Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 178 / Friday, September 15, 2017 / Notices 43365 

Needs and Uses: Section 222 of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended, 47 U.S.C. 222, establishes the 

duty of telecommunications carriers to 

protect the confidentiality of its 

customers’ proprietary information. 

This Customer Proprietary Network 

Information (CPNI) includes personally 

identifiable information derived from a 

customer’s relationship with a provider 

of telecommunications services. This 

information collection implements the 

statutory obligations of Section 222. 

These regulations impose safeguards to 

protect customers’ CPNI against 

unauthorized access and disclosure. In 

March 2007, the Commission adopted 

new rules that focused on the efforts of 

providers of telecommunications 

services to prevent pretexting. These 

rules require providers of 

telecommunications services to adopt 

additional privacy safeguards that, the 

Commission believes, will limit 

pretexters’ ability to obtain 

unauthorized access to the type of 

personal customer information from 

carriers that the Commission regulates. 

In addition, in furtherance of the 

Telephone Records and Privacy 

Protection Act of 2006, the 

Commission’s rules help ensure that law 

enforcement will have necessary tools to 

investigate and enforce prohibitions on 

illegal access to customer records.

Title: 28 GHz Band Segmentation Plan 

Amending the Commission’s Rules to 

Redesignate the 27.5–29.5 GHz 

Frequency Band, to Reallocate the 29.5 

to 30.0 GHz Frequency Band and to 

Establish Rules and Policies. 

Form No.: None. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit. 

Number of Respondents/Responses: 

17 respondents; 17 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 2 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement; third-party 

disclosure requirement. 

Obligation To Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. The statutory 

authority for this information collection 

is contained in 47 U.S.C. 154 and 303. 

Total Annual Burden: 34 hours. 

Annual Cost Burden: $4,950. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No 

impact(s). 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

In general, there is no need for 

confidentiality with this collection of 

information. 

Needs and Uses: The Federal 

Communications Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) is requesting a revision 

of the information collection titled, ‘‘28 

GHz Band’’ under OMB Control No. 

3060–0768 from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB). 

The purpose of the revision is to 

remove the information collection 

requirements that are contained under 

47 CFR Sections 25.203, 25.250, 25.257 

and 25.258 from OMB Control No. 

3060–0768 because they were 

consolidated under OMB Control No. 

3060–0678. The consolidation was 

approved by OMB on August 15, 2014. 

The information collection 

requirements which remain in this 

collection require are as follows: (1) 

Local Multipoint Distribution Systems 

(LMDS) licensees to serve copies of their 

applications on all Non-Geostationary 

Mobile Satellite Service (NGSO/MSS) 

applicants (Section 101.147) and (2) 

NGSO/MSS feeder link earth stations 

must specify a set of geographic 

coordinates for location of these earth 

stations, 15 days after the release of a 

public notice announcing 

commencement of LMDS auctions 

(Section 101.147). 

The information is used by the 

Commission and other applicants and/ 

or licensees in the 28 GHz band to 

facilitate technical coordination of 

systems among applicants and/or 

licensees in the 28 GHz band. Without 

such information, the Commission 

mstockstill on DSK30JT082PROD with NOTICES

43366 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 178 / Friday, September 15, 2017 / Notices 

could not implement the Commission’s 

band plan. 

Affected applicants and licensees are 

required to provide the requested 

information to the Commission and 

other third parties whenever they seek 

authority to provide service in the 28 

GHz band. The frequency of filing is, in 

general, determined by the applicant or 

licensees. If this information is 

compiled less frequently or not filed in 

conjunction with our rules, applicants 

and licensees will not obtain the 

authorization necessary to provide 

telecommunications services. 

Furthermore, the Commission would 

not be able to carry out its mandate as 

required by statute and applicants and 

licensees would not be able to provide 

service effectively.

Title: FCC Consumer Broadband 

Services Testing and Measurement. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Businesses or other forprofit and individuals or households. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 501,020 respondents and 

501,020 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 1 

hour–200 hours. 

Frequency of Response: Biennial 

reporting requirement and third party

Obligation to Respond: Voluntary. 

Statutory authority for this information 

collection is contained in the Broadband 

Data Improvement Act of 2008, Public 

Law 110–385, Stat 4096, 103(c)(1). 

Total Annual Burden: 46,667 hours. 

Total Annual Costs: No Cost. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

All participation in the Measuring 

Broadband America Program is 

voluntary and any participant can 

decline to participate at any time. No 

volunteers’ personally identifying 

information (PII) such as name, phone 

number, or street addresses will be 

transmitted to the Commission from the 

contractor as a matter of vendor policy 

and agency privacy policy. SamKnows 

maintains a series of administrative, 

technical, and physical safeguards to 

protect against the transmission of PII. 

At point of registration, individuals will 

be given full disclosure in a ‘‘privacy 

statement’’ highlighting what 

information will be collected. Fixed 

Broadband ISP Partners receive PII 

about volunteers to confirm the validity 

of the information against their 

subscription records, but will be bound 

by a non-disclosure agreement that will 

maintain various administrative, 

technical and physical safeguards to 

protect the information and limit its use. 

Mobile Broadband ISP Partners have 

access to five kinds of information, 

including location and time of data 

collection, device type and operating 

system version, cellular performance 

and characteristics, and download, 

upload speed and other broadband 

performance, also restricted by a nondisclosure agreement that will maintain 

various administrative, technical and 

physical safeguards to protect the 

information and limit its use. ISP 

Partners providing support to the testing 

program will likewise be bound to the 

same series of administrative, technical 

and physical safeguards developed by 

SamKnows. In addition all third parties 

supporting the program directly will be 

bound by a ‘‘Code of Conduct’’ to ensure 

all participate and act in good faith and 

with other legally enforceable 

documents such as non-disclosure 

agreements. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: This 

information collection effects 

individuals or households. However, 

personally identifiable information (PII) 

such as name, phone number, or street 

addresses is not being collected by, 

made available to or made accessible by 

the Commission but instead by third 

parties including SamKnows, a third 

party contractor, and Internet Service 

Provider (ISP) Partners. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this expiring collection after
