SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    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 Commission) 
invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this 
opportunity to comment on the following information collections. 
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

other forms of information technology; and ways to further reduce the 
information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer 
than 25 employees.
    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; Federal Government; and/or State, local or tribal 
governments.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 5,000 respondents; 40,900 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.10-0.50 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. Sections 154(i), 218 
and 303(r) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
    Total Annual Burden: 6,950 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No Cost.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: DIRS filings consists of 
sensitive information that for national security and/or commercial 
reasons, the Commission will treat the filings at the time of receipt 
as non-public and presumptively confidential. However, DIRS filings 
will be shared with the Department of Homeland Security and the other 
Federal agencies authorized to participate in the National Response 
Framework Emergency Support Function-2 (ESF-2)(Communications). The 
Commission may publish or otherwise share anonymized summaries of DIRS 
filings at its discretion.
    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.
    Statutory authority for this collection of information is contained 
in 47 U.S.C. 154(i), 218, 303(r) and 47 CFR Section 0.181(h).
