Justification for Non Substantive Change Request

Federal Communications Commission

Explanation of Non-Substantive Changes to OMB Control Number: 3060-0806:

• FCC Forms 470 and 471

Purpose of this Submission: This submission is being made for proposed non-substantive change to an existing information collection pursuant to 44 U.S.C. § 3507. This submission seeks to make minor, non-substantive changes to two citations in the program certifications.

Background: On January 28, 2022, the Commission released a Report and Order (FCC 22-8) amending the E-Rate program rules to add “Tribal library” to the definition of “library” and to remove references to the 1996 version of the Library Services and Technology Act. Consistent with that Order, we seek to modify certifications for libraries in the FCC Forms 470 and 471 to remove references to the 1996 version of the Library Services and Technology Act. At the same time, we also seek to modify the certifications for schools in the FCC Forms 470 and 471 to update the citation.

Summary of Proposed Updates to the 3060-0806:

• We propose to modify the certifications on the FCC Forms 470 and 471 to remove “of 1996” to reflect the amendment to 47 CFR § 54.501(b)(1) to remove references to the 1996 version of the Library Services and Technology Act.

• We propose to modify the certifications on the FCC Forms 470 and 471 to update the citations to the definitions of elementary school and secondary school to remove the paragraph numbers.
