The Commission completed a Privacy
Impact Assessment (PIA) for some of the

contained in this collection. The PIA

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
PO 00000
Frm 00032
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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 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
Reform and Modernization;
Telecommunications Carriers Eligible
for Universal Service Support; Connect
America Fund, WC Docket Nos. 11–42,
09–197, 10–90, Third Further Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking, Order on
Reconsideration, and Further Report
and Order, (Lifeline Third Reform
Order). This revision implements the
new forms for the Lifeline program for
consumer enrollment and certification,
recertification, and one-per household
verification. These forms are intended
for use as standard forms for all
consumers and ETCs participating in
the Lifeline program. This revision also
implements the transition to payment of
the Lifeline reimbursement to ETCs
based on data from USAC’s NLAD
database. In the Lifeline Third Reform
Order, the Commission directed USAC
to propose improved methods of
providing payment to Lifeline providers
that will reduce costs and burdens to
the Fund and to Lifeline providers. In
addition, the 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.
