Herman at 202–418–0214 or via the 

Internet at Judith-b.herman@fcc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–1094. 

Title: Sections 4.1 and 4.2, and Part 4 

of the Commission’s Rules Concerning 

Disruptions to Communications 

(NORS). 

Form No.: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit, not-for-profit institutions, and 

state, local or tribal government. 

Number of Respondents: 71 

respondents; 139 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 2 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirements. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this information collection 

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

154, 218, 219, 256, 301, 302, 303, 403 

and 621. 

Total Annual Burden: 19,738 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: N/A. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

In accordance with 47CFR 4.2 of the 

Commission’s rules, reports under Part 

4 are presumed confidential. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this expiring information 

collection (IC) to the OMB during this 

comment period. The Commission is 

seeking OMB approval for an extension 

(there are no changes to the reporting 

requirement). The Commission is 

reporting a significant increase of 10,100 

total annual burden hours. This is due 

to a recalculation of our burden 

estimates and fewer respondents 

reporting information. The estimated 

number of respondents fluctuates 

because of the type of event to be 

reported and the location where it 

occurred. 

In recognition of the critical need for 

rapid, full, and accurate information on 

service disruptions that could affect 

homeland security, public health and 

safety, as well as the economic wellbeing of our Nation, and in view of the 

increasing importance of non-wireline 

communications in the Nation’s 

communications networks, and critical 

infrastructure, the Commission adopted 

rules requiring mandatory service 

disruptions reporting from all 

communications providers (cable, 

satellite, wireline and wireless) that 

provide voice and/or paging 

communications. As envisioned, the 

information collected pursuant to these 

rules has helped improve network 

reliability. 

OMB Control Number: 3060–1139. 

Title: Residential Fixed Broadband 

Services Testing and Measurement. 

Form No.: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Individuals or 

households and business or other forprofit. 

Number of Respondents: 11,016 

respondents; 11,016 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: The 

estimated time per response is 1 hour 

for respondents based on a 10 minute 

initial sign-up for the panel; 30 minutes 

to connect and install the hardware 

appliance; and two 10-minute contacts 

to be conducted by the vendor over the 

course of the study period. The 16 ISP 

partners participating in the study is 

estimated at 200 hours per respondent 

per partner for all participation 

activities. 

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: 14,200 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: N/A. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: This 

information collection affects 

individuals or households. However, 

the collection of personally identifiable 

information (PII) is not being collected, 

made available or accessible by the 

Commission but instead by third parties 

including SamKnows, a third party 

contractor and ISP Partners. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

No personally identifiable information 

(PII) will be transmitted to the 

Commission from the contractor as a 

matter of vendor policy. SamKnows 

maintains a series of administrative, 

technical, and physical safeguards to 

protect against the transmission of 

personally identifying information. At 

point of registration, individuals will be 

given full disclosure in a ‘‘privacy 

statement’’ highlighting what 

information will be collected. ISP 

Partners will receive personally 

identifying information about 

volunteers to confirm the validity of the 

information against their subscription 

records, but will be bound by a nondisclosure agreement that will maintain 

various administrative, technical and 

physical safeguards to protect the 

information and limit its use. ISP 

Partners will provide 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 that all participate 

and act in good faith. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this expiring information 

collection (IC) to the OMB during this 

comment period. The Commission is 

requesting OMB approval for an 

extension (no change in the reporting 

and/or third party disclosure 

requirements). There is no change in the 

Commission’s burden estimates that 

were submitted and approved by OMB 

on October 4, 2010. 

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. 

The 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.

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 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 31, 2011. 

If you anticipate that you will be 

submitting PRA comments, but find it

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB 

Control Number: 3060–0698. 

Title: Sections 25.203(i) and 

73.1030(a)(2), Radio Astronomy 

Coordination Zone in Puerto Rico. 

Form No.: N/A. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit, not-for-profit institutions, and 

State, local or tribal government. 

Number of Respondents: 200 

respondents; 1,000 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 5–40 

minutes (.0833 hours to .667 hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement and third party 

disclosure requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

There is no need for confidentiality. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this expiring information 

collection (IC) to the OMB during this 

comment period. The Commission is 

seeking OMB approval for a revision. 

The Commission is reporting a 114 hour 

program change decrease to the total 

burden hour estimate. The revision is 

because 47 CFR section 23.20 has been 

removed from this information 

collection since the last time OMB 

approved this information collection. 

The Commission adopted and 

released a Report and Order, IB Docket 

No. 05–216, FCC 10–7, which 

eliminated Part 23 rules because there 

were no International Fixed Public 

Radiocommunications Services (IFPRS) 

licenses in operation. 

The information collected is used to 

facilitate coordination between the 

Observatory and Commission-licensed 

services in the Commonwealth of Puerto 

Rico. Applicants for new or modified 

radio communication facilities within 

the Coordination Zone are required to 

submit technical information 

concerning the applicant’s proposed 

services to enable the Observatory to 

determine the potential for interference 

with its operations. The Observatory 

will perform interference evaluations at 

no cost to the applicants. If potential 

interference problems are identified, 

applicants are required to make 

reasonable attempts to resolve or 

mitigate such problems in order to 

protect the Observatory.
