FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Notice of Public Information Collection Being Reviewed by the 
Federal Communications Commission, Comments Requested

February 3, 2011.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, invites the general 
public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment 
on the following information collection, 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 will 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 on 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 PRA that does not display a valid Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) control number.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before April 11, 
2011. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find 
it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice, 
you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Cathy Williams, FCC, via 
[email protected] and [email protected].

    Needs and Uses: The rules adopted in the Open Internet and

Internet access service to publicly disclose accurate information 
regarding the network management practices, performance, and commercial 
terms of their broadband Internet access services sufficient for 
consumers to make informed choices regarding use of such services and 
for content, application, service, and device providers to develop, 
market, and maintain Internet offerings. The rules ensure transparency 
and continued Internet openness, while making clear that broadband 
providers can manage their networks effectively. The Commission 
anticipates that due to the extent and nature of their services small 
entities may have less of a burden and larger entities may have more of 
a burden than the average compliance burden.
