<![CDATA[
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 178 / Friday, September 15, 2017 / Notices
Needs and Uses: Section 222 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, 47 U.S.C. 222, establishes the
duty of telecommunications carriers to
protect the confidentiality of its
customers’ proprietary information.
This Customer Proprietary Network
Information (CPNI) includes personally
identifiable information derived from a
customer’s relationship with a provider
of telecommunications services. This
information collection implements the
statutory obligations of Section 222.
These regulations impose safeguards to
protect customers’ CPNI against
unauthorized access and disclosure. In
March 2007, the Commission adopted
new rules that focused on the efforts of
providers of telecommunications
services to prevent pretexting. These
rules require providers of
telecommunications services to adopt
additional privacy safeguards that, the
Commission believes, will limit
pretexters’ ability to obtain
unauthorized access to the type of
personal customer information from
carriers that the Commission regulates.
In addition, in furtherance of the
Telephone Records and Privacy
Protection Act of 2006, the
Commission’s rules help ensure that law
enforcement will have necessary tools to
investigate and enforce prohibitions on
illegal access to customer records.

Frequency Band, to Reallocate the 29.5
to 30.0 GHz Frequency Band and to
Establish Rules and Policies.
Form No.: None.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit.
Number of Respondents/Responses:
17 respondents; 17 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 2
hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement; third-party
disclosure requirement.
Obligation To Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. The statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. 154 and 303.
Total Annual Burden: 34 hours.
Annual Cost Burden: $4,950.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
In general, there is no need for
confidentiality with this collection of
information.
Needs and Uses: The Federal
Communications Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) is requesting a revision
of the information collection titled, ‘‘28
GHz Band’’ under OMB Control No.
3060–0768 from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB).
The purpose of the revision is to
remove the information collection
requirements that are contained under
47 CFR Sections 25.203, 25.250, 25.257
and 25.258 from OMB Control No.
3060–0768 because they were
consolidated under OMB Control No.
3060–0678. The consolidation was
approved by OMB on August 15, 2014.
The information collection
requirements which remain in this
collection require are as follows: (1)
Local Multipoint Distribution Systems
(LMDS) licensees to serve copies of their
applications on all Non-Geostationary
Mobile Satellite Service (NGSO/MSS)
applicants (Section 101.147) and (2)
NGSO/MSS feeder link earth stations
must specify a set of geographic
coordinates for location of these earth
stations, 15 days after the release of a
public notice announcing
commencement of LMDS auctions
(Section 101.147).
The information is used by the
Commission and other applicants and/
or licensees in the 28 GHz band to
facilitate technical coordination of
systems among applicants and/or
licensees in the 28 GHz band. Without
such information, the Commission
E:\FR\FM\15SEN1.SGM
15SEN1
43366
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 178 / Friday, September 15, 2017 / Notices
could not implement the Commission’s
band plan.
Affected applicants and licensees are
required to provide the requested
information to the Commission and
other third parties whenever they seek
authority to provide service in the 28
GHz band. The frequency of filing is, in
general, determined by the applicant or
licensees. If this information is
compiled less frequently or not filed in
conjunction with our rules, applicants
and licensees will not obtain the
authorization necessary to provide
telecommunications services.
Furthermore, the Commission would
not be able to carry out its mandate as
required by statute and applicants and
licensees would not be able to provide
service effectively.

Obligation to Respond: Voluntary.
Statutory authority for this information
collection is contained in the Broadband
Data Improvement Act of 2008, Public
Law 110–385, Stat 4096, 103(c)(1).
Total Annual Burden: 46,667 hours.
Total Annual Costs: No Cost.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
All participation in the Measuring
Broadband America Program is
voluntary and any participant can
decline to participate at any time. No
volunteers’ personally identifying
information (PII) such as name, phone
number, or street addresses will be
transmitted to the Commission from the
contractor as a matter of vendor policy
and agency privacy policy. SamKnows
maintains a series of administrative,
technical, and physical safeguards to
protect against the transmission of PII.
At point of registration, individuals will
be given full disclosure in a ‘‘privacy
statement’’ highlighting what
information will be collected. Fixed
Broadband ISP Partners receive PII
about volunteers to confirm the validity
of the information against their
subscription records, but will be bound
by a non-disclosure agreement that will
maintain various administrative,
technical and physical safeguards to
protect the information and limit its use.
Mobile Broadband ISP Partners have
access to five kinds of information,
including location and time of data
collection, device type and operating
system version, cellular performance
and characteristics, and download,
upload speed and other broadband
performance, also restricted by a nondisclosure agreement that will maintain
various administrative, technical and
physical safeguards to protect the
information and limit its use. ISP
Partners providing support to the testing
program will likewise be bound to the
same series of administrative, technical
and physical safeguards developed by
SamKnows. In addition all third parties
supporting the program directly will be
bound by a ‘‘Code of Conduct’’ to ensure
all participate and act in good faith and
with other legally enforceable
documents such as non-disclosure
agreements.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: This
information collection effects
individuals or households. However,
personally identifiable information (PII)
such as name, phone number, or street
addresses is not being collected by,
made available to or made accessible by
the Commission but instead by third
parties including SamKnows, a third
party contractor, and Internet Service
Provider (ISP) Partners.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will submit this expiring collection after

The information is used by the Commission and other applicants and/

Affected applicants and licensees are required to provide the
