SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB 

Control No.: 3060–1217. 

Title: Ensuring Continuity of 911 

Communications Report and Order, PS 

Docket No. 14–174, FCC 15–98. 

Form No.: N/A (Disclosure required to 

be made to subscribers). 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or for-profit. 

Number of Respondents and 

Reponses: 570 respondents; 570 

responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 12 

hours (on average) per initial 

notification, varies by respondent. 

Frequency of Response: Annual 

reporting requirement and Third party 

disclosure requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this information collection 

is contained in sections 1, 4(i), and 

251(e)(3) of the Communications Act of 

1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 151, 154(i), 

251(e)(3); section 101 of the NET 911 

Improvement Act of 2008, Public Law 

110–283, 47 U.S.C. 615a–1; and section 

106 of the Twenty-First Century 

Communications and Video 

Accessibility Act of 2010, Public Law 

111–260, 47 U.S.C. 615c. 

Total Annual Burden: 12 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: No Cost. 

Needs and Uses: Section 9.20 of the 

Commission’s rules places limited 

backup power obligations on providers 

of facilities-based fixed, residential 

voice services that are not line-powered 

to ensure that such service providers 

meet their obligation to provide access 

to 911 service during a power outage, 

and to provide clarity for the role of 

consumers and their communities 

should they elect not to purchase 

backup power. 

Specifically, we require providers to 

disclose to subscribers the following 

information: (1) Availability of backup 

power sources; (2) service limitations 

with and without backup power during 

a power outage; (3) purchase and 

replacement options; (4) expected 

backup power duration; (5) proper usage 

and storage conditions for the backup 

power source; (6) subscriber backup 

power self-testing and monitoring 

instructions; and (7) backup power 

warranty details, if any. Each element of 

this information must be given to 

subscribers both at the point of sale and 

annually thereafter, as described in the 

rule. 

The disclosure requirements are 

intended to equip subscribers with 

necessary information to purchase and 

maintain a source of backup power to 

enhance their ability to maintain access 

to reliable 911 service from their homes. 

We permit providers to convey both 

the initial and annual disclosures and 

information described above by any 

means reasonably calculated to reach 

the individual subscriber. For example, 

a provider may meet this obligation 

through a combination of disclosures 

via email, an online billing statement, or 

other digital or electronic means for 

subscribers that communicate with the 

provider through these means. For a 

subscriber that does not communicate 

with the provider through email and/or 

online billing statements—such as 

someone who ordered service on the 

phone or in a physical store and 

receives a paper bill by regular mail— 

email would not be a means reasonably 

calculated to reach that subscriber.

[OMB No. 3064–0212] 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Proposed Collection; 

Comment Request 

AGENCY: Federal Deposit Insurance 

Corporation (FDIC). 

ACTION: Notice and request for comment. 

SUMMARY: The FDIC seeks to continue 

its engagement and collaboration with 

innovators in the financial, nonfinancial, and technology sectors to, 

among other things, identify, develop 

and promote technology-driven 

innovations among community and 

other banks in a manner that ensures the 

safety and soundness of FDICsupervised and -insured institutions. An 

innovation pilot program framework can 

provide a regulatory environment in 

which the FDIC, in conjunction with 

individual proposals collected from 

innovators, including banks, will 

provide tailored regulatory and 

supervisory assistance, when 

appropriate, to facilitate the testing of 

innovative and advanced technologies, 

products, services, systems, or activities. 

As part of an innovation pilot program, 

innovators may request information 

from banks and other members of the 

public outside of their normal course of 

business. Any information provided by 

banks and other members of the public 

will be provided on a voluntary basis. 

FDIC staff may similarly request 

information on a voluntary basis from 

banks or other members of the public to 

evaluate the products or services 

developed in the pilot programs. The 

FDIC invites the general public, 

including persons who may have an 

interest in participating in innovation 

pilot programs, and other Federal 

agencies to comment on the agency’s 

collection of information that may result 

from innovators obtaining information 

from banks and other members of the 

public in connection with innovation 

pilot programs, as required by the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. At 

the end of the comment period, any 

comments and recommendations 

received will be reviewed to determine 

the extent to which the collection of 

proposals should be modified prior to 

the submission to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and approval. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before November 22, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: Interested parties are 

invited to submit written comments to 

the FDIC by any of the following 

methods: 

• Agency Website: https://

General Description of Collection: The 

FDIC seeks to engage and collaborate 

with innovators in the financial, nonfinancial, and technology sectors to, 

among other things, identify, develop 

and promote technology-driven 

innovations among community and 

other banks in a manner that ensures the 

safety and soundness of FDICsupervised and -insured institutions. An 

innovation pilot program framework 

will provide a regulatory environment 

in which the FDIC, in conjunction with 

individual proposals collected from 

innovators will provide tailored 

regulatory and supervisory assistance, 

when appropriate, to facilitate the 

testing of innovative and advanced 

technologies, products, services, 

systems, or activities. 

The FDIC anticipates that products 

developed as part of innovation pilot 

programs will improve the efficiency 

and effectiveness of bank operations, 

and eventually, examinations, while 

increasing transparency and ultimately 

reducing the cost of regulatory 

compliance for participating 

institutions. In addition, the FDIC 

anticipates that proposals provided in 

connection with the innovation pilot 

programs will involve cutting-edge 

innovations and novel approaches or 

applications involving a banking 

product, service, system, or activity that 

benefits and can lead to better outcomes 

for consumers. 

As part of an innovation pilot 

program, innovators may request 

information from banks and other 

members of the public outside of their 

normal course of business. Any 

information provided by banks and 

other members of the public will be 

provided on a voluntary basis. FDIC 

staff may similarly request information 

on a voluntary basis from banks or other 

members of the public to evaluate the 

products or services developed in the 

pilot programs. This information is 

intended to allow banks and the FDIC 

to analyze the health of the overall 

banking system, critical financial 

sectors, or national, regional or local 

economic conditions (i.e., horizontal 

analysis). Additionally, bank specific 

information may be collected in order to 

allow for better insights into current and 

escalating risks across all aspects of 

banking. In particular, innovators may 

request from banks and other members 

of the public general ledger information 

about all products and services, or a 

subset of products and services, systems 

or activities, and will not contain any 

personally identifiable information (PII) 

as defined in OMB Circular A–130 and 

includes the disclosure of any financial 

records or information which is 

identified with or identifiable as being 

derived from the financial records of a 

particular customer. 

The annual burden for this 

information collection is estimated to be 

4,000 hours. This represents an increase 

of hours from the current burden 

estimate and also a change in focus. In 

particular, when this information 

collection was first obtained, it included 

the burden imposed on the innovators 

and partner banks. In review of this 

information collection, the FDIC has 

decided to transfer the burden imposed 

on innovators to existing information 

collection 3064–0072 entitled, 

‘‘Acquisition Services Information 

Requirements,’’ which is related to the 

FDIC’s procurement process. The 

remaining hours in this information 

collection, which have been updated 

and increased, reflect the burden 

imposed on banks and other members of 

the public in connection with 

innovation pilot programs. 

Request for Comment 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the collection of information is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the FDIC’s functions, including whether 

the information has practical utility; (b) 

the accuracy of the estimate of the 

burden of the information collection, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology. All comments will become 

a matter of public record.
