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

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.

The FCC may not conduct or sponsor
a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control

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.
Persons wishing to comment on

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

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

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

system of records, FCC/WTB–7,
‘‘Remedy Action Request System’’
(RARS). There are no additional impacts
under the Privacy Act.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
Submission of the form is voluntary.
Individuals may decline to provide the
information requested in the on-line
form; however, support will not be
funnled via electronic means into the
Commission. The customer will have to
call the Commission to request support
in lieu of submitting an electronic
submission.

will submit this expiring information
collection to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) after this comment
period to obtain the full, three year

The FCC maintains Internet software
used by the public to apply for licenses,
participate in auctions for spectrum,
and maintain license information. In
this mission, FCC has a ‘‘help desk’’ that
answers questions related to these
systems as well as requesting and/or
issuing user passwords for access to
these systems. The form currently is
available on the Commission’s Web site
https://esupport.fcc.gov/request.htm

all the information needed to facilitate
a support request will be submitted in
a standard format but be available to a
wider audience. This eliminates or at
least minimizes the need to follow-up
with the customers to obtain all the
information necessary to respond to
their request. This form also helps
presort requests into previously defined
categories to all staff to respond more
quickly.
