Justification for Non-Substantive Change Request

Federal Communications Commission

Explanation of Non-Substantive Changes to OMB Control Number 3060-1265:

• Clarification of the respondents covered by this information collection.

Purpose of this Submission: This submission is being made for a proposed non-substantive change to an existing information collection pursuant to 44 U.S.C. § 3507. This submission seeks to clarify and make explicit that the requirements associated with this information collection apply to certain carriers.

Summary of Proposed Change: This information collection’s requirements apply to eligible telecommunications carriers receiving high-cost universal service support to provide broadband service to fixed locations. This group of carriers includes recipients of Rural Digital Opportunity Fund support, although the supporting statement does not currently name those carriers explicitly. In this non-substantive change, we clarify that the existing requirements apply to recipients of Rural Digital Opportunity Fund support.
