Good Cause for Late Notice: This
Amendment to Notice of public meeting
is being published less than 15 days
before the meeting date of March 24,
2020. There is good cause for this late
notice. Specifically, the recent
developments in the spread of COVID–
19 have led the Commission to conclude
that, in an abundance of caution, an
electronic meeting is appropriate. The
Commission has also announced this
amendment to the public meeting by

Commission’s website at https://

following information collections.
Comments are requested concerning:
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
the accuracy of the Commission’s
burden estimate; ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the

PRA that does not display a valid OMB
control number.

If you anticipate that you will be
submitting comments, but find it
difficult to do so within the period of

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: There
is no Privacy Act impact as personally
identifiable information (PII) will not be
collected.
Needs and Uses: The information
collection activity will garner
qualitative customer and stakeholder
feedback in an efficient, timely manner,
in accordance with the Administration’s
commitment to improving service
delivery. By qualitative feedback we
mean information that provides useful
insights on perceptions and opinions,
but are not statistical surveys that yield
quantitative results that can be
generalized to the population of study.
This feedback will provide insights into
customer or stakeholder perceptions,
experiences and expectations, provide
an early warning of issues with service,
or focus attention on areas where
communication, training or change in
operations might improve delivery of
products or services. These collections
will allow for ongoing, collaborative and
actionable communications between the
Agency and its customers and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback
to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
Feedback collected under this generic
clearance will provide useful
information, but it will not yield data
that can be generalized to the overall
population. This type of generic
clearance for qualitative information
will not be used for quantitative
information collections that are
designed to yield reliably actionable
results, such as monitoring trends over
time or documenting program
performance. Such data uses require
more rigorous designs that address: The
target population to which
generalizations will be made, the
sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering),
the precision requirements or power
calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate,
methods of assessing potential
nonresponse bias, the protocols for data
collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior
fielding the study. Depending on the
degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be
eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.

Estimated Time per Response: 3
hours.
Frequency of Response: One-time

Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. 1.4(b)(1),

1004.
Total Annual Burden: 6,771 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No Cost.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission will consider the
potential confidentiality of any
information submitted, particularly
where public release of such
information could raise security
concerns (e.g., granular location
information). We expect, however, that
the public interest in knowing whether
a carrier uses or owns equipment or
services from Huawei or ZTE would
significantly outweigh any interest the
carrier would have in keeping such
information confidential. Respondents
may request materials or information
submitted to the Commission or to the
Universal Service Administrative
Company be withheld from public
inspection under 47 CFR 0.459 of the
Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will submit this information collection
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) as an extension during this
comment period to obtain the full threeyear clearance from OMB. Under this
information collection, the Commission
proposes to collect information to
determine the extent to which
potentially prohibited equipment exists
in current networks and the costs
associated with removing such
equipment and replacing it with
equivalent equipment. The
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, requires the ‘‘preservation
and advancement of universal service.’’
47 U.S.C. 254(b). The information
collection requirements reported under
this collection are the result of
Commission actions to promote the
Act’s universal service goals. On
November 22, 2019, the Commission
adopted a Report and Order, Further
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, and
Order, WC Docket No. 18–89, FCC 19–
