected Public: FDIC-insured
depository institutions headquarters
offices.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
469.
Estimated Time per Response: 30
minutes per respondent.
Estimated Burden: 0.5 hours × 469
respondents = 234.5 hours.
2. Branch Office Survey
OMB Number: 3064–0158.
Frequency of Response: Once.
Affected Public: FDIC-insured
depository institutions branch offices.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,300.
Estimated Time per Response: 30
minutes per respondent.
Estimated Burden: 0.5 hours × 1,300
respondents = 650 hours.
Total estimated burden for this
collection: 234.5 hours + 650 hours =
884.5 hours.
General Description of Collection
The FDIC has a number of initiatives
underway to encourage practical
solutions to ensure that all consumers
have reasonable access to full service
banking and other financial services.
The FDIC believes that insured
depositories can provide a path into the
financial mainstream for those who
need these financial services, and that
depository institutions can create an
array of affordable transactional,
savings, and lending services to meet
the needs of all their customers.
Currently, a significant segment of the
population relies on a mix of non-bank
financial service providers for their
needs. The FDIC has undertaken a series
of investigations in this area, including
the Bank Survey. The survey is
mandated by section 7 of the Reform
Act, which calls for the FDIC to conduct
ongoing surveys ‘‘on efforts by insured
depository institutions to bring those
individuals and families who have
rarely, if ever, held a checking account,
a savings account or other type of
transaction or check cashing account at
an insured depository institution
(hereafter in this section referred to as
the ‘unbanked’) into the conventional
finance system.’’ The Reform Act
specifically mandates that the FDIC
consider the following factors and
questions in conducting the survey:
