FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

Information Collection Being Reviewed 

by the Federal Communications 

Commission 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort 

to reduce paperwork burden and as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501– 

3520), the Federal Communications 

Commission invites the general public 

and other Federal agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on the 

following information collection(s). 

Comments are requested concerning: 

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; 

the accuracy of the Commission’s 

burden estimate; ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collected; 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 ways to 

further reduce the information 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 OMB 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 valid OMB control 

number. 

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction 

Act (PRA) comments should be 

submitted on or before January 21, 2014. 

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: Submit your PRA comments 

to Benish Shah, Federal 

Communications Commission, via the 

Internet at Benish.Shah@fcc.gov. To 

submit your PRA comments by email 

send them to: PRA@fcc.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Benish Shah, Office of Managing 

Director, (202) 418–7866. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–1139. 

Title: FCC Consumer Broadband 

Services Testing and Measurement. 

Form No.: N/A. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Individuals or 

households; and business or other forprofit. 

Number of Respondents: 501,020 

respondents; 501,020 responses. 

Estimated Time Per Response: 1 to 

200 hours. 

Frequency of Response: Biennial 

reporting requirement and third party 

disclosure requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Voluntary. 

Statutory authority for this information 

collection is contained in the Broadband 

Data Improvement Act of 2008, Public 

Law 110–385, Stat 4096, 103(c)(1). 

Total Annual Burden: 46,667 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: N/A. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: This 

information collection affects 

individuals or households. However, 

personally identifiable information (PII) 

is not being collected by, made available 

to or made accessible by the 

Commission but instead by third parties 

including SamKnows, a third party 

contractor, and Internet Service 

Provider (ISP) Partners. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

No personally identifying information 

(PII) will be transmitted to the 

Commission from the contractor as a 

matter of vendor policy and agency 

privacy policy. SamKnows maintains a 

series of administrative, technical, and 

physical safeguards to protect against 

the transmission of PII. At point of 

registration, individuals will be given 

full disclosure in a ‘‘privacy statement’’ 

highlighting what information will be 

collected. ISP Partners will receive PII 

about volunteers to confirm the validity 

of the information against their 

subscription records, but will be bound 

by a non-disclosure agreement that will 

maintain various administrative, 

technical and physical safeguards to 

protect the information and limit its use. 

ISP Partners providing support to the 

testing program will likewise be bound 

to the same series of administrative, 

technical and physical safeguards 

developed by SamKnows. In addition 

all third parties supporting the program 

directly will be bound by a ‘‘Code of 

Conduct’’ to ensure all participate and 

act in good faith and with other legally 

enforceable documents such as nondisclosure agreements. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this 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 a revision (there has been 

a program change in the reporting 

requirements, the number of 

respondents increased from 11,016 to 

501,020). The Commission is requesting 

OMB approval for a revision. 

The Broadband Data Improvement 

Act of 2008, Public Law 110–385, Stat 

4096, 103(c)(1) directs the Commission 

to collect information on the type of 

technology used to provide broadband 

to consumers, the price of such services, 

actual transmission speeds, and the 

reasons for non-adoption of broadband 

service. 

This collection of information is 

necessary to complete research done for 

the Broadband Plan on key consumer 

issues including transparency and 

actual speeds and performance of 

broadband service. 

The Commission’s Office of 

Engineering and Technology (OET), 

Office of Strategic Planning and Policy 

Analysis (OSPPA) and Consumer and 

Governmental Affairs Bureau (CGB) and 

other Commission entities use the 

information collected under this study 

to assess what actual broadband speeds 

and performance consumers are 

currently receiving from providers. Our 

purpose is to measure the speed of 

broadband services provided by ISPs 

across service packages and 

geographies, rather than to assess the 

differences in broadband performance 

received by demographics. This 

assessment will help the Commission 

create standards for broadband 

measurements, assess the validity of ISP 

performance claims, and inform future 

steps to increasing transparency and 

consumer awareness of broadband 

service.
