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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060-0853.
Title: Compliance with Children's Internet Protection Act; Receipt
of Service Confirmation; and Funding Commitment (FRN) Change Request.
Form Nos.: FCC Forms 479, 486 and 500.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit, not-for-profit
institutions and state, local or tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 45,000 respondents; 45,000 responses.
Estimated Time Per Response: 1-1.5 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion and annual reporting
requirements and third party disclosure requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
Total Annual Burden: 62,500 hours.
Total Annual Cost: N/A.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission is not
requesting that respondents submit confidential information to the
Commission. If the Commission requests applicants to submit information
that the respondents believe is confidential, respondents may request
confidential treatment of such information under section 47 CFR 0.459
of the Commission's rules.
Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this information
collection to OMB as a revision during this comment period to obtain
the full three-year clearance from them. The Commission has revised
this collection since it was last submitted to OMB. The Commission has
eliminated the FCC Form 486-T which was a temporary form to be used in
Funding Year 2003. That date has sunset and the form has been
eliminated. The Commission has also updated the Privacy Act and PRA
[[Page 343]]
burden statement notices contained on each form. Finally, the FCC Form
486 has been modified to include a new certification that certain steps
have been taken prior to the commencement of service (see the Fifth
Report and Order, CC Docket No. 02-6, FCC 04-190). The FCC Forms 479
and 500 remain unchanged since the last submission to the OMB.
The purpose of this information collection is to ensure that
schools and libraries that are eligible to receive discounted Internet
access and internal connections have in place certain Internet safety
policies. Libraries receiving Internet access and internal connection
services supported by the schools and libraries support mechanism must
certify, by completing the FCC Form 486 (Receipt of Service
Confirmation Form), the respondents are indicating they are enforcing a
policy of Internet safety and enforcing the operation of a technology
prevention measure. Respondents who received a Funding Commitment
Decision Letter indicating services eligible for universal service
discounts must file FCC Form 486 in order to start the payment process.
In addition, all members of a consortium must submit signed
certifications to the Billed Entity (using a FCC Form 479,
Certification by Administrative Authority to Billed Entity of
Compliance with Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA)) of each
consortium, in language consistent with that adopted on the FCC Form
486. FCC Form 500 is used in conjunction with the FCC Form 486 to
adjust funding commitments and/or modify the dates for receipt of
service.
OMB Control Number: 3060-0856.
Title: Universal Service--Schools and Libraries Universal Service
Program Reimbursement Forms.
Form Nos.: FCC Forms 472, 473 and 474.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit, not-for-profit
institutions and state, local or tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 21,200 respondents; 91,100 responses.
Estimated Time Per Response: 1-1.5 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion and annual reporting
requirements and third party disclosure requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
Total Annual Burden: 133,650 hours.
Total Annual Cost: N/A.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission does not
request that respondents submit confidential information to the
Commission. If the Commission requests applicants to submit information
that the respondents believe is confidential, respondents may request
confidential treatment of such information under section 47 CFR 0.459
of the Commission's rules.
Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this information
collection to OMB as a revision during this comment period to obtain
the full three-year clearance from them. The Commission has revised
this collection since it was last submitted to OMB. The forms have been
revised to include new certifications that the service provider has
complied with the competitive bidding requirements of the program,
pursuant to the Fifth Report and Order, (CC Docket No. 02-6, FCC 04-
190). In addition, to reduce confusion, the FCC Form 473 will contain
information about one SPIN (rather than multiple SPINs). Note: A SPIN
is a Service Provider Identification Number. The burden hours on all
three forms and their instructions have been updated. All three forms
also contain updated notices for individuals as required by the Privacy
Act and the Paperwork Reduction Act.
The purpose of the FCC Form 472 is to establish the process and
procedure for an eligible entity to seek reimbursement from the service
provider for the discounts on services paid in full. After receiving an
invoice from the service provider, together with an FCC Form 472, the
fund administrator is able to verify the eligible service and approved
amounts that should be reimbursed and can make the appropriate payment.
The FCC Form 472 is used to ensure that each service provider has
provided discounted services within the current funding year for which
it submits an invoice to the Administrator and that invoices submitted
from service providers for the costs of discounted eligible services do
not exceed the amount that has been approved.
The purpose of the FCC Form 473 is to establish that the
participating service provider is eligible to participate in the
program under the FCC's rules governing the schools and libraries
universal service support mechanism pursuant to the Act. The FCC 473 is
used by the Administrator to assure that the dollars paid out by the
fund to service providers go to eligible providers.
The purpose of the FCC Form 474 is to establish the process and
procedure for a service provider to seek payment for the discounted
costs of services it provided to Billed Entities for eligible services.
After receiving an invoice from the service provider, together with an
FCC Form 474, the fund administrator is able to verify that the
eligible and approved amounts can be paid. The FCC Form 474 is used to
ensure that each service provider has provided discounted services
within the current funding year for which it submits an invoice to the
Administrator and that invoices submitted from service providers for
the costs of discounted eligible services do not exceed the amount that
has been approved.
All of the requirements contained in this information collection
are necessary to implement the congressional mandate for universal
service.
Federal Communications Commission.
William F. Caton,
Deputy Secretary.
