3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) 
invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this

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 OMB 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 OMB control number.

the list of FCC ICRs currently under review appears, look for the OMB 
control number of this ICR and then click on the ICR Reference Number. 
A copy of the FCC submission to OMB will be displayed.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0806.
    Title: Universal Service--Schools and Libraries Universal Service 
Program, FCC Forms 470 and 471.
    Form Numbers: FCC Forms 470 and 471.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: State, local or tribal government public institutions, 
and other not-for-profit institutions.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 52,700 respondents, 82,090 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 3.5 hours for FCC Form 470 (3 hours 
for response; 0.5 hours for recordkeeping); 4.5 hours for FCC Form 471 
(4 hours for response; 0.5 hours for recordkeeping).
    Frequency of Response: On occasion, annual reporting, and 
recordkeeping requirements.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 
U.S.C. sections 151-154, 201-205, 218-220, 254, 303(r), 403, and 405.
    Total Annual Burden: 334,405 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No cost.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no assurance of 
confidentiality provided to respondents concerning this information 
collection. However, respondents may request materials or information 
submitted to the Commission or to the Administrator be withheld from 
public inspection under 47 CFR 0.459 of the FCC's rules.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission seeks to revise OMB 3060-0806 to 
conform this information collection to the program changes set forth in 
the Second Report and Order and Order on Reconsideration (Second E-Rate 
Modernization Order) (WC Docket No. 13-184, WC Docket No. 10-90, FCC 
14-189; 80 FR 5961, February 4, 2015).
    Collection of the information on FCC Forms 470 and 471 is necessary 
so that the Commission and the Universal Service Administrative Company 
(USAC) have sufficient information to determine if entities are 
eligible for funding pursuant to the schools and libraries support 
mechanism (the E-rate program), to determine if entities are complying 
with the Commission's rules, and to prevent waste, fraud, and abuse. In 
addition, the information is necessary for the Commission to evaluate 
the extent to which the E-rate program is meeting the statutory 
objectives specified in section 254(h) of the 1996 Act, and the 
Commission's own performance goals established in the Report and Order 
and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (E-rate Modernization Order) 
(WC Docket No. 13-184, FCC 14-99; 79 FR 49160, August 19, 2014) and 
Second E-rate Modernization Order. This information collection is being 
revised to modify FCC Form 471 pursuant to program and rule changes in 
the Second E-rate Modernization Order and to accommodate USAC's new 
online portal as well as the requirement that all FCC Forms 471 be 
electronically filed. On June 22, 2015, OMB approved an emergency 
request to revise OMB 3060-0806 which included revisions to the FCC 
Form 470 only. This revision does not propose changes to the FCC Form 
470 but does seek to extend the six-month emergency extension to the 
full three years.

Secretary.
