Commercial Mobile Alert System
(CMAS). The CMAS Third R&O noted
that this filing requirement was subject
to OMB review and approval. The
Commission received ‘‘pre-approval’’
from the OMB on February 4, 2008. The
Commission began accepting CMAS
election filings on or before September
8, 2008.
All CMS providers are required to
submit a CMAS election, including
those that were not licensed at the time
of the initial filing deadline with the
FCC. In addition, any CMS provider
choosing to withdraw its election must
notify the Commission at least sixty (60)
days prior to the withdrawal of its
election. The information collected will
be the CMS provider’s contact
information and its election, i.e., a ‘‘yes’’
or ‘‘no’’, on whether it intends to
provide commercial mobile service
alerts.
The Commission will use the
information collected to meet its
statutory requirement under the WARN
Act to accept licensees’ election filings
and to establish an effective CMAS that
will provide the public with effective
mobile alerts in a manner that imposes

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes.
The Commission completed a Privacy
Impact Assessment (PIA) for some of the
information collection requirements
contained in this collection. The PIA
was published in the Federal Register at
78 FR 73535 on December 6, 2013. The
PIA may be reviewed at: https://
www.fcc.gov/omd/privacyact/Privacy_
Impact_Assessment.html.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
Some of the requirements contained in
this information collection affect
individuals or households, and thus,
there are impacts under the Privacy Act.
The FCC’s system of records notice
(SORN) associated with this collection
is FCC/WCB–1, ‘‘Lifeline Program.’’ The
Commission will use the information
contained in FCC/WCB–1 to cover the
personally identifiable information (PII)
that is required as part of the Lifeline
Program (‘‘Lifeline’’). As required by the
Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, 5
U.S.C. 552a, the Commission published
FCC/WCB–1 ‘‘Lifeline Program’’ in the
Federal Register on December 6, 2013
(78 FR 73535).
Also, respondents may request
materials or information submitted to
the Commission or to the Universal
Service Administrative Company
(USAC or Administrator) be withheld
from public inspection under 47 CFR
0.459 of the FCC’s rules. We note that
USAC must preserve the confidentiality
of all data obtained from respondents;
must not use the data except for
purposes of administering the universal
service programs; and must not disclose
data in company-specific form unless
directed to do so by the Commission.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will submit this information collection
after this comment period to obtain
approval from the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) of proposed
revisions to this information collection.
On April 27, 2016, the Commission
released an order reforming its lowincome universal service support
mechanisms. Lifeline and Link Up

Commission seeks to update the number
of respondents for certain requirements
contained in this information collection,
thus increasing the total burden hours
for some requirements and decreasing
the total burden hours for other
requirements. Finally, the Commission
seeks to revise the FCC Form 555 to
reflect the transition to the National
Verifier.
