Abstract: On December 21, 2010 the Commission adopted the Preserving the Open Internet and Broadband Industry Practices Report and Order ("Open Internet Order"). The Order will help ensure that continued Internet openness and provide greater certainty to consumers, innovators, investors, and broadband providers, including the flexibility providers need to manage their networks effectively. The Open Internet Order builds on the Internet Policy Statement the Commission adopted in 2005. It concludes that high-level protections to ensure the continued vitality of the Internet are needed in light of instances of broadband providers interfering with the Internet's openness, and the incentives providers may face to exert gatekeeper control over Internet content, applications, and services.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The Commission has re-evaluated the assessment of the burdens for this information collection and determined there has been an increase in the total annual number of respondents of +235, from 1,477 to 1,712 respondents; an increase in the total annual number of responses of +235, from 1,477 to 1,712 responses; a decrease in the total annual burden hours by -5,491, from 47,264 hours to 41,773 hours; and because the Commission is now calculating the total annual cost on annual basis, and not on a per year basis (annualized), the change in calculation methodology has resulted in an increase in the total annual cost of +$88,400, from $471,600 per year to $560,000 per year. With this submission, the Commission used more concrete and precise numbers based on the Internet Access Services Report. The decrease in the total annual burden hours is due to the decrease in the number of hours it will now take respondents to update disclosures each year. There are no program changes.
