Abstract: President Bush has established a national goal of universal, affordable broadband access for all Americans by 2007. To that end, the Administration is working with Congress, the Federal Communications Commission, and other parties to develop and advance economic and regulatory policies that foster broadband (high-speed Internet) deployment.

Emergency Justfication: The national goal set by President Bush has led to the urgency of collecting current information on broadband subscription and usage. NTIA proposes to use the Census Bureau's October 2007 Current Populater Survey to collect this information. In order to do so, expedited review is needed by September 14, 2007.
