ACTION: Notice, request for public comments. AGENCY: The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) is seeking comments and recommendations regarding the project entitled, ‘‘Local Estimates of internet Adoption’’ (Project LEIA). Project LEIA is a new joint project of NTIA and the United States Census Bureau (Census Bureau) to develop model-based estimates of internet adoption for smaller populations than would typically be possible using survey data alone. We request input about potential uses of these estimates. We are also seeking suggestions for potential future improvements to the initial experimental model, as well as what additional sub-state geographies, small populations, indicators, or methods should be considered as future directions for Project LEIA. DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before October 15, 2024. ADDRESSES: All electronic public comments on this action, identified by Regulations.gov docket number NTIA– 2024–0003, may be submitted through the Federal e-Rulemaking Portal at www.regulations.gov.

Please direct media inquiries to NTIA’s Office of Public Affairs, at (202) 482– 7002 or press@ntia.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For thirty years, NTIA and the Census Bureau have partnered to produce valuable data on computer and internet use in the United States. These data enable policymakers, researchers, and advocates to better understand challenges to achieving digital equity and other internet policy issues. The most enduring example of this is the NTIA internet Use Survey, which is administered as a supplement to the Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey. The most recent edition of this survey was fielded in November 2023.1 Since 1994, the survey has served as the premier Federal data source for in-depth information on who uses the internet, what technologies they use, and what challenges still prevent far too many Americans from fully realizing the benefits of modern information technologies. The relationship between NTIA and the Census Bureau has also expanded over time, facilitating the creation of additional data products that further improve the state of knowledge on internet use. In 2008, the Broadband Data Improvement Act directed the Census Bureau to add questions to the American Community Survey (ACS) about household computer use and internet subscribership.2 NTIA and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) staff worked with our Census Bureau counterparts on implementation of these questions. More recently, NTIA collaborated with Census Bureau teams to create estimates of the Covered Populations, as defined by the Digital Equity Act.3 We also collaborated to launch the ACCESS BROADBAND Dashboard, which visualizes internet adoption across the United States.4 While these data products have enabled a great deal of important research and policy analysis, some significant gaps remain in our 1 See, e.g., NTIA, ‘‘New NTIA Data Show 13 Million More internet Users in the U.S. in 2023 than 2021,’’ June 6, 2024, available at https:// www.ntia.gov/blog/2024/new-ntia-data-show-13million-more-internet-users-us-2023-2021. 2 47 U.S.C. 1303(d). 3 U.S. Census Bureau, Digital Equity Act of 2021, available at https://www.census.gov/programssurveys/community-resilience-estimates/ partnerships/ntia/digital-equity.html. 4 U.S. Census Bureau, ACCESS BROADBAND Act of 2021, available at https://www.census.gov/ programs-surveys/community-resilience-estimates/ partnerships/ntia/broadband-act.html.
