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 July 7, 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@

Form Number: FCC Form 5620.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit, and not-for-profit institutions.
Number of Respondents: 47
respondents; 135 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 2 to 20
hours.
Frequency of Response: One-time and
occasional reporting requirements;
annual recordkeeping requirements.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151–154 and

Total Annual Burden: 1,834 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost(s).
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
Information collected in FCC Form 5620
will be confidential. Information
reported in the November interim
progress report and the build-out
milestone certifications will be made
publicly available.
Needs and Uses: On January 31, 2014,
the Commission released the Tech
Transitions et al., GN Docket No. 13–5
et al., 29 FCC Rcd 1433 (2014) (Tech
Transitions Order), that adopted
targeted experiments to explore the
impact of technology transitions on
rural Americans, including those living
on Tribal lands. On July 14, 2014, the
Commission released Connect America
Fund et al., WC Docket No. 10–90 et al.,
Report and Order and Further Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking, FCC 14–98 (rel.
July 14, 2014) (Rural Broadband
Experiments Order), which established
certain parameters and requirements for
the rural broadband experiments
adopted by the Commission in the Tech
Transitions Order.
This information collection addresses
requirements to carry out the rural
broadband experiments the Commission
adopted in the Tech Transitions Order
and the Rural Broadband Experiments
Order. The Commission has received
OMB approval for most of the
information collections required by the
orders. At a later date, the Commission
plans to submit additional revisions to
a separate information collection for
OMB’s review to address other reporting
requirements adopted in the Rural
Broadband Experiments Order. For this
revision, subject to OMB approval, the
Commission proposes to incorporate the
November interim progress report,
build-out milestone certifications, and
recordkeeping requirements that the
Commission adopted in the Rural

Broadband Experiments Order. If
approved, recipients of the rural
broadband experiments will be required
to submit a one-time report on
November 1st after they begin receiving
support. This report must describe the
status of the recipient’s experiment as of
September 30th immediately preceding
the report (i.e., whether vendors have
been hired, permits have been obtained,
and construction has begun), and
include evidence demonstrating which
locations if any the recipient has built
out to in its project areas and evidence
demonstrating that the recipient is
meeting the public service obligations
for the relevant experiment category,
including a certification that
demonstrates the service the recipient
offers complies with the Commission’s
latency requirements. Rural broadband
experiment recipients will also be
required to certify that they have met
the build-out milestones adopted in the
Rural Broadband Experiments Order.
These certifications will be due for all
recipients by the end of the third year
and fifth year of support. Recipients that
have chosen to receive 30 percent of
their support upfront will also be
required to submit a build-out milestone
certification within 15 months of their
first disbursement. Recipients that are
determined to not be in compliance
with the terms and conditions of the
rural broadband experiments during
their support term will also be required
to submit a certification to demonstrate
that they have come into compliance.
All of these certifications must be
accompanied by the same types of
evidence required for the November
interim progress report. This report and
certifications will enable the
Commission to monitor the progress of
the rural broadband experiments and
ensure that the support is being used for
its intended purposes. Finally, rural
broadband experiment recipients will be
subject to a 10-year record retention
requirement and must make those
documents and records available to the
Commission, any of its Bureaus or
Offices, the Universal Service
Administrative Company, and their
respective auditors to aid these entities
in overseeing the recipients’ compliance
with the terms and conditions of rural
broadband experiment support. The
Commission also proposes to eliminate
FCC Form 5610 that is a part of this
information collection. The deadline to
file FCC Form 5610 with the
Commission was November 7, 2014.
Because the Commission does not
anticipate holding another round of
bidding, no additional entities will be
required to file FCC Form 5610. There

are no proposed changes to the
currently approved FCC Form 5620
which is also a part of this information
collection. However, the Commission
proposes to increase the number of
respondents involved in the postselection review because more winning
bidders were provisionally selected than
the Commission anticipated.
