awards. In making these draft 

recommendations, the SAB requires full 

and frank advice from the STAA 

Committee. This advice will involve 

professional judgments on the relative 

merits of various employees and their 

respective work. Such personnel matters 

involve the discussion of information 

that is of a personal nature and the 

disclosure of which would be a clearly 

unwarranted invasion of personal 

privacy and, therefore, are protected 

from disclosure by section (c)(6) of the 

Government in the Sunshine Act, 5 

U.S.C. 552b(c)(6). Minutes of the STAA 

Committee teleconference will be kept 

and certified by the chair.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

[3060–0207] 

Information Collection Being Reviewed 

by the Federal Communications 

Commission 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort 

to reduce paperwork burdens, and as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501– 

3520), the Federal Communications 

Commission (FCC or the Commission) 

invites the general public and other 

Federal agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on the 

following information collection. 

Comments are requested concerning: 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Commission, including whether the 

information shall have practical utility; 

the accuracy of the Commission’s 

burden estimate; ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collected; ways to minimize 

the burden of the collection of 

information on the respondents, 

including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology; and ways to 

further reduce the information 

collection burden on small business 

concerns with fewer than 25 employees. 

The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a 

collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid control 

number. No person shall be subject to 

any penalty for failing to comply with 

a collection of information subject to the 

PRA that does not display a valid Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) 

control number. 

DATES: Written PRA comments should 

be submitted on or before December 22, 

2014. If you anticipate that you will be 

submitting comments, but find it 

difficult to do so within the period of 

time allowed by this notice, you should 

advise the contact listed below as soon 

as possible. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your PRA comments 

to Benish Shah, Federal 

Communications Commission, via the 

Internet at Benish.Shah@fcc.gov. To 

submit your PRA comments by email 

send them to: PRA@fcc.gov.

Director, (202) 418–7866. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0207. 

Title: Part 11—Emergency Alert 

System (EAS). 

Form Number: Not applicable. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Businesses or other forprofit; not-for-profit institutions; and 

state, local or tribal government. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 3,569,028,080 respondents; 

3,569,028 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 

.0229776 hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement and 

recordkeeping requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Voluntary 

response for business or other for-profit 

and not-for-respondents. Mandatory 

response for state, local or tribal 

government. Statutory authority for this 

information collection is contained in 

47 U.S.C 154(i) and 606 of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended. 

Total Annual Burden: 82,008 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: N/A. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

There is no need for confidentiality. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

seeking and extension of this 

information collection in order to obtain 

the full three year approval from OMB. 

There are no changes in any of the 

reporting and/or recordkeeping 

requirements. There is no change to the 

Commission’s previous burden 

estimated. 

The Commission established a 

voluntary electronic method of 

complying with the reporting that EAS 

participants must complete as part of 

the national EAS test. This electronic 

submission system will impose a lesser 

burden on EAS test participants because 

they can input electronically (via a webbased interface) the same information 

into a confidential database that the 

Commission would use to monitor and 

assess the test. Test participants would 

submit the identifying data prior to the 

test date. On the day of the test, EAS 

participants would be able to input 

immediate test results. They would 

input the remaining data called for by 

our reporting rules within the 45 day 

period. Structuring an electronic 

reporting system in this fashion will 

allow the participants to populate the 

database with known information prior 

to the test, and thus be able to provide 

the Commission with actual test data, 

both close to real-time and within a 

reasonable period in a minimally 

burdensome fashion

Needs and Uses: The information 

collection entailed in a Public Safety 

Answering Point (PSAP) request is 

necessary to initiate E911 service, and 

serves as notice to the CMRS provider. 

The notification requirement on PSAPs 

will be used by the carriers to verify that 

wireless E911 calls are referred to 

PSAPs who have the technical 

capability to use the data to the caller’s 

benefit. If the carrier challenges the 

validity of the request, the request will 

be deemed valid if the PSAP making the 

request provides the following 

information: 

A. Cost Recovery. The PSAP must 

demonstrate that a mechanism is in 

place by which the PSAP will recover 

its costs of the facilities and equipment 

necessary to receive and utilize the E911 

data elements; 

B. Necessary Equipment. The PSAP 

must provide evidence that it has 

ordered the equipment necessary to 

receive and utilize the E911 data 

elements; and 

C. Necessary Facilities. The PSAP 

must demonstrate that it has made a 

timely request to the appropriate local 

exchange carrier for the necessary 

trunking and other facilities to enable 

E911 data to be transmitted to the PSAP. 

In the alternative, the PSAP may 

demonstrate that a funding mechanism 

is in place, that it is E911 capable using 

a Non-Call Associated Signaling 

technology, and that it has made a 

timely request to the appropriate LEC 

for the necessary ALI database upgrade.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND 

HUMAN SERVICES 

Office of the National Coordinator for 

Health Information Technology 

Announcement of Requirements and 

Registration for ‘‘Market R&D Pilot 

Challenge’’ 

Authority: 15 U.S.C. 3719. 

AGENCY: Office of the National 

Coordinator for Health Information 

Technology, HHS. 

Award Approving Official: Dr. Karen 

DeSalvo, National Coordinator for 

Health Information Technology. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Developers and innovators 

have many great ideas and products that 

could improve the U.S. health care 

system and make life better for patients 

and care providers. However, effecting 

actual change is extremely difficult due 

to the high barriers to entry in the health 

IT space. Once an innovative new 

product has been developed, it needs to 

be tested in real-life care settings. But 

providers can be hesitant to host this 

testing for a myriad of reasons—they 

may have had bad experiences in the 

past, be anxious about deploying new 

tools that may disrupt their workflows, 

or be wary of encountering more 

problems than the solution solves. 

Without this testing, it cannot be 

determined how well the product 

actually works, making it difficult for 

the developers to identify the changes 

that need to be made to the product to 

make it more effective. Furthermore, 

without evidence of the uses a product 

can provide it is that much harder to 

acquire the venture funding that can 

fuel further advancement and lead to 

successful entry in the marketplace. 

The Market R&D Pilot Challenge is 

intended to help bridge this gap by 

bringing together health care 

organizations (‘‘Hosts’’) and innovative 

companies (‘‘Innovators’’) through pilot 

funding awards and facilitated 

matchmaking. The Challenge seeks to 

award pilot proposals in three different 

domains: Clinical environments (e.g., 

hospitals, ambulatory care, surgical 

centers), public health and community 

environments (community-based 

personnel such as public health 

departments, community health 

workers, mobile medical trucks, schooland jail-based clinics), and consumer 

health (e.g., self-insured employers, 

pharmacies, laboratories). Hosts and 

Innovators will submit joint pilot 

proposals, with the winners, as 

determined by an expert panel, 

proceeding to implement their pilots. 

The Challenge’s primary goals are to: 

• Encourage early collaboration 

between entrepreneurs, medical and 

public health personnel, patients, and 

the research community to link 

innovation in health IT to innovation in 

care delivery; 

• De-risk early stage health IT and 

digital health products for future 

clinical testing and investment; 

• Encourage uptake of and ensure the 

market is aware of ONC standards and 

functions within certified electronic 

health record technologies; and 

• Explore evidence collection 

methods and relevant metrics for early 

stage health IT products that may better 

match agile software development. 

The statutory authority for this 

challenge competition is Section 105 of 

the America COMPETES 

Reauthorization Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 

111–358). 

DATES: 

Applicants:
