Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
As part of its continuing effort
to reduce paperwork burdens, and as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–
3520), the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC or the Commission)
invites the general public and other
Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on the
following information collection.
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
collection burden on 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 control
number. No person shall be subject to
any penalty for failing to comply with
a collection of information subject to the
PRA that does not display a valid Office
of Management and Budget (OMB)
control number.
DATES: Written PRA comments should
be submitted on or before February 13,
2015. If you anticipate that you will be
submitting comments, but find it
difficult to do so within the period of
time allowed by this notice, you should
advise the contact listed below as soon
as possible.
ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to
Nicole Ongele, FCC, via email PRA@
fcc.gov and to Nicole.Ongele@fcc.gov.

Title: Universal Service—Schools and
Libraries Universal Service Program,
FCC Forms 470 and 471.
Form Numbers: FCC Forms 470 and
471.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Not-for-profit
institutions, and state, local or tribal
government public institutions.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 82,000 respondents, 82,000
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 3 hours
to fill out FCC Form 470 and 4 hours to
fill out the FCC Form 471 plus 0.5 hours
for each form for the ten-year
recordkeeping requirement.
Frequency of Response: On occasion,
annual reporting, and recordkeeping
requirements.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C.s 151—154,
201—205, 218—220, 254, 303(r), 403,
and 405.
Total Annual Burden: 334,000 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no assurance of confidentiality
provided to respondents concerning this
information collection. If the
Commission requests applicants to
submit information that the respondents
believe is confidential, respondents may
request confidential treatment of their
information under 47 CFR 0.459 of the
Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: FCC Forms 470 and
471 collect the information the
Commission and the Universal Service
Administrative Company (USAC) need
to administer the schools and libraries
universal service mechanism
(informally known as the E-rate
program), determine if entities are
eligible for funding pursuant to the
schools and libraries support
mechanism, determine the amount of
support entities seeking funding are
eligible to receive, determine if entities
are complying with the Commission’s
rules, and prevent waste, fraud, and
abuse. The forms collect specific
information to establish that
economically disadvantaged schools
and rural schools receive a greater share
of E-rate program funding based on the
percentage of students eligible in that
school district for the national school
lunch program (NSLP) (or other
acceptable indicators of economic
disadvantage determined by the
Commission). The student poverty level
needed to determine discounts for
libraries are based on the NSLP

information for the school district
nearby. In the E-rate Modernization
Order, among other things, the
Commission took steps to streamline the
application process, provide exemptions
from competitive bidding, implement a
‘‘district-wide’’ discount calculation
mechanism, establish budgets for
internal broadband connectivity, and
extend the document retention period to
ten years. FCC Forms 470 and 471
execute these changes for the E-rate
application process and enable the
Commission to collect data to facilitate
measurement of progress towards the
adopted performance goals established
in the E-rate Modernization Order.
In addition, this collection is
necessary to allow the Commission to
evaluate the extent to which the E-rate
program is meeting the statutory
objectives specified in section 254(h) of
the 1996 Act.
