ACTION: Notice; request for comments.
AGENCY:
As part of its continuing effort
to reduce paperwork burden and as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501—
3520), the Federal Communications
Commission invites the general public
and other Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on the
following information collection(s).
Comments are requested concerning:
whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
the accuracy of the Commission’s
burden estimate; ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; 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 ways to
further reduce the information 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

Services, FCC 123–153.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: New collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities, not-for-profit institutions
and state, local or tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 6,387
respondents; 6,387 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 134
hours (average).
Frequency of Response: One time
reporting requirement and

Statutory authority for this information
collection is contained in 47 U.S.C.

Privacy Impact Assessment: N/A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission adopted two orders to
protect proprietary and confidential
information in this proceeding. The
Modified Protective Order protects
respondents against public disclosure of
proprietary and commercially sensitive
information. Such information is
marked ‘‘confidential,’’ is redacted from
public documents, and may only be
disclosed to counsel (either in-house or
outside) or experts and their employees
who comply with the procedures in the
Modified Protective Order. Under the
Modified Protective Order, disclosure is
limited to counsel or experts and their
employees that are not involved in
competitive decision-making, i.e., do
not participate in any of the client’s
business decisions made in light of
information about a competitor.
In response to requests from
interested parties, the Bureau adopted a
E:\FR\FM\12FEN1.SGM
12FEN1
9912
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 29 / Tuesday, February 12, 2013 / Notices
Second Protective Order, which
provides for more stringent protection of
information deemed ‘‘highly
confidential.’’ As opposed to the
confidential data covered by the
Modified Protective Order, the Second
Protective Order, documents—or
portions thereof—are eligible for highly
confidential treatment only if they fall
into one of eight categories of
information designated as ‘‘highly
confidential’’ by the Bureau.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will submit this new information
collection to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for approval after
this comment period In a December
2012 Report and Order, FCC 12–153, the
Commission initiated a comprehensive
special access data collection and
specified the nature of the data to be
collected and the scope of respondents.
In conjunctions with the market
analysis proposed by the Commission in
a December 2012 Further Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking, FCC 12–153, the
data, information and documents
acquired through this new collection
will aid the Commission in conducting
a comprehensive evaluation of
competition in the special access market
and updating its rules for pricing
flexibility for special access services.

address information obtained from
participants in the speed test. The
Commission will not release individual
personally identifiable information (PII)
to the public. As noted in the
supporting statement, page 2, the FCC is
committed to protecting the PII that is
being collected, stored, maintained, and
used as part of the Broadband Plan and
the Broadband Map and the related
impact studies and filing processes.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission is not requesting that
respondents submit confidential
information to the Commission. If the
Commission requests that respondents
submit information which respondents
believe is confidential, respondents may
request confidential treatment of such
information pursuant to section 0.459 of
the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 0.459.
The FCC has a system of records, FCC/
OSP–1, ‘‘Broadband Dead Zone Report
and Consumer Broadband Test,’’ to
cover the collection, purpose(s), storage,
safeguards, and disposal of the
personally identifiable information (PII)
that individuals may submit to enable
these US residents to voluntarily report
the unavailability of broadband service
at the household street address level
and to test the speed and quality of their
broadband service and to provide the
Commission with unique data on
household availability of broadband and
on relative broadband speeds.
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 seeking an extension for these
requirements. There is no change in the
Commission’s previous burden
estimates.
The Broadband Data Improvement
Act of 2008, Public Law 110–385, Stat
4096, section 103(c)(1) directs the
Commission to collect information on
the types of technology used to provide
broadband to large businesses and small
businesses, the price of such services,
actual data transmission speeds and the
reasons for non-adoption of broadband
service. Additionally, the FCC in the
2008 Broadband Data Gather Order (23
FCC Rcd at 9699, para. 18, 73 FR 37869,
73 FR 37911), instructs the Commission
to ‘‘design and implement a voluntary
system that households may use to
report availability and speed of
broadband Internet access service at
their premises.’’
The purpose of this collection is to
enable residents of the United States to
voluntarily report the unavailability of
broadband service at the household
street address level and to test the speed
