Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 31 / Wednesday, February 17, 2016 / Notices 8065 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart 

TTT). 

Estimated number of respondents: 10 

(total). 

Frequency of response: Initially, 

quarterly and semiannually. 

Total estimated burden: 992 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $99,700 (per 

year). There are no annualized capital/ 

startup and/or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

adjustment increase in the respondent 

burden from the most recently approved 

ICR. The increase in respondent labor 

hour is caused by a change in 

assumption; in this ICR, we assume all 

existing sources will take some time 

each year to re-familiarize themselves 

with the rule requirements.

Commission 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort 

to reduce paperwork burdens, and as

Commission (FCC or the Commission) 

invites the general public and other 

Federal agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on the

of Management and Budget (OMB) 

control number.

No. 13–184 et al., Second Report and 

Order and Order on Reconsideration, 29 

FCC Rcd 15538 (2014). The Commission 

has received OMB approval for most of 

the information collections required by 

these orders. At a later date the 

Commission plans to submit additional 

revisions for OMB review to address 

other reforms adopted in the orders 

(e.g., 47 CFR 54.313(a)(11)). 

Here, the Commission proposes to 

revise FCC Form 481 and its 

instructions to reflect information 

collection requirements that the 

Commission recently adopted. This 

includes reporting and certification 

requirements for price cap carriers that 

elected to receive Phase II model-based 

support, reporting and certification 

requirements for recipients of rural 

broadband experiment support, a 

reasonably comparable rate certification 

for broadband for recipients of high-cost 

support, and an E-rate bidding 

certification for Phase II model-based 

support and rate-of-return carrier highcost recipients. The Commission also 

proposes to add templates for some of 

these obligations and to add a template 

for the existing obligation that certain 

ETCs report data regarding newly served 

community anchor institutions. 

Additionally, the Commission proposes 

to delete the outdated information 

collection for Phase II model-based 

support elections and to adjust the 

number of respondents for the state 

certification letter and annual reporting 

requirements to reflect that rural 

broadband experiment recipients must 

now meet these requirements. The 

Commission also proposes to modify the 

existing Phase II certification 

requirement to reduce the hours to 

reflect that some aspects of the existing 

certifications have been superseded by 

the new proposed requirements and to 

adjust the number of respondents to 

reflect the number of price cap carriers 

that accepted Phase II model-based 

support. Finally, the Commission 

proposes to make a number of nonsubstantive changes to FCC Form 481 

and its instructions.
