FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

Information Collection Being 

Submitted for Review and Approval to 

the Office of Management and Budget 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort 

to reduce paperwork burden and as 

required b y the Paperwork Reduction 

Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3502– 

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: (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; (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; and (e) ways to 

further reduce the information 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 8 / Thursday, January 12, 2012 / Notices 1933 

collection burden on 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 February 13, 

2012. 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 Nicholas A. Fraser, Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB), via fax 

at (202) 395–5167 or via Internet at 

Nicholas_A._Fraser@omb.eop.gov and 

to Judith B. Herman, Federal 

Communications Commission, via the 

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

submit your PRA comments by email 

send them to: PRA@fcc.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Judith B. Herman, Office of Managing 

Director, FCC, at (202) 418–0214. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0207. 

Title: Part 11—Emergency Alert 

System (EAS). 

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: 3,569,028 

respondents; 3,569,028 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 

.0229776 hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement and 

recordkeeping requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Voluntary 

response for business or other for-profit 

and not-for-respondents. Mandatory 

response for state, local or tribal 

government. Statutory authority for this 

information collection is contained in 

47 U.S.C. sections 154(i) and 606 of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended. 

Total Annual Burden: 82,008 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: N/A. 

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 to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) during this 30 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, recordkeeping and/or 

third party disclosure requirements). 

There is no change in the 

Commission’s previous burden 

estimates. 

The Commission established a 

voluntary electronic method of 

complying with the reporting that EAS 

participants must complete as part of 

the national EAS test. This electronic 

sub mission system will impose a lesser 

burden on EAS test participants because 

they can input electronically (via a webbased interface) the same information 

into a confidential database that the 

Commission would use to monitor and 

assess the test. Test participants would 

submit the identifying data prior to the 

test date. On the day of the test, EAS test 

participants would be able to input 

immediate test results. They would 

input the remaining data called for by 

our reporting rules within the 45 day 

period. Structuring an electronic 

reporting system in this fashion will 

allow the participants to populate the 

database with known information prior 

to the test, and thus be able to provide 

the Commission with actual test data, 

both close to real time and within a 

reasonable period in a minimally 

burdensome fashion. 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0763. 

Title: ARMIS Customer Satisfaction 

Report. 

Report No.: FCC Report 43–06. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit. 

Number of Respondents: 7 

respondents; 7 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 720 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: Annual 

reporting requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. 

Statutory authority for this information 

collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. 

sections 161, 219(b) and 220 of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended. 

Total Annual Burden: 5,040 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: N/A. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

Ordinarily questions of a sensitive 

nature are not asked in the ARMIS 

Customer Satisfaction Report. The areas 

in which detailed information is 

required are fully subject to regulation 

and the issue of data being regarded as 

sensitive will arise in special 

circumstances only. In such 

circumstances, the respondent is 

instructed on the appropriate 

procedures to follow to safeguard 

sensitive data. Any respondent who 

submits information to the Commission 

that the respondent believes is 

confidential 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 expiring information 

collection to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) during this 30 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, recordkeeping and/or 

third party disclosure requirements). 

There is no change in the 

Commission’s previous burden 

estimates. 

The information contained in FCC 

Report 43–06 has helped the 

Commission fulfill its regulatory 

responsibilities. Automated reporting of 

these data greatly enhances the 

Commission’s ability to process and 

analyze the extensive amounts of data 

provided in the reports. Automating and 

organizing data submitted to the 

Commission facilitate the timely and 

efficient analysis of revenue 

requirements, rates of return and price 

caps, and provide an improved basis for 

auditing and other oversight functions. 

Automated reporting also enhances the 

Commission’s ability to quantify the 

effects of policy proposals. 

The Commission has granted AT&T, 

Verizon, legacy Quest, and other 

similarly situated carriers conditional 

forbearance from FCC Report 43–06. See
