collection burden on small business

OMB Control Number: 3060–0944.
Title: Cable Landing License Act—47
CFR 1.767; 1.768; Executive Order
10530.
Form Number: Submarine Cable
Landing License Application.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business and other forprofit.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 38 respondents; 94
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.50
hour to 17 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement, Quarterly
reporting requirement, Recordkeeping
requirement and third-party disclosure
requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. The statutory
authority for this collection is contained
in the Submarine Cable Landing License
Act of 1921, 47 U.S.C. 34–39, Executive
Order 10530, section 5(a), and the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, 47 U.S.C. 151, 152, 154(i)–(j),
155, 303(r), 309, 403.
Total Annual Burden: 421 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $88,505.
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 that the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) approve a three-year extension of
OMB Control No. 3060–0944. There are
no changes in the number of
respondents, responses, annual burden
hours and annual costs.
The information will be used by the
Commission staff in carrying out its
duties under the Submarine Cable
Landing License Act of 1921, 47 U.S.C.
34–39, Executive Order 10530, section
5(a), and the Communications Act of
1934, as amended. The information
collections are necessary largely to
determine whether and under what
conditions the Commission should grant
a license for proposed submarine cables
landing in the United States, including
applicants that are, or are affiliated
with, foreign carriers in the destination
market of the proposed submarine cable.
Pursuant to Executive Order No. 10530,
the Commission has been delegated the
President’s authority under the Cable
Landing License Act to grant cable
landing licenses, provided that the
Commission must obtain the approval of

the State Department and seek advice
from other government agencies as
appropriate. If the collection is not
conducted or is conducted less
frequently, applicants will not obtain
the authorizations necessary to provide
telecommunications services and
facilities, and the Commission will be
unable to carry out its mandate under
the Cable Landing License Act and
Executive Order 10530. In addition,
without the collection, the United States
would jeopardize its ability to fulfill the
U.S. obligations as negotiated under the
World Trade Organization (WTO) Basic
Telecom Agreement because certain of
these information collection
requirements are imperative to detecting
and deterring anticompetitive conduct.
They are also necessary to preserve the
Executive Branch agencies’ and the
Commission’s ability to review foreign
investments for national security, law
enforcement, foreign policy, and trade
concerns.

ACTION: Notice of a new matching
program.
AGENCY:
In accordance with the
Privacy Act of 1974, as amended

announces the establishment of a
computer matching program the Federal
Communications Commission (‘‘FCC’’
or ‘‘Commission’’ or ‘‘Agency’’) and the
Universal Service Administrative
Company (USAC) will conduct with
four non-Federal agencies. The purpose
of this matching program is to verify the
eligibility of applicants to and
subscribers of the Universal Service
Fund (USF) Lifeline program, which is
administered by USAC under the
direction of the FCC. More information
about this program is provided in the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section
below.
SUMMARY:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Lifeline program provides support for
discounted broadband and voice
services to low-income consumers.
Lifeline is administered by the
Universal Service Administrative
Company (USAC) under FCC direction.
Consumers qualify for Lifeline through
proof of income or participation in a
qualifying program, such as Medicaid,
the Supplemental Nutritional
Assistance Program (SNAP), Federal
Public Housing Assistance,
Supplemental Security Income (SSI), or
Veterans and Survivors Pension Benefit.
In a Report and Order adopted on March
31, 2016, the Commission ordered
USAC to create a National Lifeline
Eligibility Verifier (‘‘National Verifier’’),
including the National Lifeline
Eligibility Database (LED), that would
match data about Lifeline applicants
and subscribers with other data sources
to verify the eligibility of an applicant
or subscriber. The Commission found
that the National Verifier would reduce
compliance costs for Lifeline service
providers, improve service for Lifeline
subscribers, and reduce waste, fraud,
and abuse in the program.

of the Lifeline program for the benefit of
a variety of Lifeline participants,
including Lifeline providers,
subscribers, states, community-based
organizations, USAC, and the
Commission.’’ 31 FCC Rcd 3962, 4006,
para. 126. To help determine whether
Lifeline applicants and subscribers are
eligible for Lifeline benefits, the Order
contemplates that a USAC-operated
Lifeline Eligibility Database (LED) will
communicate with information systems
and databases operated by other Federal
and State agencies. Id. at 4011–2, paras.
135–7.
Categories of Individuals
The categories of individuals whose
information is involved in this matching
program include, but are not limited to,
those individuals (residing in a single
household) who have applied for
Lifeline benefits; are currently receiving
Lifeline benefits; are individuals who
enable another individual in their
household to qualify for Lifeline
benefits; are minors whose status
qualifies a parent or guardian for
Lifeline benefits; are individuals who
have received Lifeline benefits; or are
individuals acting on behalf of an
eligible telecommunications carrier
(ETC) who have enrolled individuals in
the Lifeline program.
Categories of Records
The categories of records involved in
the matching program include, but are
not limited to, a Lifeline applicant or
subscriber’s full name; physical and
mailing addresses; partial Social
Security number or Tribal ID number;
date of birth; qualifying person’s full
name (if qualifying person is different
from subscriber); qualifying person’s
physical and mailing addresses;
qualifying person’s partial Social
Security number or Tribal ID number,
and qualifying person’s date of birth.
The National Verifier will transfer these
data elements to the source agencies,
which will respond either ‘‘yes’’ or ‘‘no’’
that the individual is enrolled in a
Lifeline-qualifying assistance program.
System(s) of Records
The USAC records shared as part of
this matching program reside in the
Lifeline system of records, FCC/WCB–1,
Lifeline Program, a notice of which the
FCC published at 82 FR 38686 (Aug. 15,
2017). The August 15, 2017 notice is an
update to this system of records that
reflects the new uses involved in
operating this matching program and it
modified the system of records, notice
of which the FCC previously had
published at 78 FR 73535 (Dec. 6, 2013).
