The Commission is submitting this
revised information collection to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) to modify and extend the information collection
requirements that were included in the November 2016 Paperwork
Reduction Act submission to OMB control number 3060-1167.
This is a revised collection of
information that includes both adjustments and program changes.
This information collection was modified in 2016 as a result of the
2015 Open Internet Order that reclassified BIAS as a
telecommunications service. In 2017, the Commission reinstated the
information service classification of BIAS. This information
collection has been modified to reflect that reversal, resulting in
decreases in the estimates of respondents, responses, and hours.
Therefore, the Commission makes the following program changes: (a)
the total number of annual respondents had decreased by -1,000,
from 4,541 respondents to 3,541 respondents; (b) the total number
of annual responses has decreased by -12,000, from 54,064 to 42,064
annual number of responses; (c) the total number of annual burden
hours has decreased by -34,500, from 155,419 to 120,919 total
annual burden hours. Also, the Commission makes the following
adjustments: (a) the total number of annual responses has increased
by +42, from 42,064 to 42,106 responses; (b) the total number of
annual burden hours has increased by +80, from 120,919 to 120,999
annual burden hours; and (c) the total annual cost has increased by
+$290, from $17,510 to $17,800 annual cost.
