FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

[OMB 3060–1139] 

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, 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 November 14, 

2017. 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: Direct all PRA comments to 

Nicole Ongele, FCC, via email PRA@

fcc.gov and to Nicole.Ongele@fcc.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

additional information about the 

information collection, contact Nicole 

Ongele at (202) 418–2991. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 

Commission) invites the general public 

and other Federal agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on the 

following information collections. 

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. 

OMB Control Number: 3060–1139. 

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 

disclosure requirement. 

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

1The FR Y–9 family of reporting forms are the 

primary source of financial data on bank holding 

companies (BHCs), savings and loan holding 

companies (SLHCs), securities holding companies 

(SHCs), and U.S. Intermediate Holding Companies 

(IHCs) (collectively, holding companies (HCs)). The 

FR Y–7N family of reporting forms collect financial 

information for non-functionally regulated U.S. 

nonbank subsidiaries held by foreign banking 

organizations (FBOs) other than through a BHC, 

IHC, or U.S. bank. The FR 2886b reporting form 

collects financial data from banking Edge and 

agreement corporations and investment 

(nonbanking) Edge and agreement corporations 

(collectively, Edges or Edge corporations). 

2See 82 FR 32812 (July 18, 2017). 

3The FR Y–11 reporting forms collect financial 

information for individual non-functionally 

regulated U.S. nonbank subsidiaries of domestic 

holding companies. The FR 2314 reporting forms 

collect financial information for non-functionally 

regulated direct or indirect foreign subsidiaries of 

U.S. state member banks, Edge and agreement 

corporations, and holding companies. 

this 60-day comment period to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) to obtain the full three-year 

clearance. 

This study’s collection of information 

on actual speeds and performance of 

fixed and mobile broadband 

connections delivered to consumers by 

ISPs has been reported to be of great 

value to academic researchers, 

manufacturers and technology 

providers, broadband providers, public 

interest groups and other diverse 

stakeholders. Validation of fixed 

broadband subscribed speeds as 

opposed to actual speeds by 

participating ISPs remains unique to 

this program and provides a context for 

measured speeds. Mobile broadband 

performance information is measured 

using the FCC Speed Test app for 

Android and iPhone devices to test the 

upload and download speed, latency 

and packet loss, as well as the wireless 

performance characteristics of the 

broadband connection and the kind of 

handsets and versions of operating 

systems tested. Information the FCC 

Speed Test App (‘‘Application’’) collects 

is limited to information used to 

measure volunteers’ mobile broadband 

service and no personally identifiable 

information, such as subscribers’ name, 

phone number or unique identifiers 

associated with a device is collected. 

Software-based tools and online tools 

exist that can test consumer’s broadband 

connections, including a set of 

consumer tools launched by the FCC in 

conjunction with the National 

Broadband Plan. However, these tools 

track speeds experienced by consumers, 

rather than speeds delivered directly to 

a consumer by an ISP. The distinction 

is important for supporting Agency 

broadband policy analysis, as ISPs 

advertise speeds and performance 

delivered rather than speeds 

experienced, which suffers from 

degradation outside of an ISP’s control. 

No other dedicated panel of direct 

fixed and mobile broadband 

performance measurement using 

publicly documented methodologies 

using free and add-free technologies 

exists today in the country. The program 

will continue to support existing 

software-based tools and online tools 

but the focus of the program will remain 

the direct measurement of broadband 

performance delivered to the consumer. 

The collection effort also has specific 

elements focused on further network 

performance statistics, time of day 

parameters, and other elements affecting 

consumers’ broadband experience that 

are not tracked elsewhere. The 

information to be confirmed by ISP 

Partners about their subscribers or 

technical and market data regarding the 

broadband services they provide is 

unavailable from other sources.
