Total Annual Costs: None.
Privacy Impact Assessment(s): No

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality with
this collection of information.
Needs and Uses: 47 CFR 73.686
describes a method for measuring signal
strength at a household so that the
satellite and broadcast industries would
have a uniform method for making an
actual determination of the signal
strength that a household received. The
information gathered as part of the
Grade B contour signal strength tests
will be used to indicate whether a
household is ‘‘unserved’’ by over-the-air
network signals.
Satellite and broadcast industries
making field strength measurements for
formal submission to the Commission in
rulemaking proceedings, or making such
measurements upon the request of the
Commission, shall follow the procedure
for making and reporting such
measurements which shall be included
in a report to the Commission and
submitted in affidavit form, in triplicate.
The report shall contain the following
information:
(a) Tables of field strength
measurements, which for each
measuring location; (b) U.S. Geological
Survey topographic maps; (c) All
information necessary to determine the
pertinent characteristics of the
transmitting installation; (d) A list of
calibrated equipment used in the field
strength survey; (e) A detailed
description of the calibration of the
measuring equipment, and (f) Terrain
profiles in each direction in which
measurements were made.
47 CFR 73.686 also requires satellite
and broadcast companies to maintain a
written record describing, for each
location, factors which may affect the
recorded field (i.e., the approximate
time or measurement, weather,
topography, overhead wiring, heights
and types of vegetation, buildings and
other structures, the orientation of the
measuring location, objects of such
shape and size that cause shadows or
reflections, signals received that arrived
from a direction other than that of the
transmitter, survey, list of the measured
value field strength, time and date of the

measurements and signature of the
person making the measurements).
47 CFR 73.686(e) describes the
procedures for measuring the field
strength of digital television signals.
These procedures will be used to
determine whether a household is
eligible to receive a distant digital
network signal from a satellite television
provider, largely rely on existing,
proven methods the Commission has
already established for measuring
analog television signal strength at any
individual location, as set forth in
Section 73.686(d) of the existing rules,
but include modifications as necessary
to accommodate the inherent
differences between analog and digital
TV signals. The new digital signal
measurement procedures include
provisions for the location of the
measurement antenna, antenna height,
signal measurement method, antenna
orientation and polarization, and data
recording.
Therefore, satellite and broadcast
industries making field strength
measurements shall maintain written
records and include the following
information: (a) A list of calibrated
equipment used in the field strength
survey, which for each instrument
specifies the manufacturer, type, serial
number and rated accuracy, and the
date of the most recent calibration by
the manufacturer or by a laboratory.
Include complete details of any
instrument not of standard manufacture;
(b) A detailed description of the
calibration of the measuring equipment,
including field strength meters,
measuring antenna, and connecting
cable; (c) For each spot at the measuring
site, all factors which may affect the
recorded field, such as topography,
height and types of vegetation,
buildings, obstacles, weather, and other
local features; (d) A description of
where the cluster measurements were
made; (e) Time and date of the
measurements and signature of the
person making the measurements; (f)
For each channel being measured, a list
of the measured value of field strength
(in units of dBm after adjustment for line
loss and antenna factor) of the five
readings made during the cluster
measurement process, with the median
value highlighted.

SUMMARY:
Written Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) comments should be

Information (CPNI) and Other Customer
Information, CC Docket No. 96–115.

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 3,600 respondents;

Estimated Time per Response: 0.002
hours—50 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion,
one time, annual and biennial reporting
requirements, recordkeeping
requirement, and third party disclosure
requirements.
Obligation to Respond: Mandatory as
required by section 222 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, 47 U.S.C. 222.
Total Annual Burden: 405,957 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $3,000,000.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impacts.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission is not requesting that
the respondents submit confidential
information to the FCC. Respondents
may, however, request confidential
treatment for information they believe to
be confidential under 47 CFR 0.459 of
the Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: Section 222 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, 47 U.S.C. 222, establishes the
duty of telecommunications carriers to
protect the confidentiality of its
customers’ proprietary information.
This Customer Proprietary Network
Information (CPNI) includes personally
identifiable information derived from a
customer’s relationship with a provider
of telecommunications services. This
information collection implements the
statutory obligations of section 222.
These regulations impose safeguards to
protect customers’ CPNI against
unauthorized access and disclosure. In
March 2007, the Commission adopted
new rules that focused on the efforts of
providers of telecommunications
services to prevent pretexting. These
rules require providers of
telecommunications services to adopt
additional privacy safeguards that, the
Commission believes, will limit
pretexters’ ability to obtain
unauthorized access to the type of
personal customer information from
carriers that the Commission regulates.
In addition, in furtherance of the
Telephone Records and Privacy
Protection Act of 2006, the
Commission’s rules help ensure that law
