We note that the universal service administrator must preserve the confidentiality of all data obtained from respondents and contributors to the universal service support program mechanism; must not use the data except for purposes of administering the universal service support program; and must not disclose data in company-specific form unless directed to do so by the Commission. Needs and Uses: The Federal Communications Commission (hereinafter referred to as the Commission or FCC) seeks Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval of revisions (change in reporting and recordkeeping requirements) of an information collection (IC) previously approved by OMB under this OMB Control Number 3060–0804, which is utilized for the rural health care (RHC) support mechanism of the Commission’s universal service fund (USF). The PO 00000 Frm 00036 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 19479 purpose of the revision is to seek approval for: (1) New information collection requirements associated with the Healthcare Connect Fund, a new RHC fund created by the Commission’s Report and Order, Rural Health Care Support Mechanism, WC Docket No. 02–60, FCC 12–150 (released Dec. 21, 2012) (Healthcare Connect Fund Order); (2) new information collection requirements associated with a skilled nursing facilities pilot program (SNF Pilot) created in the Healthcare Connect Fund Order; (3) revisions to the annual reporting requirement for participants in the Commission’s existing rural health care Pilot Program (2006 Pilot Program), created in 2006; and (4) extend the information collection requirements for the existing RHC programs (the Telecommunications Program and the Internet Access Program, as well as the 2006 Pilot Program). The Commission issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in July 2010 (FCC 10–125) that led to the Healthcare Connect Fund Order, and received OMB pre-approval for the information collection requirements proposed in the NPRM. The Healthcare Connect Fund Order, however, adopted information collection requirements that are in some ways significantly different from those proposed in the NPRM, based on the comments received in the rulemaking proceeding. Many of the proposed requirements have been modified in light of commenters’ recommendations on streamlining and simplifying the information collection burden, especially on smaller health care providers. The information collections described in this notice are contained in new rules adopted in the Healthcare Connect Fund Order (47 CFR 54.601(b), 54.631(a), 54.631(c), 54.632, 54.633(c), 54.634(b), 54.636, 54.639(d), 54.640(b), 54.642, 54.643, 54.645, 54.646, 54.647, 54.648(b), 54.675(d), and 54.679), and existing rules as amended by the Healthcare Connect Fund Order (47 CFR 54.603(a), 54.603(b), 54.609(d)(2), 54.615(c), 54.619(a)(1), 54.619(d), and 54.623(a)). Beginning in Funding Year 2012, its filing process to provide a simple, webbased, user-friendly interface for submission of the Telecommunications and Internet Access Program information collections. Applicants are also able to upload required documentation (such as a bill) as they complete the online form. The interface is designed to provide online storage of applications and related materials for health care providers, in order to ease compliance with recordkeeping requirements and possible audits.
