FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

additional information, send an e-mail 

to Judith-B.Herman@fcc.gov or contact 

her at 202–418–0214. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0391. 

Title: Program to Monitor the Impacts 

of the Universal Service Support 

Mechanism, CC Docket Nos. 98–202 and 

96–45. 

Form No.: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit. 

Number of Respondents: 288 

respondents; 1,152 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 40 

minutes. 

Frequency of Response: Quarterly and 

annual reporting requirements and third 

party disclosure requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this information collection 

is contained in 47 U.S.C. sections 151, 

152, 154, 201–205, 215, 218, 220, 229, 

254, and 410. 

Total Annual Burden: 770 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: N/A. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

The respondents may request 

confidentiality protection for the special 

access performance information. The 

respondents are not required to file their 

customers’ monthly usage information 

with the Federal Communications 

Commission (FCC). 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this expiring information 

collection to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) after this 60 day 

comment period in order to obtain the 

full three year clearance from them. The 

Commission is requesting an extension 

(no change in the reporting 

requirements and/or third party 

disclosure requirements) of this 

information collection. The Commission 

is reporting a 243 hour increase in the 

total annual burden. The increase is due 

to a re-calculation of the estimated 

number of respondents/responses. 

The monitoring program is necessary 

for the Commission, the Joint Board, 

Congress and the general public to 

assess the impact of the universal 

service support mechanisms. The 

program requires periodic reporting by 

telephone companies and the universal 

service administrator. Failure to 

implement the program would make it 

impossible to determine the impact of 

these mechanisms and to assure that the 

implementation of section 254 fulfills 

the intent of Congress and furthers the 

public interest. This information 

collection should be continued because 

the Commission had adopted new 

mechanisms to implement section 254 

of the Act and because the network 

usage and growth data have proven to 

be a valuable source of information 

about the advancement of universal 

service.

any penalty for failing to comply with

soon as possible. 

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to 

the Federal Communications 

Commission. To submit your PRA 

comments by e-mail send them to: 

PRA@fcc.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

additional information, contact Judith B. 

Herman at 202–418–0214 or via the 

Internet at Judith-B.Herman@fcc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0004. 

Title: Sections 1.1307 and 1.1311, 

Guidelines for Evaluating the 

Environmental Effects of 

Radiofrequency, Second Memorandum 

Opinion and Order, ET Docket No. 93– 

62. 

Form No.: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Individuals or 

households, business or other for-profit, 

not-for-profit institutions, and state, 

local or tribal government. 

Number of Respondents: 190,905

hours (average). 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement and third party

Total Annual Cost: $10,355,260. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

There is a minimal exemption from the

U.S.C. 552(b)(4), and 47 CFR 0.459 of 

the Commission’s rules, that is granted 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 9 / Thursday, January 13, 2011 / Notices 2381 

for trade secrets, which may be 

submitted to the Commission as part of 

the documentation of test results. No 

other assurances of confidentiality are 

provided to respondents. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this expiring information 

collection to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) after this 60-day 

comment period in order to obtain the 

full three-year clearance from them. The 

Commission is requesting OMB 

approval for an extension (no change in 

the reporting and/or third party 

disclosure requirements). The 

Commission is reporting a 94,469 total 

annual burden reduction and an 

$18,336,443 annual cost reduction. This 

is due to fewer responses than the last 

time this collection was submitted to 

OMB for review and approval. 

This information collection is a result 

of responsibility placed on the FCC by 

the National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) of 1969. NEPA requires that 

each federal agency evaluate the impact 

of ‘‘major actions significantly affecting 

the quality of the human environment.’’ 

It is the FCC’s opinion that this is the 

most efficient and reasonable method of 

complying with NEPA with regard to 

the environmental issue of 

radiofrequency radiation from FCCregulated transmitters. 

The Commission requires applicants 

to submit limited information during 

the licensing and authorization process. 

In many services, the Commission 

simply requires licensees to provide 

reliable service to specific geographic 

areas, but does not require licensees to 

file site-specific information. It does not 

appear that the FCC’s present licensing 

methods can provide public notification 

of site-specific information without 

imposing new and significant additional 

burden to the Commission’s applicants. 

However, we note that applicants with 

the greatest potential to exceed the 

Commission’s exposure limits are 

required to perform an environmental 

evaluation as part of the licensing and 

authorization process. 

The Commission advises concerned 

members of the public, seeking sitespecific information, to contact the FCC 

for the name and telephone number of 

the service providers in the concerned 

party’s area. The Commission 

encourages all service providers to 

provide site-specific, technical 

information and environmental 

evaluation documentation upon public 

request. In addition, we note alternative 

sources of information may be state and 

local governments, which may collect 

some site-specific information as part of 

the zoning process.
