This submission is being made for
proposed non-substantive changes to an existing information
collection pursuant to 44 U.S.C. § 3507. This submission seeks to
make non-substantive changes to certain fields for the FCC Form 463
(the Invoice and Request for Disbursement Form for the Healthcare
Connect Fund) and the Telecom Program Invoice Form to add a
certification of compliance for service providers participating in
the Rural Health Care program and the Connected Care Pilot program
regarding rules adopted by the Commission in the Protecting Against
National Security Threats to the Communications Supply Chain
Through FCC Programs First Report and Order and the Second Report
and Order, (WC Docket No. 18-89, FCC 19-121 (First Report and
Order) and FCC 20-176 (Second Report and Order)). There are no
proposed changes for the FCC Forms 460, 461, 462, 465, 466, or 467.
The FCC Form 463 and the Telecom Program Invoice Form are contained
in an online database. This submission is being made for a proposed
non-substantive update to an existing information collection
pursuant to 44 U.S.C. § 3507. The Commission resubmits the COVID-19
Telehealth Program Post-Program Report Template (Template) to be
included as part of the existing information collection, which was
approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on October 7,
2020 and on December 29, 2020, respectively. This request is
correcting a typo on the first page of the Template to the OMB
Control Number. There are no changes to the burdens and no cost are
associated with this information collection. This submission is
being made for a proposed non-substantive update to an existing
information collection pursuant to 44 U.S.C. § 3507. The Commission
submits the COVID-19 Telehealth Program Post-Program Report
Template (Template) to be included as part of the existing
information collection, which was approved by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) on October 7, 2020. The FCC seeks
approval to revise the existing collection 3060-1271 to also
include information collection requirements for the Connected Care
Pilot Program established by the Commission in the Report and Order
entitled In the Matter of Promoting Telehealth for Low-Income
Consumers; COVID-19 Telehealth Program (WC Docket No. 18-213, WC
Docket No. 20-89, FCC 20-44). This collection is being revised to:
(1) extend the existing information collection requirements for the
COVID-19 Telehealth Program; (2) add new information collection
requirements for the Connected Care Pilot Program; and (3) extend
existing requirements applicable to both the COVID-19 Telehealth
Program and the Connected Care Pilot Program. This information
collection is necessary in order to facilitate the FCC’s and the
Universal Administrative Company’s administration of the Programs,
and to prevent waste, fraud, and abuse. The information will also
allow the FCC to evaluate the extent to which the Programs are
complying with the applicable rules and procedures for each
program.
