As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or the Commission) invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the following information collection. Comments are requested concerning: 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.

Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or the 
Commission) invites the general public and other Federal agencies to 
take this opportunity to comment on the

following information collection. Comments are requested concerning: 
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 January 9, 
2017. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find 
it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice, 
you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Nicole Ongele, FCC, via email 
[email protected] and to [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the 
information collection, contact Nicole Ongele at (202) 418-2991.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control Number: 3060-1126.
    Title: Testing and Logging Requirements for Wireless Emergency 
Alerts (WEA).
    Form Number: Not applicable.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 80 Participating CMS 
Providers; 451,600 Responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.000694 hours (2.5 seconds) to 
generate each alert log; 2 hours to respond to each request for alert 
log data or information about geo-targeting.
    Frequency of Response: Monthly and on occasion reporting 
requirements and recordkeeping requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 
U.S.C. 151, 152, 154(i) and (o), 301, 301(r), 303(v), 307, 309, 335, 
403, 544(g), 606 and 615 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 
as well as by sections 602(a), (b), (c), (f), 603, 604 and 606 of the 
WARN Act.
    Total Annual Burden: 125,390 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No cost.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Participating CMS Providers 
shall make available upon request to the Commission and FEMA, and to 
emergency management agencies that offer confidentiality protection at 
least equal to that provided in the federal Freedom of Information Act 
(FOIA) their alert logs and information about their approach to geo-
targeting insofar as the information pertains to alerts initiated by 
that emergency management agency.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission adopted revisions to Wireless 
Emergency Alert (WEA) rules to take advantage of the significant 
technological changes and improvements experienced by the mobile 
wireless industry since the passage of the Warning, Alert and Response 
Network (WARN) Act, and deployment of Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) 
to improve utility of WEA as a life-saving tool. This action will 
improve alert content, delivery and testing. With respect to 
information collection, in particular, the Commission adopted 
requirements for Participating CMS Providers to log the basic 
attributes of alerts they receive at their Alert Gateway, to maintain 
those logs for at least 12 months, and to make those logs available 
upon request to the Commission and FEMA, and to emergency management 
agencies that offer confidentiality protection at least equal to that 
provided by federal FOIA. The Commission also required Participating 
CMS Providers to disclose information regarding their capabilities for 
geo-targeting Alert Messages upon request to such emergency management 
agencies insofar as it would pertain to Alert Messages initiated by 
that emergency management agency.
    These recordkeeping and reporting requirements have potential to 
increase emergency managers' confidence that WEA will work as intended 
when needed. This increased confidence in system availability will 
encourage emergency managers that do not currently use WEA to become 
authorized. These reporting and recordkeeping requirements also help to 
ensure a fundamental component of system integrity. Alert logs are 
necessary to establish a baseline for system integrity against which 
future iterations of WEA can be evaluated. Without records that can be 
used to describe the quality of system integrity, and the most common 
causes of message transmission failure, it will be difficult to 
evaluate how any changes to WEA that we may adopt subsequent to this 
Report and Order affect system integrity.
