SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0819. 

Title: Sections 54.400 through 54.417, 

Lifeline Assistance (Lifeline) 

Connection Assistance (Link-Up) 

Reporting Worksheet and Instructions. 

Form No.: FCC Form 497. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 251,400 respondents; 

251,400 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: .08 

hours–1.5 hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion, 

annual, monthly, and one time reporting 

requirements, recordkeeping 

requirement 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. 1, 4(i), 201– 

205, 214, 254, and 403. 

Total Annual Burden: 49,386 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: N/A. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

The Commission is not requesting the 

respondents submit confidential 

information to the Commission. If the 

Commission requests information that 

the respondents believe is confidential, 

respondents may request confidential 

treatment of such information under 47 

CFR 0.459 of the Commission’s rules. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this revised collection to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) after this comment period to 

obtain the full three year approval from 

them. The Commission is revising this 

information collection to merge OMB 

Control Number 3060–1112 into this 

information collection (OMB Control 

Number 3060–0819). The low-income 

requirements are applicable to and 

consistent with this collection. After 

OMB approval, the Commission will 

discontinue OMB Control Number 

3060–1112 and retain OMB Control 

Number 3060–0819 as the active control 

number. 

Additionally, the Lifeline Order 

(2004) also requires Eligible 

Telecommunications Carriers (ETCs) to 

submit to the Universal Service 

Administrative Company (USAC or 

Administrator) proof that they certified 

that their Lifeline subscribers are 

eligible for Lifeline, and proof that they 

verified their subscribers’ continued 

eligibility for Lifeline. Prior to 2009, 

USAC provided sample certification and 

verification letters on its website to 

assist ETCs in complying with the 

certification and verification 

requirements. The Annual Lifeline 

Certification and Verification Letter has 

been standardized since 2009, and is 

being revised in this submission to the 

OMB. Specifically, the Certification and 

Verification Letter will be updated with 

an additional check box to 

accommodate wireless ETCs serving 

non-federal default states that do not 

assert jurisdiction over wireless ETCs. 

Additionally, a column will be added so 

that carriers may distinguish between 

‘‘Non-Responding Customers’’ and 

‘‘Customers Found to Be Ineligible’’ in 

their reports. 

Finally, the Lifeline Order requires 

certain ETCs to verify annually that a 

statistically valid sample of their 

Lifeline recipients receiving support 

continue to be eligible under the federal 

eligibility criteria. The Lifeline Order’s 

requirement applies only to those ETCs 

with Lifeline customers from federal 

default states. A federal default state is 

a state or territory that either (1) has 

adopted the federal eligibility criteria 

for Lifeline/Link Up, or (2) does not 

have its own state-based Lifeline/Link 

Up program. 

All the requirements contained in this 

submission to the OMB are necessary to 

implement the congressional mandate 

for universal service. These reporting, 

recordkeeping and/or third party 

disclosure requirements are necessary to 

verify that particular carriers and other 

respondents are eligible to receive 

universal service support.

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. The statutory 

authority for this collection of 

information is contained in Sections 4(i) 

and 340 of the Communications Act of 

1934, as amended. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

This collection of information does not

Needs and Uses: 47 CFR 76.54(b) 

states significant viewing in a cable 

television or satellite community for 

signals not shown as significantly 

viewed under 47 CFR 76.54(a) or (d) 

may be demonstrated by an 

independent professional audience 

survey of over-the-air television homes 

that covers at least two weekly periods 

separated by at least thirty days but no 

more than one of which shall be a week 

between the months of April and 

September. If two surveys are taken, 

they shall include samples sufficient to 

assure that the combined surveys result 

in an average figure at least one 

standard error above the required 

viewing level. 47 CFR 76.54(c) is used 

to notify interested parties, including 

licensees or permittees of television 

broadcast stations, about audience 

surveys that are being conducted by an 

organization to demonstrate that a 

particular broadcast station is eligible 

for significantly viewed status under the 

Commission’s rules. The notifications 

provide interested parties with an 

opportunity to review survey 

methodologies and file objections. 47 

CFR 76.54(e) and (f), are used to notify 

television broadcast stations about the 

retransmission of significantly viewed 

signals by a satellite carrier into these
