contract vendor as a matter of vendor 

policy. SamKnows, Inc. maintains a 

series of administrative, technical and 

physical safeguards to protect against 

the transmission of personally 

identifying information. At point of 

registrations, individuals will be given 

full disclosure, highlighting what 

information will be collected, and 

importantly, what information will not 

be collected. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

Yes. See Privacy Act Impact Assessment 

above. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

submitted this information collection to 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) on April 2, 2010 under the 

emergency processing provisions of 5 

CFR 1320.13. The Commission obtained 

OMB approval on 4/30/2010. 

Emergency OMB approvals are only 

granted for six months. Therefore the 

Commission is now seeking the full 

three year clearance for this information 

collection. 

There is no change in the 

Commission’ estimated burden. There is 

no change in the reporting 

requirements. 

The Commission’s Office of Strategic 

Policy and Planning Analysis and the 

Consumer and Intergovernmental 

Affairs Bureau plan to conduct a 

hardware–based test and analysis of 

11,000 consumer broadband 

connections to examine the performance 

of services across a number of 

parameters. This survey is crucial to 

comparing what consumers know – and 

need to know – about the speeds and 

performance, and terms and conditions 

of broadband and related services to 

services purchased. 

The Commission has contracted with 

SamKnows, Inc. to measure the speeds 

and performance of a representative, 

cost–effective, statistically relevant 

sample of US fixed broadband 

households across geographies, 

technologies and providers. This 

measurement will occur on an opt–in, 

voluntary basis. This representative 

sample will be used to create a baseline 

level of performance and measurements 

for the FCC. The third party 

measurement contractor will deploy 

testing devices to begin measurement, 

and these results will be then used to 

inform measurement standards for 

performance of broadband services, in 

support of the FCC–led National 

Broadband Plan.
