Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 104 / Friday, May 29, 2020 / Notices
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.
OMB Control Number: 3060–1270.
Title: Protecting National Security
Through FCC Programs.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 2,257 respondents; 2,257
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 3
hours.
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 250001
Frequency of Response: One-time
reporting requirement.
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),
1.103(a), 151–154, 201(b), 229, 254, and
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–
121 (Protecting Against National
Security Threats to the Communications
Supply Chain Through FCC Programs).
The Report and Order prohibits future
use of Universal Service Fund (USF)
monies to purchase, maintain, improve,
modify, obtain, or otherwise support
any equipment or services produced or
provided by a company that poses a
national security threat to the integrity
of communications networks or the
PO 00000

communications supply chain. It also
initially designated two entities—
Huawei Technologies Company
(Huawei) and ZTE Corporation (ZTE),
along with their affiliates, subsidiaries,
and parents—as covered companies
posing such a national security threat.
In the Further Notice, the Commission
proposed to make the requirement to
remove covered equipment and services
from carriers’ networks contingent on
the availability of a funded
reimbursement program, in an effort to
mitigate the impact on affected entities.
This information collection is designed
to collect data from eligible
telecommunication carriers (ETCs) and
other carriers to determine the extent of
which potentially prohibited equipment
exists in current networks and the costs
associated with removing such
equipment and replacing it with
equivalent equipment. The data will aid
the Commission’s review of the record
and guide our next steps in this
proceeding.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
how we are doing and make any
necessary improvements to our hiring
process so we can continue to hire and
attract the top talent we need at the rate
we need them in this demanding
market.
By consistently asking applicants and
candidates for their feedback and
reviewing the survey results, we can
pinpoint what areas in our process need
to be modified, changed, removed, and/
or added. Surveys allow respondents to
remain anonymous and will be sent out
three times during the hiring process:
• After a candidate applies to a role.
Data at this stage will help us
understand if our job descriptions
provide a clear understanding of the
roles and responsibilities that we are
hiring for. It will also help us
understand if our website has thorough
enough information about the overall
hiring process or if there are more
resources that we can be providing.
• After a candidate interviews. Data
at this stage will help us understand if
we are properly preparing candidates
and interviewers for interviews.
• When the candidate is Selected or
Not Selected after the Interview. Data at
this stage will help us understand what
the candidate’s experience was with
their TTS recruiter overall and if there
is anything they think we can improve
upon.
A. Purpose
B. Annual Reporting Burden
Respondents: 7,400.
Responses per Respondent: 1–3.
Total annual responses: 1,110.
Hours per Response: 5 minutes per
survey.
Total Burden Hours: 15 minutes for
candidates who complete all 3 surveys.
The goal of TTS is to modernize the
way the government uses technology by
applying modern methodologies and
technologies to improve the public’s
experience with government. In order to
accomplish this, we need to be able to
attract top technical talent from across
the country. This often means
competing for talent with the private
sector, where companies can often offer
more robust compensation and benefits.
In order to remain competitive, it is
vital that we provide an exceptional
candidate experience and maintain a
strong brand reputation. Some of the
ways we strive to do this is through
providing clear job descriptions,
thorough interview preparation and
personalized candidate experience
throughout the process. In doing so, we
are better able to recruit more
candidates into doing a tour of duty in
the government. Candidate Surveys are
a way for us to continuously measure
C. Public Comments
Public comments are particularly
invited on: Whether this collection of
information is necessary, whether it will
have practical utility; whether our
estimate of the public burden of this
collection of information is accurate,
and based on valid assumptions and
methodology; ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and ways in
which we can minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those
who are to respond, through the use of
appropriate technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology.
