Jkt 241001 The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). Agency: National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). Title: Submission of proposed information collection; Computer and Internet Use Supplement to the Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey (CPS). OMB Control Number: 0660–0021. Form Number(s): None. Type of Request: Regular submission (Revision of a currently approved collection). Estimated Number of Respondents: 54,000 households. PO 00000 Frm 00010 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 35935 Estimated Time per Response: 10 minutes. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 9,000. Estimated Total Annual Cost to Public: $0. Needs and Uses: As the next installment of a decades-long series of data collections, NTIA proposes to add 66 questions to the U.S. Census Bureau’s (‘‘Bureau’’) November 2017 CPS to gather reliable data on computer and broadband (also known as highspeed Internet) use by U.S. households. President Trump has expressed support for broadband expansion in the United States, particularly in rural communities, stating an intention to include broadband in the $1 trillion infrastructure plan the Administration is developing.1 In addition, Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross has noted broadband’s importance to the nation’s future and its economic policy, including at his confirmation hearing in January 2017.2 To aid the Administration’s plan to incorporate broadband in the upcoming infrastructure initiative and ensure the digital preparedness of the nation’s current and future workforce, NTIA data will reveal consumers’ changing demand for broadband, as well as their online activities. The information may inform decisions about the scope and scale of the needed infrastructure, particularly in remote and sparsely populated areas where broadband deployment may be difficult and costly. It may also shed light on opportunities to increase digital literacy and use among Americans who currently use the Internet sparingly, if at all. NTIA works with Congress, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and other stakeholders to develop and advance economic and regulatory policies that foster broadband deployment and adoption. Current, systematic, and comprehensive data on broadband use and non-use by U.S. households are critical to allow policymakers not only to gauge progress made to date, but also to identify problem areas with a specificity that 1 See Remarks by President Trump on Agricultural Innovation in Cedar Rapids, IA (June 21, 2017) at https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-pressoffice/2017/06/22/remarks-president-trumpagricultural-innovation-cedar-rapids-ia.
