Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection. Respondents: State, local or tribal government institutions, and other not-for-profit institutions. Number of Respondents and Responses: 3,500 respondents; 17,710 responses. Estimated Time per Response: 3 hours for FCC Form 470-- Cybersecurity, 4 hours for FCC Form 471--Cybersecurity, 1 hour for FCC Forms 472/474--Cybersecurity, 14 hours for FCC Form 484, and 1 hour for FCC Form 488--Cybersecurity, and 4.5 recordkeeping requirements.

Statutory authority for this collection of information is contained in sections 1-4, 201-202, 254, 303(r), and 403 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 151-154, 201-202, 254, 303(r), and 403. Total Annual Burden: 121,690 hours. Total Annual Cost: No Cost. Needs and Uses: The information collected is designed to obtain information from applicants and service providers that will be used by the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) and/or the Universal Service Administrative Company to evaluate the applications and select participants to receive funding under the Schools and Libraries Cybersecurity Pilot Program (Cybersecurity Pilot Program), and make funding determinations and disburse funding in compliance with applicable federal laws for payments made through the Cybersecurity Pilot Program. The Commission started accepting applications to participate in the Cybersecurity Pilot Program after publication of its Cybersecurity Pilot Program Report and Order and notice of Office of Management and Budget approval of the Cybersecurity Pilot Program information collection in the Federal Register. This revision adds a third part to the Schools and Libraries Cybersecurity Pilot Program Application, FCC Form 484, which is necessary so that the Commission has sufficient information to evaluate whether the Cybersecurity Pilot Program performance goals and periodic data reporting requirements set forth in the Cybersecurity Pilot Program Report and Order are being met. It is also necessary to help assess the costs and benefits of using the limited universal service funds to support the cybersecurity needs of K-12 schools and libraries. Finally, it is necessary to evaluate the extent to which the Cybersecurity Pilot Program is meeting the statutory objectives specified in section 254(h) of the Communications Act, as amended.
