Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is some need for confidentiality
with this collection of information.
Invoices, receipts, contracts and other
cost documentation submitted along
with the form will be kept confidential
in order to protect the identification of

contracts between parties. Vendor name
and Employer Identification Numbers
(EIN) or Taxpayer Identification Number

Needs and Uses: The collection is
being made to the Office of Management

collection requirements contained in the
Commission’s Incentive Auction Order,
FCC 14–50, which adopted rules for
holding an Incentive Auction, as
required by the Middle Class Tax Relief
and Job Creation Act of 2012 (Spectrum
Act). The information gathered in this
collection will be used to provide
reimbursement to television broadcast
stations that are relocated to a new
channel following the Federal
Communications Commission’s
Incentive Auction, and to multichannel
video programming distributors
(MVDPs) that incur costs in carrying the
signal of relocated television broadcast
stations. Relocated television
broadcasters and MVPDs (‘‘eligible
entities’’) will be reimbursed for their
reasonable costs incurred as a result of
relocation from the TV Broadcaster
Relocation Fund. Eligible entities will
use the TV Broadcaster Relocation Fund
Reimbursement Form (FCC Form 2100,
Schedule 399) to submit an estimate of
their eligible relocation costs; to submit
actual cost documentation (such as
receipts and invoices) throughout the
construction period, as they incur
expenses; and to account for the total
expenses incurred at the end of the
project.

As part of its continuing effort

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)

believe is confidential, respondents may
request confidential treatment under 47

Needs and Uses: The Commission
seeks to revise OMB 3060–0856 to
conform this information collection to
changes implemented in the Report and
Order and Further Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (E-Rate Modernization
Order) (WC Docket No. 13–184, FCC 14–

Collection of the information on FCC
Form 472 is necessary to establish the
process and procedure for an eligible
applicant to seek reimbursement from
the E-rate program for the discounts on
services paid in full to a service
provider. The Universal Service
Administrative Company (USAC)
reviews the information collected on
FCC Form 472, along with invoices from
the service provider, to verify the
eligibility of the services for E-rate
support, approve the amount that
should be reimbursed, ensure that each
service provider has provided
discounted services within the current
funding year for which it submits an
invoice to USAC, and confirm that
invoices submitted from service
providers for the costs of discounted
eligible services do not exceed the
amount that has been approved.

Collection of information on FCC
Form 473 is necessary to establish that
the participating service provider is
eligible to participate in the E-rate
program, confirm that the invoice forms
submitted by the service provide are in
compliance with the Federal
Communications Commission’s E-rate
rules, and enable the service provider to
certify its compliance with the E-rate
rules. The FCC Form 473 is also used by
USAC to assure that the dollars paid out
by the universal service fund go to
eligible providers.
Collection of information on FCC
Form 474 is necessary to establish the
process and procedure for a service
provider to seek payment for the
discounted costs of services it provided
to billed entities for eligible services.
After receiving an invoice from the
service provider, together with an FCC
Form 474, USAC is able to verify that
the eligible and approved amounts can
be paid. The FCC Form 474 is also used
to ensure that each service provider has
provided discounted services within the
current funding year for which it
submits an invoice to USAC and that
invoices submitted from service
providers for the costs of discounted
eligible services do not exceed the
amount that has been approved.
This information collection is being
revised pursuant to program and rule
changes in the E-Rate Modernization
Order that require the collection of
information necessary to allow USAC to
make direct payments to applicants, and
add service provider certifications to the
FCC Form 473, the Service Provider
Annual Certification Form. The
information collection is also being
revised to accommodate USAC’s new
online portal and the E-Rate
Modernization Order requirement that
the forms in this collection be filed
electronically.
All of the requirements contained in
this information collection are necessary
for the Commission to ensure
compliance by applicants and/or
vendors with the requirement of the Erate program, to protect the program
from waste, fraud and abuse and to
evaluate the extent to which the E-rate
program is meeting the statutory
objectives specified in section 254(h) of
the 1996 Act, and the Commission’s
own performance goals established in
the E-rate Modernization Order.
