FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

[OMB 3060-1200]


Information Collection Approved by the Office of the Management 
and Budget (OMB)

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission has received Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approval for a revision of a currently 
approved public information collection pursuant to the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520). An agency may not 
conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number, and no person is required to 
respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently 
valid control number. Comments concerning the accuracy of the burden 
estimates and any suggestions for reducing the burden should be 
directed to the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT 
section below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nicole Ongele, Office of Managing 
Director, FCC, at (202) 418-2991, or email: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-1200.
    OMB Approval Date: September 21, 2015.
    OMB Expiration Date: September 30, 2018.
    Title: Application to Participate in Rural Broadband Experiments 
and Post-Selection Review of Rural Broadband Experiment Winning 
Bidders.
    Form Number: FCC Form 5620.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit, and Not-for-profit 
institutions.
    Estimated Number of Respondents and Responses: 47 respondents; 135 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 2-20 hours.
    Frequency of Response: One-time; occasional reporting requirements 
and annual recordkeeping requirements.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 
U.S.C. 151-154 and 254.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 1,834 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No cost(s).
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Information collected in FCC 
Form 5620 will be confidential. Information collected in the November 
interim progress report and in the build-out milestone certifications 
will be made publicly available.
    Needs and Uses: On January 31, 2014, the Commission released the 
Tech Transitions Order, 79 FR 11327, February 28, 2014, that adopted 
targeted experiments to explore the impact of technology transitions on 
rural Americans, including those living on Tribal lands. On July 14, 
2014, the Commission released the Rural Broadband Experiments Order, 79 
FR 45705, August 6, 2014, which established certain parameters and 
requirements for the rural broadband experiments adopted by the 
Commission in the Tech Transitions Order. Under this information 
collection, the Commission will collect information to determine 
whether winning bidders are technically and financially capable of 
receiving funding for rural broadband experiment projects. To aid in 
collecting this information regarding the rural broadband experiments, 
the Commission has created FCC Form 5620, which provisionally selected 
winning bidders use to demonstrate that they have the technical and 
financial qualifications to successfully complete the proposed project 
within the required timeframes. This form is available electronically 
through the Internet, and electronic filing will be required. The 
Commission will also collect information through a November interim 
progress report and build-out milestone certifications accompanied by 
evidence that will enable the Commission to monitor the progress of the 
rural broadband experiments and ensure that the support is used for its 
intended purposes. Finally, under this information collection, rural 
broadband experiment recipients must retain records required to 
demonstrate to auditors that the support was used consistent with the 
terms and conditions for a period of ten years. The Communications Act 
of 1934, as amended requires the ``preservation and advancement of 
universal service.'' The information collection requirements reported 
under this new collection are the result of various Commission actions 
to promote the Act's universal service goals, while minimizing waste, 
fraud, and abuse.
