Comments are requested concerning: [[Page 26565]] 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 June 8, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB Control Number: 3060-1003. Title: Communications Disaster Information Reporting System (DIRS). Form Number: N/A. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities; Not-for-profit institutions; and/or State, local or tribal governments. Number of Respondents: 4,500 respondents; 39,500 responses. Estimated Time per Response: 0.1 hours to 0.5 hours. Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement. Obligation to Respond: Voluntary. Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47. U.S.C. 154(i), 218 and 303(r) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. Total Annual Burden: 5,950 hours. Total Annual Cost: None. Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s). Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: In accordance with 47 CFR 0.408. Needs and Uses: In response to the events of September 11, 2001, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission or FCC) created an Emergency Contact Information System to assist the Commission in ensuring rapid restoration of communications capabilities after disruption by a terrorist threat or attack, and to ensure that public safety, public health, and other emergency and defense personnel have effective communications services available to them in the immediate aftermath of any terrorist attack within the United States. The Commission submitted, and OMB approved, a collection through which key communications providers could voluntarily provide contact information. The Commission's Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (PSHSB) developed the Disaster Information Reporting System (DIRS) that uses electronic forms to collect Emergency Contact Information forms and through which participants may inform the Commission of damage to communications infrastructure and facilities due to major emergencies and may request resources for restoration. The Commission updated the process by increasing the number of reporting entities to ensure inclusion of wireless, wireline, broadcast, cable, VoIP, and broadband Internet access communications providers. The Commission is requesting a renewal of the currently approved collection. It is imperative that the Disaster Information Reporting System be in place so that the Commission has an accurate picture of the communications landscape during disasters. Legal authority for this collection of information is contained in 47 U.S.C. 154(i), 218, 303(r) and 47 CFR 0.181(h). Federal Communications Commission. Marlene H.
