FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

Notice of Public Information 

Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the 

Federal Communications Commission, 

Comments Requested 

January 16, 2009. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications 

Commissions (Commission or FCC), as

paperwork burden invites the general 

public and other Federal agencies to 

take this opportunity to comment on the 

following information collection, as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995, Public Law 104–13. An

any penalty for failing to comply with 

a collection of information subject to the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that 

does not display a valid control number. 

Comments are requested concerning (a) 

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; 

(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s 

burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collected; and (d) 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. 

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction 

Act (PRA) comments should be 

submitted on or before March 27, 2009.

alternate arrangements. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

additional information about the 

information collection(s) send an e-mail 

to PRA@fcc.gov or contact Cathy 

Williams at (202) 418–2918. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–XXXX. 

Title: Cable Subscribership Survey. 

Form Number: Not applicable. 

Type of Review: New Information 

Collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities; State, Local or Tribal 

Government. 

Number of Respondents: 6,600. 

Number of Responses: 13,200. 

Estimated Time per Response: 2 hours 

per response. 

Frequency of Response: One time 

reporting requirement. 

Total Annual Burden: 26,400 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $1,320,000. 

Obligation To Respond: Mandatory. 

The statutory authority for this 

information collection is contained in 

section 612(g) of the Communications 

Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 

532(g). 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

There is no need for confidentiality with 

this collection of information. However, 

the Commission made special 

provisions for operators that would like 

to withhold their information from 

public inspection. Operators who wish 

to request that their information be 

withheld from public inspection must 

submit the request pursuant to 47 CFR 

0.459 in a letter addressed to the 

Secretary, and state the fields to which 

the request applies. They also should 

provide a complete explanation of why 

such treatment is appropriate, pursuant 

to 47 CFR 0.459(c), as casual requests 

will not be considered. 

Privacy Impact Assessment: No 

impact(s). 

Needs and Uses: Section 612(g) of the 

Communications Act, 47 CFR 532(g), 

states that: (1) ‘‘At such time as cable 

systems with 36 or more activated 

channels are available to 70 percent of 

households within the United States’’ 

and (2) ‘‘are subscribed to by 70 percent 

of the households to which such 

systems are available, the Commission 

may promulgate any additional rules 

necessary to provide diversity of 

information sources.’’ Although there is 

no disagreement that the first prong of 

the 70/70 test has been met, the 

question of whether the second prong 

has been met is less clear. One data 

source that the Commission has 

traditionally relied on shows that the 

second prong of the 70/70 test has been 

met. However, other data sources do not 

demonstrate that the second prong has 

been met. The available data sources 

have some limitations because the 

reported cable penetration rates are not 

4438 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 15 / Monday, January 26, 2009 / Notices 

calculated from a complete census of 

cable systems. The only way to 

accurately conclude that the 70/70 test 

has been met is to have the entire cable 

industry provide to the Commission the 

data for all cable systems. Specifically, 

we will require each cable operator to 

provide for 2006 and 2007 for each 

cable system on a zip code basis: (1) The 

total number of homes the cable 

operator currently passes; (2) the total 

number of homes the cable operator 

currently passes with 36 or more 

activated channels; (3) the total number 

of actual subscribers, including all 

subscribers in multiple dwelling units 

(MDUs); and (4) the total number of 

subscribers to systems with 36 or more 

activated channels. The submitted 

information will allow the Commission 

to calculate the 70/70 test for the entire 

universe of cable systems, which will be 

more accurate than relying on the 

available sample statistics. 

A cable operator may certify to the 

Commission that it does not possess the 

requested information for calendar year 

2006 and that it is not possible for the 

operator to compile such data for 

calendar year 2006. The Commission 

will provide cable operators that do not 

possess 2006 data with a certification 

form to be signed, dated, and returned 

to the Commission. This form will not 

impose any additional burden on cable 

operators.

Proposed Project 

Economic Analysis of the National 

Breast and Cervical Cancer Early 

Detection Program (NBCCEDP) (OMB 

No. 0920–0776 exp. 4/30/2009)— 

Revision—National Center for Chronic 

Disease Prevention and Health 

Promotion (NCDDPHP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The CDC-funded National Breast and 

Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program 

(NBCCEDP) is the largest organized 

cancer screening program in the United 

States. The NBCCEDP provides critical 

breast and cervical cancer screening 

services to underserved women through 

grants to 50 states, the District of 

Columbia, 4 U.S. territories, and 13 

American Indian/Alaska Native 

organizations. In the past decade, the 

NBCCEDP has provided over 7.8 million 

breast and cervical cancer screening and 

diagnostic exams to over 3.2 million 

low-income women. Women diagnosed 

with cancer through the program are 

eligible for Medicaid coverage through 

the Breast and Cervical Cancer 

Prevention and Treatment Act passed by 

Congress in 2000. 

In 2008, CDC obtained OMB approval 

to collect one year of activity-based cost 

information from all 68 NBCCEDP 

grantees. With this revision request, 

CDC proposes to collect two additional, 

consecutive years of information and to 

implement a minor change to the data 

collection instrument, the Cost 

Assessment Tool (CAT), regarding 

screening activities supported through 

non-Federal funds. The additional 

information will allow CDC to calculate 

averages over time that reduce year-toyear fluctuations and provide better 

estimates of activity-based costs. 

The information is being collected to 

support activity-based analysis of the 

costs and cost-effectiveness of the 

NBCCEDP. The information will be used 

to assess the costs of various program 

components, identify factors that impact 

average cost, perform cost-effectiveness 

analysis, and to develop a resource 

allocation tool for ensuring the most 

appropriate use of limited program 

resources. The information required to 

perform an activity-based cost analysis 

includes: staff and consultant salaries, 

screening costs, contracts and material 

costs, provider payments, in-kind 

contributions, administrative costs, 

allocation of funds, and staff time 

devoted to specific program activities. 

Data will be collected electronically. 

NBCCEDP grantees currently report 

information on screening and diagnosis 

volumes (the effectiveness measures for 

the program) as part of the Minimum 

Data Elements (MDE) for the NBCCEDP 

(OMB 0920–0571, exp. 1/31/2010). Cost 

information to be collected through the 

CAT will complement information 

currently collected through the MDE 

project. 

There are no costs to respondents 

other than their time. The total
