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
July 1, 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.

submitted on or before August 9, 2010. If you anticipate that you will
be submitting PRA comments, but find it difficult to do so within the

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: 3060-1136.
Title: Spectrum Dashboard Customer Feedback.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Individuals or households, business or other for-
profit, not-for-profit institutions, Federal Government, and state,
local or tribal government.
Number of Respondents and Responses: 300 respondents; 300
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: .05 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Voluntary. There is no statutory authority
for this information collection.
Total Annual Burden: 15 hours.
Total Annual Cost: N/A.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes. The Commission has a Privacy
Policy that covers those who access the FCC's web pages, at: <http://www.fcc.gov/fccprivacypolicy.html>. There is also a system of records,
FCC/OMD-20, ``Inter-office and Remote Access Internet E-mail Systems,''
which was published in the Federal Register on April 5, 2006 (65 FR
17234, 17265) and a Privacy Impact Assessment at: <http://www.fcc.gov/omd/privacyact/System_of_recors/pia-email.pdf> to cover the
collection of IP addresses of those who access FCC web pages.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: No personally identifiable
information will be obtained as part of this information collection,
except the collection of IP addresses when an individual or other
entity accesses the FCC's web pages.
Needs and Uses: The Commission sought and obtained emergency OMB
approval for this information collection in March 2010. Emergency OMB
approvals are only granted for six months. This collection is due to
expire in September 2010. Therefore, the Commission is now ready to
submit this collection for the regular OMB clearance. The Commission is
requesting an extension (no change in the reporting requirement). The
Commission has reduced the total annual burden for this collection by
1,085 hours due to 21,700 fewer respondents.
As part of the Commission's Broadband Plan, the FCC has created the
Spectrum Dashboard, a database of the frequency bands from 225 MHz -
3.7 GHz available for non-federal uses, including for broadband
deployment across the nation. The Spectrum Dashboard also makes
information transparent and readily available to interested
stakeholders (e.g., service providers, manufacturers, innovators,
investors, etc.) to better enable them to gain access to spectrum and
to help them assist the Commission in our spectrum policy decisions.
The increased accessibility to spectrum and licensing information made
possible by the Spectrum Dashboard is particularly valuable at this
time as multiple stakeholders search for ways to participate in the
deployment of wireless broadband throughout the nation.
The purpose of this collection is to enable individuals and others
to voluntarily provide feedback on their experience with the Spectrum
Dashboard. This collection will provide the Commission with unique data
on how stakeholders are using the Spectrum Dashboard database and what
improvements or enhancements they would like to see in future versions
of the Spectrum Dashboard.
