SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–1129. 

Title: Broadband Speed Test and 

Unavailability Registry. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Individuals and 

households. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 7,300 respondents; 7,300 

responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: .017 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

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 Public Law 111–5, 

American Reinvestment and Recovery 

Act of 2009; Public Law 110–385, 

Broadband Data Improvement Act of 

2008, 47 U.S.C. 103(c)(1). 

Total Annual Burden: 124 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: No cost. 

Privacy Impact Assessment: Yes. The 

Commission will retain the street and IP 

address information obtained from 

participants in the speed test. The 

Commission will not release individual 

personally identifiable information (PII) 

to the public. As noted in the 

supporting statement, page 2, the FCC is 

committed to protecting the PII that is 

being collected, stored, maintained, and 

used as part of the Broadband Plan and 

the Broadband Map and the related 

impact studies and filing processes. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

The Commission is not requesting that 

respondents submit confidential 

information to the Commission. If the 

Commission requests that respondents 

submit information which respondents 

believe is confidential, respondents may 

request confidential treatment of such 

information pursuant to section 0.459 of 

the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 0.459. 

The FCC has a system of records, FCC/ 

OSP–1, ‘‘Broadband Dead Zone Report 

and Consumer Broadband Test,’’ to 

cover the collection, purpose(s), storage, 

safeguards, and disposal of the 

personally identifiable information (PII) 

that individuals may submit to enable 

these U.S. residents to voluntarily report 

the unavailability of broadband service 

at the household street address level 

and to test the speed and quality of their 

broadband service and to provide the 

Commission with unique data on 

household availability of broadband and 

on relative broadband speeds. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this expiring information 

collection to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) after this comment 

period to obtain the full, three year 

clearance from them. The Commission 

is seeking an extension for these 

requirements. There is no change in the 

Commission’s previous burden 

estimates. 

The Broadband Data Improvement 

Act of 2008, Public Law 110–385, Stat 

4096, section 103(c)(1) directs the 

Commission to collect information on 

the types of technology used to provide 

broadband to large businesses and small 

businesses, the price of such services, 

actual data transmission speeds and the 

reasons for non-adoption of broadband 

service. Additionally, the FCC in the 

2008 Broadband Data Gather Order 

(23FCC Rcd at 9699, para. 18, 73 FR 

37869,73 FR 37911), instructs the 

Commission to ‘‘design and implement 

a voluntary system that households may 

use to report availability and speed of 

broadband Internet access service at 

their premises.’’ 

The purpose of this collection is to 

enable residents of the United States to 

voluntarily report the unavailability of 

broadband service at the household 

street address level and to test the speed 

and quality of their broadband service. 

This collection will provide the 

Commission with unique data on 

household availability of broadband and 

on relative broadband speeds.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0059. 

Title: Statement Regarding the 

Importation of Radio Frequency Devices 

Capable of Harmful Interference. 

Form No.: FCC Form 740. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 10,000 respondents, 

2,000,000 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 30 

seconds (.0084 hours). 

Frequency of Response: One-time 

reporting requirement and third-party 

disclosure requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this collection of 

information is contained in 47 U.S.C. 

154(i), 157(a), 302(a), 303(b), 303(f), 

303(g) and 303(r). 

Total Annual Burden: 33,600 hours. 

Total Annual Costs: No Costs. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No 

impact(s). 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

There are no confidentiality issues. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this expiring information 

collection to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) after this 60 day 

comment period in order to obtain the 

full three year clearance from them. 

The FCC is responsible for the 

regulation of both authorized radio 

services and devices that can cause 

interference. The FCC, working in 

conjunction with U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP), is responsible 

for ensuring that radio frequency 

devices imported into the United States 

are properly authorized. FCC Form 740 

must be completed for each radio 

frequency device which is imported into 

the United States, and is used to keep 

non-compliant devices from being 

distributed to the general public, 

thereby reducing the potential for 

harmful interference being caused to 

authorized communications. FCC Form 

740 is submitted to CBP electronically 

or, in a few cases, in paper format. The 

FCC Form 740 is not submitted to the 

Federal Communications Commission. 

FCC works with the CBP to resolve 

issues related to the importation of 

unauthorized radio frequency devices, 

and can issue fines for violation of its 

rules. 

This information collection extension 

does not affect the ongoing rulemaking 

in ET Docket 15–170, which includes 

proposed rules that would modify or 

eliminate FCC Form 740.
