Information Collections Being Submitted for Review and Approval
to Office of Management and Budget
OMB Control Number: 3060-1192.
Title: Survey of Urban Rates, DA 13-598.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents and Responses: 2,350 respondents; 2,350
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 3 hours.
Frequency of Response: Annual reporting requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. Statutory authority for this
information collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. 254(b).
Total Annual Burden: 7,050 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Needs and Uses: In April 2013, the Wireline Competition Bureau of
the Federal Communications Commission adopted an Order (Order), in WC
Docket No. 10-90; DA 13-598, 78 FR 29063, Connect America Fund. The
Order adopted the form and content for a survey of urban rates for
fixed voice and fixed broadband residential services for purposes of
implementing various reforms adopted as part of the USF/ICC
Transformation Order, 76 FR 73830, November 29, 2011. The information
collected in this survey will be used to help ensure that universal
service support recipients offering fixed voice and broadband services
do so at reasonably comparable rates to those in urban areas. The
comparability requirements are important components
[[Page 26815]]
of the Commission's overall effort to improve accountability for the
use of universal service funding. The comparability requirements will
ensure that rates are reasonably comparable for voice as well as
broadband service, between urban and rural, insular, and high cost
areas. Rates must be reasonably comparable so that consumers in rural,
insular, and high cost areas have meaningful access to these services.
This Order requires a statistically valid sample of urban providers to
complete a survey with information regarding the types and prices of
their offerings. The Commission conducts this survey through an online
reporting form accessible to those urban providers of fixed voice and
broadband services that are chosen to participate.
OMB Control Number: 3060-1323.
Title: Schools and Libraries Cybersecurity Pilot Program.
Form Numbers: FCC Forms 470, 471, 472, 474--Cybersecurity, 484 and
488--Cybersecurity.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: State, local or tribal government institutions, and
other not-for-profit institutions.
Number of Respondents and Responses: 3,500 respondents; 17,710
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 3 hours for FCC Form 470--
Cybersecurity, 4 hours for FCC Form 471--Cybersecurity, 1 hour for FCC

FCC Form 488--Cybersecurity, and 4.5 recordkeeping requirements.
Frequency of Response: On occasion and annual reporting
requirements, and recordkeeping requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
Statutory authority for this collection of information is contained in
sections 1-4, 201-202, 254, 303(r), and 403 of the Communications Act
of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 151-154, 201-202, 254, 303(r), and 403.
Total Annual Burden: 121,690 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No Cost.
Needs and Uses: The information collected is designed to obtain
information from applicants and service providers that will be used by
the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) and/or the Universal
Service Administrative Company to evaluate the applications and select
participants to receive funding under the Schools and Libraries
Cybersecurity Pilot Program (Cybersecurity Pilot Program), and make
funding determinations and disburse funding in compliance with
applicable federal laws for payments made through the Cybersecurity
Pilot Program. The Commission started accepting applications to
participate in the Cybersecurity Pilot Program after publication of its
Cybersecurity Pilot Program Report and Order and notice of Office of
Management and Budget approval of the Cybersecurity Pilot Program
information collection in the Federal Register. This revision adds a
third part to the Schools and Libraries Cybersecurity Pilot Program
Application, FCC Form 484, which is necessary so that the Commission
has sufficient information to evaluate whether the Cybersecurity Pilot
Program performance goals and periodic data reporting requirements set
forth in the Cybersecurity Pilot Program Report and Order are being
met. It is also necessary to help assess the costs and benefits of
using the limited universal service funds to support the cybersecurity
needs of K-12 schools and libraries. Finally, it is necessary to
evaluate the extent to which the Cybersecurity Pilot Program is meeting
the statutory objectives specified in section 254(h) of the
Communications Act, as amended.
Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene Dortch,
Secretary, Office of the Secretary.
