Information Collections Being Submitted for Review and Approval
to the Office of Management and Budget
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 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
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 Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) control number. No person shall be subject to any penalty for
failing to comply with a collection of information subject to the PRA

Estimated Time per Response: .5 hours-40 hours.
Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping requirement, On occasion
reporting requirement and Third party disclosure requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The
statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47
U.S.C. 154(I), 303(g), 303(r) and 332.
Total Annual Burden: 324,470 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Privacy Impact Assessment: This information collection affects
individuals or households; thus, there are impacts under the Privacy
Act. However, the government is not directly collecting this
information and the R&O directs carriers to protect the information to
the extent it is considered Customer Proprietary Network Information
(CPNI).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for
confidentiality with this collection of information.
Needs and Uses: On September 19, 2014, the Federal Communications
Commission (Commission or FCC) adopted an Order on Reconsideration in
WT Docket No. 10-4, FCC No. 14-138, in which it took the following
action, among others: Required that Consumer Signal Boosters certified
for fixed operation only be labeled to notify consumers that such
devices may only be used in fixed, in-building locations. Therefore,
the new labeling requirement which requires OMB review and approval is
as follows:
The labeling requirement is covered under 47 section
20.21(f)(1)(iv)(A)(2). The new requirement is needed in order to ensure
that consumers are properly informed about which devices are suitable
for their use and how to comply with our rules, the Commission required
that all Consumer Signal Boosters certified for fixed, in-building
operation include a label directing consumers that the device may only
be operated in a fixed, in-building location. The Verizon Petitioners
state that this additional labeling requirement is necessary to inform
purchasers of fixed Consumer Signal Boosters that they may not lawfully
be installed and operated in a moving vehicle or outdoor location. We
recognize that our labeling requirement imposes additional costs on
entities that manufacture Consumer Signal Boosters; however, on
balance, we find that such costs are outweighed by the benefits of
ensuring that consumers purchase appropriate devices. Accordingly, all
fixed Consumer Signal Boosters, both Provider-Specific and Wideband,
manufactured or imported on or after one year from the effective date
of the rule change must include the following advisory (1) in on-line
point-of-sale marketing materials, (2) in any print or on-line owner's
manual and installation instructions, (3) on the outside packaging of
the device, and (4) on a label affixed to the device: ``This device may
be operated ONLY in a fixed location for in-building use.''
OMB Control Number: 3060-xxxx.
Title: Section 73.1216, Licensee-Conducted Contests.
Form Number: None. (Complaints alleging violations of the Contest
Rule generally are filed on FCC Forms 2000E, 2000A or 2000F (OMB
Control Number 3060 0874)).
Type of Review: Existing information collection in use without an
OMB Control Number.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities; Not-for-profit
institutions.
Number of Respondents and Responses: 20,481 respondents; 20,481
responses.

Frequency of Response: Third party disclosure requirement.
Total Annual Burden: 209,930 hours.
Total Annual Costs: $6,144,300.
Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The
statutory authority for this collection of information is contained in
Sections 1, 4 and 303 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for
confidentiality with this collection of information.
Privacy Impact Assessment(s): No impact(s).
Needs and Uses: The Commission adopted the Contest Rule in 1976 to
address concerns about the manner in which broadcast stations were
conducting contests over the air. The Contest Rule generally requires
stations to broadcast material contest terms fully and accurately the
first time the audience is told how to participate in a contest, and
periodically thereafter. In addition, stations must conduct contests
substantially as announced. These information collection requirements
are necessary to ensure that broadcast licensees conduct contests with
due regard for the public interest.
