Management and Budget (OMB) control 

number. 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0853. 

Title: Certification by Administrative 

Authority to Billed Entity Compliance 

with the Children’s internet Protection 

Act Form, FCC Form 479; Receipt of 

Service Confirmation and Certification 

of Compliance with the Children’s 

internet Protection Act Form, FCC Form

Form Numbers: FCC Forms 479, 486 

and 500. 

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 and 

Responses: 84,010 respondents, 94,203 

responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour 

for FCC Form 479, 1 hour for FCC Form

is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151, 154(i), 

155, 201, 205, 214, 219, 220, 254, 303(r), 

403, and 1302. 

Total Annual Burden: 78,319 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: No cost. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this information collection 

to the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB), which is a revision of a 

currently approved collection, to obtain 

a full three-year clearance from OMB. 

The requirements contained herein are 

necessary to implement the 

Congressional mandate for universal 

service. It provides the Commission and 

USAC with the necessary information to 

administer the E-Rate program, 

determine the amount of support 

entities seeking funding are eligible to 

receive, to determine if entities are 

complying with the Commission’s rules, 

and to prevent waste, fraud, and abuse. 

The information will also allow the 

Commission to evaluate the extent to 

which the E-Rate program is meeting the 

statutory objectives specified in section 

254 of the 1996 Act, the Commission’s 

performance goals established in the 

2014 First and Second E-Rate Orders, 

and to evaluate the need and feasibility 

for any future revisions to program 

rules. 

FCC Form 486 was revised. On July 

29, 2024 the Commission released a 

Report and Order and Further Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking (WC Docket No. 

21–31, FCC 24–76) (Report and Order); 

finding that the off-premises use of 

wireless internet services and the Wi-Fi 

hotspot devices needed to deliver the 

services; serves an educational purpose 

and are eligible for E-Rate support. The 

Report and Order, 89 FR 67303, August 

20, 2024, adds certifications to the FCC 

Form 486. Applicants that receive 

support for Wi-Fi hotspots and service 

for off-premises use uses the FCC Form 

486 to certify that they have updated 

and publicly posted their ‘‘acceptable 

use policy (AUP)’’ consistent with the 

requirements in 47 CFR 54.516(f); the 

Wi-Fi hotspots and/or services the 

school, library, or consortium purchased 

using E-Rate support for off-premises 

use have been activated and made 

available to students, school staff, and/ 

or library patrons; public notice of their 

availability has been provided; and the 

authorized person is not requesting 

reimbursement for Wi-Fi hotspots and/ 

or services that have not been made 

available for distribution. 

The hourly burden will increase by 

10,044 hours for FCC Forms 479, 486, 

and 500. The public burden for the 

collection contained herein will 

increase to 78,319 burden hours. 

FCC Form 486 ‘‘Receipt of Service 

Confirmation and Certification of 

Compliance with the Children’s Internet 

Protection Act.’’ After the Administrator 

reviews the funding request and 

commits to fund the eligible equipment 

and/or services requested, applicants 

use the FCC Form 486 to notify USAC 

of their service start dates for their 

funding requests. Universal service 

support will not be paid on an approved 

funding commitment prior to receipt of 

the FCC Form 486. 

Billed entities also use the FCC Form 

486 to certify compliance with the 

Children’s internet Protection Act 

(CIPA), see 47 U.S.C. 254 (h)–(l), or 

qualification for a CIPA exemption 

when they seek discounts for category 

one services (i.e., internet access) and 

category two services (i.e., internal 

connections, managed internal 

broadband services, or basic 

maintenance of internal connections). 

When the billed entities are members of 

a larger consortia, they individually 

certify CIPA compliance by submitting 

the FCC Form 479 ‘‘Certification by 

Administrative Authority to Billed 

Entity of Compliance with Children’s 

internet Protection Act’’ to the 

consortium leader. The consortium 

leader can then file the FCC Form 486 

certifying CIPA compliance on behalf of 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
96250 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 233 / Wednesday, December 4, 2024 / Notices 

the consortia. CIPA requires schools and 

libraries that have computers with 

internet access to certify that they have 

in place certain internet safety policies 

and technology protection measures to 

be eligible to receive program services 

under section 254(h) of the Act. See also 

47 CFR 54.520. The FCC Form 486 is 

also a necessary prerequisite for 

invoicing and payment. 

FCC Form 500 ‘‘Funding Commitment 

Adjustment Request.’’ The FCC Form 

500 is used by E-Rate participants to 

make adjustments to previously filed 

forms, such as changing the contract 

expiration date noted on the FCC Form 

471, changing the funding year service 

start date listed on the FCC Form 486, 

cancelling or reducing the amount of a 

funding request, and extending the 

service delivery deadline for nonrecurring services. 

All of the requirements contained in 

this information collection are necessary 

to implement the Congressional 

mandate for the E-Rate program and 

reimbursement process.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background on ORR Responsibilities, 

Affecting New SORN 09–80–0323 

Within ORR, the Unaccompanied 

Children Bureau (UCB) administers 

ORR’s responsibilities for the 

placement, care, and services provided 

to unaccompanied children who are in 

Federal custody by reason of their 

immigration status. Such 

responsibilities are carried out pursuant 

to ORR’s statutory and delegated 

authorities under section 462 of the 

Homeland Security Act of 2002 (HSA), 

6 U.S.C. 279, section 235 of the William 

Wilberforce Trafficking Victims 

Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 

(TVPRA), 8 U.S.C. 1232, and regulations 

at 45 CFR parts 410 and 411. Systems 

of records maintained by ORR are 

‘‘mixed,’’ in that they contain, or could 

contain, records pertaining to both (1) 

individuals who are covered by the 

Privacy Act and (2) individuals who are 

not covered by the Privacy Act. SORN 

09–80–0323 includes a statement to this 

effect in the ‘‘Categories of Individuals’’ 

section. 

The Privacy Act applies only to 

individuals who are U.S. citizens or 

non-U.S. citizens lawfully admitted for 

permanent residence in the United 

States. As a matter of discretion, ORR 

treats information maintained in its 

mixed systems of records as being 

subject to the protections of the Privacy 

Act, regardless of whether the 

information relates to individuals 

covered by the Privacy Act. This policy 

implements a 1975 Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

recommendation to apply, as a matter of 

discretion, the administrative provisions 

of the Privacy Act to records about 

individuals who aren’t covered by the 

Privacy Act when the records are 

maintained in mixed systems of records 

(referred to as the non-U.S. persons 

policy). See OMB Privacy Act
