FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the 
Federal Communications Commission, Comments Requested

April 8, 2010.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden invites the general public 
and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the 
following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501 - 3520. Comments are 
requested concerning: (a) 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; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; (c) ways 
to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information 
collected; (d) 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 (e) 
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 Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that does not 
display a currently valid OMB control number.

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before June 14, 2010. If you anticipate that you will 
be submitting PRA comments, but find it difficult to do so within the 
period of time allowed by this notice, you should advise the FCC 
contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Nicholas A. Fraser, Office of 
Management and Budget, via fax at 202-395-5167 or via the Internet at

Commission via email to [email protected].

    Title: Spectrum Dashboard Customer Feedback.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Individuals or households, business or other for-
profit, not-for-profit institutions, Federal Government, and state, 
local or tribal government.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 22,000 respondents; 22,000 
responses.
    Estimated Time Per Response: .05 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Voluntary. Statutory authority for this 
information collection is contained in the American Reinvestment and

    Total Annual Burden: 1,100 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: N/A.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes. The FCC has a Privacy Policy 
that covers individuals who access the FCC's webpages, at: <http://www.fcc.gov/fccprivacypolicy.html>. There is also a system of records, 
FCC/OMD-20, ``Inter-office and Remote Access Internet E-Mail Systems,'' 
which was published in the Federal Register on April 5, 2006 (65 FR 
17234, 17265) and a Privacy Impact Assessment at: <http://www.fcc.gov/omd/privacyact/System_of_records/pia-email.pdf> to cover the 
collection of IP addresses of those who access FCC webpages.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: No personally identifiable 
information will be obtained as part of this information collection, 
except the collection of IP addresses when an individual or other 
entity access the FCC's webpages.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission sought and obtained emergency 
processing of this information collection in March 2010. Emergency OMB 
approval requests are only granted for six months. This collection is 
due to expire in September 2010. Therefore, the Commission is 
publishing this 60 day notice in anticipation of submitting this for 
the full OMB review and clearance. The Commission is requesting an 
extension of the current OMB approval and there is no change in the 
Commission's estimates.
    As part of the Commission Broadband Plan, the FCC has created the 
Spectrum Dashboard, a database of the frequency bands from 225 MHz - 
3.7 GHz available for non-federal uses, including for broadband 
deployment across the nation. The Spectrum Dashboard also makes 
information transparent and readily available to interested 
stakeholders (e.g., service providers, manufacturers, innovators, 
investors, etc.) to better enable them to gain access to spectrum and 
to help them assist the Commission in our spectrum policy decisions. 
The increased accessibility to spectrum and licensing information made 
possible by the Spectrum Dashboard is particularly valuable at this 
time as multiple stakeholders search for ways to participate in the 
deployment of wireless broadband throughout the nation.
    The purpose of this collection is to enable individuals and others 
to voluntarily provide feedback on their experience with the Spectrum 
Dashboard. This collection will provide the Commission with unique data 
on how stakeholders are using the Spectrum Database and what 
improvements or enhancements they would like to see in future versions 
of the Spectrum Dashboard.
