FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Submitted for
Review and Approval to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB),
Comments Requested
June 17, 2010.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden invites the general public
and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the
following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501 - 3520. Comments are
requested concerning: (a) 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; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; (c) ways
to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on the respondents, including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e)
ways to further reduce the information collection burden for small
business concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid control number. No person shall be
subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of
information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that does not
display a currently valid OMB control number.
DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be
submitted on or before July 26, 2010. If you anticipate that you will
be submitting PRA comments, but find it difficult to do so within the
period of time allowed by this notice, you should advise the FCC
contact listed below as soon as possible.
ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Nicholas A. Fraser, Office of
Management and Budget, via fax at 202-395-5167 or via the Internet at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060-1132.
Title: National Broadband Plan Survey: Demand for Broadband.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Individuals or households.
Number of Respondents and Responses: 4,500 respondents; 4,500
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: .3 hours (20 minutes).
Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Voluntary. Statutory authority for this
information collection is contained in Public Law No. 110-385,
Broadband Data Improvement Act of 2008 and Public Law No. 111-5,
American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009.
Total Annual Burden: 1,350 hours.
Total Annual Cost: N/A.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: No personally identifiable
information will be transmitted to the Commission from the survey
contractor as a matter of vendor policy.
Needs and Uses: The Commission is now seeking the three year OMB
approval for this expiring information collection. The Commission
sought emergency OMB approval in December 2009. We received the six
month approval on December 18, 2009. Because emergency OMB approvals
are only granted for six months, the Commission is required to re-
submit this collection to obtain the full three year clearance.
The Commission now requests an extension (no change in the
reporting requirement) for this collection on an on-going basis so that
the information will be available for Commission use in formulating
policy recommendations for the adoption and use of broadband as
required by the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009 (ARRA).
Federal Communications Commission.
