Justification for non-substantive change request

Federal Communications Commission

Request for Non-Substantive Changes to OMB Control Number 3060-1269, “Enhanced Geo-Targeted Wireless Emergency Alerts”

The Federal Communications Commission (Commission) submits this non-substantive change request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) related to Information Collection, OMB Control Number 3060-1269, titled “Enhanced Geo-Targeted Wireless Emergency Alerts,” which was previously approved by OMB on February 5, 2020. As described in more detail in the enclosed materials, the Commission requests that OMB approve the following non-substantive changes to the information collection:

• Modifications to the “preliminary survey” and “live test survey” forms to make them more user friendly, by removing the “email address” field and changing the forms to be dynamic, so that certain questions are only presented if necessary depending on a respondent’s prior answers (in the previously approved forms, all questions were presented regardless of a respondent’s prior answers). Some clarifications to the survey question prompts have also been made to simplify the respondents’ user experience. Templates of the proposed modified forms are available at https://www.fcc.gov/files/preliminarysurvey0720pdf and https://www.fcc.gov/files/livetestsurvey0720pdf.
  
  

• Updates to the Supporting Statement, part A, to reflect that the relevant Commission rule became effective December 19, 2019 (rather than December 13, 2019), that the survey forms may be delivered to respondents by text message (in addition to e-mail) and that the Commission has completed the process of updated its System of Records Notice (SORN) to reflect the information collection.

The Commission believes that there will be no change in the estimated burden hours associated with this information collection. No costs are associated with this information collection.
