SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060–0816.
Title: Local Telephone Competition
and Broadband Reporting, Report and
Order, FCC Form 477, (WC Docket No.
19–195, WC Docket No, 11–10, FCC 19–
79).
Form Number: FCC Form 477.
Type of Review: Extension of a

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities; not-for-profit institutions;
and State, local, or Tribal governments.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 3,400 respondents; 6,800

authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. 4(i), 201, 218–
220, 251–252, 271, 303(r), 332, and 403
of the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, and in section 706 of the
Telecommunications Act of 1996, as
amended, codified in section 1302 of
the Broadband Data Improvement Act,
47 U.S.C. 1302.
Total Annual Burden: 1,965,200

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission will continue to allow

interface that some subscribership data
contained in that submission are
privileged or confidential commercial or
financial information and that
disclosure of such information would
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 259001
likely cause substantial harm to the
competitive position of the entity
making the submission. If the
Commission receives a request for, or
proposes to disclose such information,
the respondent would be required to
show, pursuant to Commission rules for
withholding from public inspection
information submitted to the
Commission, that the information in
question is entitled to confidential
treatment. We will retain our current
policies and procedures regarding the
protection of submitted FCC Form 477
data subject to confidential treatment,
including the use of only non-company
specific aggregates of subscribership
data in our published reports. Most of
the broadband deployment data
previously collected on Form 477 is
publicly available on the FCC’s website
at https://www.fcc.gov/general/
broadband-deployment-data-fcc-form477.
Needs and Uses: FCC Form 477
provides an understanding of broadband
and voice subscribership, and, through
its critical connection to the Broadband
Data Collection, the extent of broadband
availability. The understanding of
broadband subscribership and
availability provided by these data are
the foundation of the Commission’s
development of appropriate broadband
policies, and enable the Commission to
carry out its obligation under section
706 of the Telecommunications Act of
1996, as amended, to ‘‘determine
whether advanced telecommunications
capability is being deployed to all
Americans in a reasonable and timely
fashion.’’ In addition, the information
collected in Form 477 enhances the
Commission’s analysis and
understanding of the extent of voice
telephone services competition, which
in turn supports the Commission’s
efforts to open all telecommunications
markets to competition and to promote
innovation and investment by all
participants, including new entrants, as
required by the Telecommunications
Act of 1996.
The Commission staff uses the
information to advise the Commission
about the efficacy of its rules and
policies adopted to implement the
Telecommunications Act of 1996. The
data are necessary to evaluate the status
of local telecommunications
competition and broadband availability.
The Commission uses the data to
prepare reports that help inform
consumers and policy makers at the
federal and state level on the availability
and adoption of broadband services, as
well as on developments related to
competition in the voice telephone
services market. The Commission also
PO 00000
Frm 00039
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
uses the data to support its analyses in
a variety of rulemaking proceedings
under the Communications Act,
including those related to fulfilling its
universal service mandate.
The Commission releases to the
public the broadband availability and
mobile voice availability data that it
began collecting in 2014 as a result of
the Order. This information is used by
consumers, federal and state
government agencies, analysts, and
others to determine broadband service
availability by provider, technology, and
speed.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The requirement that
grant recipients establish a COVID–19
mitigation policy in their program

approval for this request under
procedures for expedited processing. A
request for review under normal
