SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060–0706.
Title: Sections 76.952 and 76.990,
Cable Act Reform.
Type of Review: Extension a currently
approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities; State, Local or Tribal
Government.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 70 respondents; 70
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 1–8
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 collection of
information is contained in the
Telecommunications Act of 1996,
Public Law 104–104, Sections 301 and
302, 110 Stat. 56, 114–124.
Total Annual Burden: 210 hours.
Total Annual Cost: None.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality with
this collection of information.
Needs and Uses: The information
collection requirements contained in 47
CFR 76.952 state that all cable operators
must provide to the subscribers on
monthly bills the name, mailing address
and phone number of the franchising
authority, unless the franchising
authority in writing requests that the
cable operator omits such information.
The cable operator must also provide
subscribers with the FCC community
unit identifier for the cable system in
their communities. 47 CFR 76.990(b)(1)
requires that a small cable operator may
certify in writing to its franchise
authority at any time that it meets all
criteria necessary to qualify as a small
operator. Upon request of the local
franchising authority, the operator shall

identify in writing all of its affiliates
that provide cable service, the total
subscriber base of itself and each
affiliate, and the aggregate gross
revenues of its cable and non-cable
affiliates. Within 90 days of receiving
the original certification, the local
franchising authority shall determine
whether the operator qualifies for
deregulation and shall notify the
operator in writing of its decision,
although this 90-day period shall be
tolled for so long as it takes the operator
to respond to a proper request for
information by the local franchising
authority. An operator may appeal to
the Commission a local franchise
authority’s information request if the
operator seeks to challenge the
information request as unduly or
unreasonably burdensome. If the local
franchising authority finds that the
operator does not qualify for
deregulation, its notice shall state the
grounds for that decision. The operator
may appeal the local franchising
authority’s decision to the Commission
within 30 days.

for the Public Safety Support System to
address the personally identifiable
information (PII) that will be collected,
used, and stored as part of the
information collection requirements.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality with
this collection of information.
Needs and Uses: The WARN Act gives
the Commission authority to adopt
relevant technical standards, protocols,
procedures and other technical
requirements governing Wireless
Emergency Alerts (WEA). The
Commission adopted rules to
implement the WEA system (previously
known as the Commercial Mobile
Service Alert System) pursuant to the
WARN Act to satisfy the Commission’s
mandate to promote the safety of life
and property through the use of wire
and radio communication. The WEA
system transmits emergency alerts to
WEA-capable mobile devices, providing
consumers with timely warnings and
information in emergencies. In 2018, the
Commission issued a Report & Order
requiring that Participating Commercial
Mobile Service Providers (providers)
implement enhanced geo-targeting
functionality by November 30, 2019 to
allow WEA alert originators (e.g., local
emergency management offices) to target
a WEA alert to eligible devices in a
prescribed geographic area (e.g., an area
where there is imminent threat of the
loss of life or property). See Federal
Communications Commission, Wireless
Emergency Alerts; Emergency Alert
System, 83 FR 8619, 8623 (Feb. 28,
2018) (announcing a Nov. 30, 2019
amendment to 47 CFR 10.450).
The Commission now seeks to
evaluate WEA performance, particularly
with respect to the accuracy of
providers’ geo-targeting capabilities. To
do so, the Commission will use surveys
to collect information and evaluate
performance during a WEA test. Survey
respondents affiliated with two alert
originators, partnered with the
Commission in different geographic
areas of the country, will be asked to
complete a preliminary survey. This
survey will improve the utility of a ‘‘live
test’’ survey, which respondents will
subsequently receive via a hyperlink
embedded in a WEA test alert. The
Commission has developed survey
templates, which are available at
https://www.fcc.gov/files/
preliminarysurvey0719pdf and https://
www.fcc.gov/files/livetestsurvey
0719pdf, that are representative of how
the surveys will appear on the
Commission’s Public Safety Support
Center, and seeks OMB approval of
these templates as a new information
collection. The information sought in

this collection is necessary and vital to
ensuring that WEA is effective at

public.
