SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: In May 2012, the
CSMAC created five (5) working groups
to consider ways to facilitate the
transition of the 1695–1710 MHz and
1755–1850 MHz bands.1 The working
groups were open to CSMAC members,
federal agency representatives, and nonfederal stakeholders even if they were
not affiliated with the members on the
full Committee. Each working group
was co-chaired by an industry and an
agency participant and each group
included one or more CSMAC member
liaisons. Staff from NTIA and the
Federal Communications Commission
also participated as observers.
The four working groups addressed
the various federal operations within
the two spectrum bands as follows:

• Working Group 1—1695–1710 MHz
Meteorological-Satellite
• Working Group 2—Law Enforcement
Video, Explosive Ordnance Disposal,
and other short distance links;
• Working Group 3—Satellite Control
and Electronic Warfare;
• Working Group 4—Tactical Radio
Relay, Fixed Microwave, and groundbased software defined radios; and
• Working Group 5—Airborne
Operations (Air Combat Training
Systems, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles,
Precision Guided Munitions, airborne
software defined radios, and
Aeronautical Telemetry)
From May 2012 to August 2013, the
working groups organized themselves
and developed work plans, convened
face-to-face and teleconference
meetings, drafted and edited reports,
provided updates to the full CSMAC
through the member liaisons, and
delivered final reports and
recommendations for consideration by
the Committee. In a recent executive
memorandum, President Obama stated
that these discussions between agencies
and nonfederal entities have ‘‘produced
an unprecedented level of informationsharing and collaboration to identify
opportunities for agencies to relinquish
or share spectrum.’’ 2
Matters To Be Considered: At this
meeting, NTIA will facilitate a forum for
the CSMAC Working Group participants
to discuss lessons learned from the
collaborative efforts within the five (5)
working groups. NTIA will post an
agenda for the meeting on its Web site,
https://www.ntia.doc.gov/category/
csmac, prior to the meeting. To the
extent that the meeting time and agenda
permit, any member of the public may
speak to or otherwise address the forum
regarding the agenda items. Although
some CSMAC members will be
participating, this meeting is not a
meeting of the Committee under the
Federal Advisory Committee Act. The
CSMAC’s next meeting will be held
later the same day.
Time and Date: The meeting will be
held on December 13, 2013 from 9:00
a.m. to 11:00 a.m., Eastern Standard
Time. The times and the agenda topics
are subject to change. The meeting will
be available via two-way audio link.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA, federal agencies must obtain
approval from the Office of Management
and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for each collection
of information they collect or sponsor.
The collection of information is defined
in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) as the obtaining,
causing to be obtained, soliciting of facts
or opinions by or for an agency,
regardless of form or format from ten or
more persons. An agency may not
conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, a collection of
information unless it displays a valid
OMB control number. The Commission
is submitting this collection of
information to OMB for approval and
assigning of a collection number,
pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.10.
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, 44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A), requires federal
agencies to provide a 60-day notice in
the Federal Register for each proposed
collection of information before
submitting the collection to OMB for
approval. Under OMB regulations,
which implement provisions of the
PRA, certain facts or opinions submitted
in response to general solicitations of
comments from the public, published in
the Federal Register or other
publications, 5 CFR 1320.3(h)(4), or
facts or opinions obtained or solicited at
or in connection with public hearings or
meetings, 5 CFR 1320.3(h)(8), are
excluded from the OMB approval
process.

In 2010, the Dodd-Frank Act 2
expanded the Commission’s authority
to, among other matters related to
regulatory oversight, establish funding
of consumer education initiatives under
its new Whistleblower authority.3
Under this new authority, the
Commission established an OCO to,
among other efforts, survey the public
regarding consumer education
initiatives.4 This notice announces a
public survey. The survey will include
screening questions to identify the
correct respondents and questions to
determine optimal messages to help
consumers identify, avoid, and report
financial fraud as part of a consumerfacing anti-fraud campaign. This survey
will follow qualitative message testing
research (for which CFTC received fasttrack OMB approval) and is necessary to
identify, with statistical validation,
which of these messages most
effectively help consumers to identify,
avoid, and report financial fraud.
The OCO will use the information
collected in the survey to develop
effective methods to inform the public
on how best to detect and report
financial fraud. This will be done by
creating a final summary report that
combines key findings from both the
survey as well as other qualitative
research.
Findings from the summary report
will be used to inform a directional
document to be used by the OCO that
will include recommendations on
primary messages, support points,
content, overall tone, phrasing and
imagery of outreach efforts on financial
fraud, as well as how to use these
messages in various communications
channels (e.g. online, print, radio, TV
and collateral materials).
The survey will be administered using
an online survey tool. The online
modality approach will allow
presentation of test material to
participants in a more convenient and
time-efficient manner than other
collection methods such as mall
intercepts. The online method also
allows for a quicker turnaround for data
collection. No other collection methods
will be used.
The screening questions will take
about 1 minute to complete. It is
anticipated that 2,200 people will be
screened. The survey will take 15
minutes. 1,100 people will take the 15
minute survey. Based on these

The survey will be administered using an online survey tool. The
online modality approach will allow presentation of test material to
participants in a more convenient and time-efficient manner than other
collection methods such as mall intercepts. The online method also
allows for a quicker turnaround for data collection. No other
collection methods will be used.
The screening questions will take about 1 minute to complete. It is
anticipated that 2,200 people will be screened. The survey will take 15
minutes. 1,100 people will take the 15 minute survey. Based on these

assumptions, the total burden hours will be 330 hours. This estimate
includes the time to prepare the survey and transmit it to the
Commission. The Commission estimates the average burden of this
collection of information as follows:
