Total Annual Burden: 46,667 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: No cost. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this expiring collection after 

this 60-day comment period to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) to obtain the full three-year 

clearance. 

This study’s collection of information 

on actual speeds and performance of 

fixed and mobile broadband 

connections delivered to consumers by 

ISPs has been reported to be of great 

value to academic researchers, 

manufacturers and technology 

providers, broadband providers, public 

interest groups and other diverse 

stakeholders. Validation of fixed 

broadband subscribed speeds as 

opposed to actual speeds by 

participating ISPs remains unique to 

this program and provides a context for 

measured speeds. Mobile broadband 

performance information is measured 

using the FCC Speed Test app for 

Android and iOS devices to test the 

upload and download speeds, latency 

and packet loss, as well as the wireless 

performance characteristics of the 

broadband connection and the kind of 

handsets and versions of operating 

systems tested. Information the FCC 

Speed Test App (‘‘Application’’) collects 

is limited to information used to 

measure volunteers’ mobile broadband 

service and no personally identifiable 

information, such as subscribers’ name, 

phone number or unique identifiers 

associated with a device is collected. 

Software-based tools and online tools 

exist that can test consumer’s broadband 

connections, including a set of 

consumer tools launched by the FCC in 

conjunction with the National 

Broadband Plan. However, these tools 

track speeds experienced by consumers, 

rather than speeds delivered directly to 

a consumer by an ISP. The distinction 

is important for supporting Agency 

broadband policy analysis, as ISPs 

advertise speeds and performance 

delivered rather than speeds 

experienced, which suffers from 

degradation outside of an ISP’s control. 

No other dedicated panel of direct fixed 

and mobile broadband performance 

measurement using publicly 

documented methodologies using free 

and add-free technologies exists today 

in the country. The program will 

continue to support existing softwarebased tools and online tools but the 

focus of the program will remain the 

direct measurement of broadband 

performance delivered to the consumer. 

The collection effort also has specific 

elements focused on further network 

performance statistics, time of day 

parameters, and other elements affecting 

consumers’ broadband experience that 

are not tracked elsewhere. The 

information to be confirmed by ISP 

Partners about their subscribers or 

technical and market data regarding the 

broadband services they provide is 

unavailable from other sources.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As part of 

its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork burdens, as required by the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), the FCC invited 

the general public and other Federal 

Agencies to take this opportunity to 

comment on the following information 

collection. 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 shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

Commission’s burden estimates; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information collected; and 

(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. 

Pursuant to the Small Business 

Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, Public 

Law 107–198, see 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(4), 

the FCC seeks specific comment on how 

it might ‘‘further reduce the information 

collection burden for small business 

concerns with fewer than 25 

employees.’’

69928 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 194 / Tuesday, October 10, 2023 / Notices 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Individuals or 

households; Business or other for-profit; 

Not-for-profit institutions; Federal 

Government; and State, Local, or Tribal 

governments. 

Number of Respondent and 

Responses: 11,500 respondents; 34,500 

responses. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain benefits. Statutory authority for 

this collection of information is 

contained in sections 4(i) and (j), 303(r), 

and 409 of the Communications Act of 

1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 154(i) and 

(j), 303(r), and 409. 

Estimated Time per Response: 0.75 

hours (45 minutes). 

Total Annual Burden: 25,875 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: No cost. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission’s 

rules, under 47 CFR 1.1206, require that 

a public record be made of ex parte 

presentations (i.e., written presentations 

not served on all parties to the 

proceeding or oral presentations as to 

which all parties have not been given 

notice and an opportunity to be present) 

to decision-making personnel in 

‘‘permit-but-disclose’’ proceedings, such 

as notice-and-comment rulemakings and 

declaratory ruling proceedings. 

On February 2, 2011, the FCC released 

a Report and Order and Further Notice 

of Proposed Rulemaking, GC Docket 

Number 10–43, FCC 11–11, which 

amended and reformed the 

Commission’s rules on ex parte 

presentations (47 CFR 1.1206(b)(2)) 

made in the course of Commission 

rulemakings and other permit-butdisclose proceedings. The modifications 

to the existing rules adopted in this 

Report and Order require that parties 

file more descriptive summaries of their 

ex parte contacts, by ensuring that other 

parties and the public have an adequate 

opportunity to review and respond to 

information submitted ex parte, and by 

improving the FCC’s oversight and 

enforcement of the ex parte rules. The 

modified ex parte rules which contain 

information collection requirements 

which OMB approved on December 6, 

2011, are as follows: (1) Ex parte notices 

will be required for all oral ex parte 

presentations in permit-but-disclose 

proceedings, not just for those 

presentations that involve new 

information or arguments not already in 

the record; (2) If an oral ex parte 

presentation is limited to material 

already in the written record, the notice 

must contain either a succinct summary 

of the matters discussed or a citation to 

the page or paragraph number in the 

party’s written submission(s) where the 

matters discussed can be found; (3) 

Notices for all ex parte presentations 

must include the name of the person(s) 

who made the ex parte presentation as 

well as a list of all persons attending or 

otherwise participating in the meeting at 

which the presentation was made; (4) 

Notices of ex parte presentations made 

outside the Sunshine period must be 

filed within two business days of the 

presentation; (5) The Sunshine period 

will begin on the day (including 

business days, weekends, and holidays) 

after issuance of the Sunshine notice, 

rather than when the Sunshine Agenda 

is issued (as the current rules provide); 

(6) If an ex parte presentation is made 

on the day the Sunshine notice is 

released, an ex parte notice must be 

submitted by the next business day, and 

any reply would be due by the following 

business day. If a permissible ex parte 

presentation is made during the 

Sunshine period (under an exception to 

the Sunshine period prohibition), the ex 

parte notice is due by the end of the 

same day on which the presentation was 

made, and any reply would need to be 

filed by the next business day. Any 

reply must be in writing and limited to 

the issues raised in the ex parte notice 

to which the reply is directed; (7) 

Commissioners and agency staff may 

continue to request ex parte 

presentations during the Sunshine 

period, but these presentations should 

be limited to the specific information 

required by the Commission; (8) Ex 

parte notices must be submitted 

electronically in machine-readable 

format. PDF images created by scanning 

a paper document may not be 

submitted, except in cases in which a 

word-processing version of the 

document is not available. Confidential 

information may continue to be 

submitted by paper filing, but a redacted 

version must be filed electronically at 

the same time the paper filing is 

submitted. An exception to the 

electronic filing requirement will be 

made in cases in which the filing party 

claims hardship. The basis for the 

hardship claim must be substantiated in 

the ex parte filing; (9) To facilitate 

stricter enforcement of the ex parte 

rules, the Enforcement Bureau is 

authorized to levy forfeitures for ex 

parte rule violations; (10) Copies of 

electronically filed ex parte notices 

must also be sent electronically to all 

staff and Commissioners present at the 

ex parte meeting so as to enable them 

to review the notices for accuracy and 

completeness. Filers may be asked to 

submit corrections or further 

information as necessary for compliance 

with the rules; and (11) Parties making 

permissible ex parte presentations in 

restricted proceedings must conform 

and clarify rule changes when filing an 

ex parte notice with the Commission. 

The information is used by parties to 

permit-but-disclose proceedings, 

including interested members of the 

public, to respond to the arguments 

made and data offered in the 

presentations. The responses may then 

be used by the Commission in its 

decision-making. 

The availability of the ex parte 

materials ensures that the Commission’s 

decisional processes are fair, impartial, 

and comport with the concept of due 

process in that all interested parties can 

know of and respond to the arguments 

made to the decision-making officials.

307, 309(a), 316, 332, 403, 615a–1, and 

615c. 

Total Annual Cost: No Cost. 

Needs and Uses: This is a revision of 

a currently approved information 

collection necessary to ensure that all 

Americans have access to reliable and 

resilient 911 communications, 

particularly in times of emergency, by 

requiring certain 911 service providers 

to certify implementation of key best 

practices or reasonable alternative 

measures. The information will be 

collected in the form of an 

electronically-filed, annual certification 

from each covered 911 service provider, 

as described in the Commission’s 2013 

Report and Order, in which the provider 

will indicate whether it has 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 194 / Tuesday, October 10, 2023 / Notices 69929 

implemented certain industry-backed 

best practices. Providers that are able to 

respond in the affirmative to all 

elements of the certification will be 

deemed to satisfy the ‘‘reasonable 

measures’’ requirement in Section 

9.19(b) of the Commission’s rules. If a 

provider does not certify in the 

affirmative with respect to one or more 

elements of the certification, it must 

provide a brief explanation of what 

alternative measures it has taken, in 

light of the provider’s particular facts 

and circumstances, to ensure reliable 

911 service with respect to that 

element(s). Similarly, a service provider 

may also respond by demonstrating that 

a particular certification element is not 

applicable to its networks and must 

include a brief explanation of why the 

element(s) does not apply. Providers are 

also required to notify the Commission 

in writing within 60 days of completely 

ceasing operations as a covered 911 

service provider. 

The information will be collected by 

the Public Safety and Homeland 

Security Bureau, FCC, for review and 

analysis, to verify that covered 911 

service providers are taking reasonable 

measures to maintain reliable 911 

service. In certain cases, based on the 

information included in the 

certifications and subsequent 

coordination with the provider, the 

Commission may require remedial 

action to correct vulnerabilities in a 

service provider’s 911 network if it 

determines that (a) the service provider 

has not, in fact, adhered to the best 

practices incorporated in the FCC’s 

rules, or (b) in the case of providers 

employing alternative measures, that 

those measures were not reasonably 

sufficient to mitigate the associated risks 

of failure in these key areas. The 

Commission delegated authority to the 

Bureau to review certification 

information and follow up with service 

providers as appropriate to address 

deficiencies revealed by the certification 

process. 

The purpose of the collection of this 

information is to verify that covered 911 

service providers are taking reasonable 

measures such that their networks 

comply with accepted best practices, 

and that, in the event they are not able 

to certify adherence to specific best 

practices, that they are taking reasonable 

alternative measures. The Commission 

adopted these rules in light of 

widespread 911 outages during the June 

2012 derecho storm in the Midwest and 

Mid-Atlantic states, which revealed that 

multiple service providers did not take 

adequate precautions to maintain 

reliable service. 

OMB Control Number: 3060–1279. 

Title: Connect America Fund— 

Eligible Locations Adjustment Process 

(ELAP). 

Form Number: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities, Not-for-profit 

institutions, Individuals or Households, 

and State, Local or Tribal governments. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 296 respondents; 962 

responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 2–40 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: One-time 

reporting requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Voluntary. 

Statutory authority for this information 

collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. 

151–154, 254. 

Total Annual Burden: 10,804 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: No Cost. 

Needs and Uses: This information 

collection addresses the requirements of 

a process (the eligible locations 

adjustment process (ELAP)) that the 

Commission used to facilitate the postauction review of certain CAF Phase II 

Auction support recipients’ defined 

deployment obligations (and associated 

support), on a state-by-state basis, in 

situations where the number of eligible 

locations within a state is less than the 

number of funded locations. Connect 

America Fund, WC Docket No. 10–90, 

Order, DA 23–117 (WCB 2023); Connect 

America Fund, WC Docket Nos. 10–90 

et al., Order on Reconsideration, 33 FCC 

Rcd 1380, 1390–92, paras. 23–28 (2018) 

(Phase II Auction Reconsideration 

Order); Connect America Fund, WC 

Docket No. 10–90, Order, 34 FCC Rcd 

10395 (WCB 2019) (adopting rules and 

requirements necessary to implement 

this process, consistent with the 

parameters set forth in the Phase II 

Auction Reconsideration Order and 

prior Commission guidance for 

adjusting defined deployment 

obligations) (ELAP Order). CAF Phase II 

Auction support recipients’ 

participation in this process was 

voluntary. 

ELAP required the one-time collection 

of location information for eligible 

locations within the state where the 

participant sought an adjustment to its 

defined deployment obligation. Eligible 

locations included both locations that 

qualify for support (qualifying 

locations), which the ELAP participant 

was required to report, and any 

additional location(s) (prospective 

location(s)) within eligible areas of the 

state that the participant wanted to 

reserve as part of its defined 

deployment obligation. The total 

number of eligible locations reported by 

the participant could not exceed the 

participant’s defined deployment 

obligation for the state. 

In addition, ELAP participants had to 

submit a description of the method(s) 

used to identify all qualifying locations, 

as well as some supporting evidence, 

such as copies of public records, aerial 

photography, location information for 

non-eligible locations, or similar 

evidence. Participants had to certify the 

truth and accuracy of this information. 

The Bureau announced which 

participants had met their prima facie 

evidentiary standard, and the Universal 

Service Administrative Company 

(USAC) used certain location 

information (address, geocoordinates, 

number of units) filed by these 

participants to populate a publicly 

available map (public ELAP Map), 

which was removed from public 

inspection at the conclusion of the 

ELAP process. WCB Announces CAF

the Opening of the Stakeholder 

Registration Period; Extension of 

Deadline for Stakeholders to File 

Challenges; Identification of Potentially 

Affected Tribal Authorities, WC Docket 

No. 10–90, Public Notice, 36 FCC Rcd 

16493, 16494 (WCB 2021). 

Other interested parties deemed 

eligible to participate in ELAP 

(stakeholders) had the opportunity to 

challenge the accuracy and 

completeness of any relevant 

participant’s eligible location 

information, although none did. To file 

such a challenge, stakeholders were 

required to submit alternative location 

information (of the same kind and in the 

same format as required of the 

participant), a brief description of the 

methods used to identify the location as 

an eligible location, and supporting 

evidence. Parties eligible to participate 

as stakeholders included government 

entities (state, local, and Tribal) as well 

as individuals or non-governmental 

entities with a legitimate and verifiable 

interest in ensuring broadband service 

in the relevant areas but excluded any 

entity or individual with a controlling 

interest in a competitor of the 

participant(s) being challenged. 

The Bureau committed to using a 

third-party commercial verifier to 

confirm the eligibility of any 

stakeholder who challenged a 

participant’s location information. The 

Bureau required certification that the 

stakeholder (exclusive of governmental 

entities) did not hold a controlling 

interest in a direct competitor of the 

relevant participant. The Bureau also 

separately gathered certain limited 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
69930 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 194 / Tuesday, October 10, 2023 / Notices 

information about these stakeholders 

(e.g., name and contact information). 

All ELAP information was filed and is 

maintained in a new module within the 

High-Cost Universal Service Broadband 

Portal (HUBB) (OMB Control No. 3060– 

1228). The module had integrated 

instructions and guidance for 

submitting information. This module 

incorporated several features similar to 

those associated with the reporting of 

deployed location information in the 

HUBB. For example, the module had an 

automated validation system that 

generated error messages when the 

location information submitted by ELAP 

parties failed to meet reporting 

parameters (such as redundancies, 

required file type) as specified in the 

ELAP Order. The module also generated 

notices where correction, 

supplementation, or redaction of 

information is necessary. Participants 

and stakeholders could pre-file 

information and correct, update, add, or 

delete information prior to their 

respective filing deadline. 

Unlike deployed location information 

collected pursuant to OMB Control No. 

3060–1228, all ELAP information, 

including the description of methods 

and supporting documentation as well 

as location data, except the location data 

published in the public ELAP Map, has 

been and will continue to be treated as 

presumptively confidential.
