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

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

OMB Control Number: 3060–0944. 

Title: Cable Landing License Act—47 

CFR 1.767; 1.768; Executive Order 

10530. 

Form Number: Submarine Cable 

Landing License Application. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business and other forprofit. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 38 respondents; 94 

responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 0.50 

hour to 17 hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement, Quarterly 

reporting requirement, Recordkeeping 

requirement and third-party disclosure 

requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. The statutory 

authority for this collection is contained 

in the Submarine Cable Landing License 

Act of 1921, 47 U.S.C. 34–39, Executive 

Order 10530, section 5(a), and the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended, 47 U.S.C. 151, 152, 154(i)–(j), 

155, 303(r), 309, 403. 

Total Annual Burden: 421 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $88,505. 

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 that the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) approve a three-year extension of 

OMB Control No. 3060–0944. There are 

no changes in the number of 

respondents, responses, annual burden 

hours and annual costs. 

The information will be used by the 

Commission staff in carrying out its 

duties under the Submarine Cable 

Landing License Act of 1921, 47 U.S.C. 

34–39, Executive Order 10530, section 

5(a), and the Communications Act of 

1934, as amended. The information 

collections are necessary largely to 

determine whether and under what 

conditions the Commission should grant 

a license for proposed submarine cables 

landing in the United States, including 

applicants that are, or are affiliated 

with, foreign carriers in the destination 

market of the proposed submarine cable. 

Pursuant to Executive Order No. 10530, 

the Commission has been delegated the 

President’s authority under the Cable 

Landing License Act to grant cable 

landing licenses, provided that the 

Commission must obtain the approval of 

the State Department and seek advice 

from other government agencies as 

appropriate. If the collection is not 

conducted or is conducted less 

frequently, applicants will not obtain 

the authorizations necessary to provide 

telecommunications services and 

facilities, and the Commission will be 

unable to carry out its mandate under 

the Cable Landing License Act and 

Executive Order 10530. In addition, 

without the collection, the United States 

would jeopardize its ability to fulfill the 

U.S. obligations as negotiated under the 

World Trade Organization (WTO) Basic 

Telecom Agreement because certain of 

these information collection 

requirements are imperative to detecting 

and deterring anticompetitive conduct. 

They are also necessary to preserve the 

Executive Branch agencies’ and the 

Commission’s ability to review foreign 

investments for national security, law 

enforcement, foreign policy, and trade 

concerns.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

Privacy Act of 1974; Matching 

Program. 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice of a new matching 

program. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Privacy Act of 1974, as amended 

(‘‘Privacy Act’’), this document 

announces the establishment of a 

computer matching program the Federal 

Communications Commission (‘‘FCC’’ 

or ‘‘Commission’’ or ‘‘Agency’’) and the 

Universal Service Administrative 

Company (USAC) will conduct with 

four non-Federal agencies. The purpose 

of this matching program is to verify the 

eligibility of applicants to and 

subscribers of the Universal Service 

Fund (USF) Lifeline program, which is 

administered by USAC under the 

direction of the FCC. More information 

about this program is provided in the 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section 

below. 

DATES: Written comments are due on or 

before November 9, 2017. This 

computer matching program will 

commence on November 9, 2017 unless 

comments are received that require a 

contrary determination.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Mr. 

Leslie F. Smith, Privacy Manager, 

Information Technology (IT), Room 1– 

C216, FCC, 445 12th Street SW., 

Washington, DC 20554, or to

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Lifeline program provides support for 

discounted broadband and voice 

services to low-income consumers. 

Lifeline is administered by the 

Universal Service Administrative 

Company (USAC) under FCC direction. 

Consumers qualify for Lifeline through 

proof of income or participation in a 

qualifying program, such as Medicaid, 

the Supplemental Nutritional 

Assistance Program (SNAP), Federal 

Public Housing Assistance, 

Supplemental Security Income (SSI), or 

Veterans and Survivors Pension Benefit. 

In a Report and Order adopted on March 

31, 2016, the Commission ordered 

USAC to create a National Lifeline 

Eligibility Verifier (‘‘National Verifier’’), 

including the National Lifeline 

Eligibility Database (LED), that would 

match data about Lifeline applicants 

and subscribers with other data sources 

to verify the eligibility of an applicant 

or subscriber. The Commission found 

that the National Verifier would reduce 

compliance costs for Lifeline service 

providers, improve service for Lifeline 

subscribers, and reduce waste, fraud, 

and abuse in the program. 

Participating Non-Federal Agencies 

• Colorado Office of Information 

Technology; 

• Mississippi Department of Human 

Services; 

• New Mexico Human Services 

Department; and 

• Utah Department of Workforce 

Services.

Program 

47 U.S.C. 254; 47 CFR 54.400 et seq.; 

Lifeline and Link Up Reform and 

Modernization, et al., Third Report and 

Order, Further Report and Order, and 

Order on Reconsideration, 31 FCC Rcd 

3962, 4006–21, paras. 126–66 (2016) 

(2016 Lifeline Modernization Order). 

Purpose(s) 

In the 2016 Lifeline Modernization 

Order, the FCC required USAC to 

develop and operate a National Lifeline 

Eligibility Verifier (National Verifier) to 

improve efficiency and reduce waste, 

fraud, and abuse in the Lifeline 

program. The stated purpose of the 

National Verifier is ‘‘to increase the 

integrity and improve the performance 

of the Lifeline program for the benefit of 

a variety of Lifeline participants, 

including Lifeline providers, 

subscribers, states, community-based 

organizations, USAC, and the 

Commission.’’ 31 FCC Rcd 3962, 4006, 

para. 126. To help determine whether 

Lifeline applicants and subscribers are 

eligible for Lifeline benefits, the Order 

contemplates that a USAC-operated 

Lifeline Eligibility Database (LED) will 

communicate with information systems 

and databases operated by other Federal 

and State agencies. Id. at 4011–2, paras. 

135–7. 

Categories of Individuals 

The categories of individuals whose 

information is involved in this matching 

program include, but are not limited to, 

those individuals (residing in a single 

household) who have applied for 

Lifeline benefits; are currently receiving 

Lifeline benefits; are individuals who 

enable another individual in their 

household to qualify for Lifeline 

benefits; are minors whose status 

qualifies a parent or guardian for 

Lifeline benefits; are individuals who 

have received Lifeline benefits; or are 

individuals acting on behalf of an 

eligible telecommunications carrier 

(ETC) who have enrolled individuals in 

the Lifeline program. 

Categories of Records 

The categories of records involved in 

the matching program include, but are 

not limited to, a Lifeline applicant or 

subscriber’s full name; physical and 

mailing addresses; partial Social 

Security number or Tribal ID number; 

date of birth; qualifying person’s full 

name (if qualifying person is different 

from subscriber); qualifying person’s 

physical and mailing addresses; 

qualifying person’s partial Social 

Security number or Tribal ID number, 

and qualifying person’s date of birth. 

The National Verifier will transfer these 

data elements to the source agencies, 

which will respond either ‘‘yes’’ or ‘‘no’’ 

that the individual is enrolled in a 

Lifeline-qualifying assistance program. 

System(s) of Records 

The USAC records shared as part of 

this matching program reside in the 

Lifeline system of records, FCC/WCB–1, 

Lifeline Program, a notice of which the 

FCC published at 82 FR 38686 (Aug. 15, 

2017). The August 15, 2017 notice is an 

update to this system of records that 

reflects the new uses involved in 

operating this matching program and it 

modified the system of records, notice 

of which the FCC previously had 

published at 78 FR 73535 (Dec. 6, 2013).
