The three forms serve the functions of
the Universal Service Schools and Libraries Support Mechanism, 47
U.S.C. Sec. 254 et seq. They are used at the point were services
provided pursuant to the program are implemented, or about to be
implemented, and are a necessary prerequisite to the distribution
of payments under the program. The forms ensure that Congressional
mandates regarding safer access to the Internet by minors and
adults are met.
The Commission is reporting an
adjustment to the total annual burden hours within this submission.
The adjustment is due to updated information on actual submissions
of the FCC Forms 479, 486, and 500, and the change in the number of
respondents. For the FCC Form 486: the number of respondents
increased by 616 from 20,000 to 20,616; the number of responses
decreased by 4,832 from 33,000 to 28,168; and the annual hour
burden decreased by 4,756 from 33,000 to 28,244. For the FCC Form
500: the number of respondents increased by 2,794 from 1,000 to
3,794; the number of responses increased by 3,535 from 2,900 to
6,435; and the annual burden hours increased by 3,550 from 2,900 to
6,450. Updating and Maintaining the Internet Safety Policy: the
number of respondents and the number of responses increased by 800
from 20,500 to 21,300, and the annual burden hours increased by 600
from 15,375 to 15,975. Overall, for the adjustments, the number of
respondents increased by 25,510 from 58,500 to 84,010, the number
of responses increased by 20,803 from 73,400 to 94,203, and the
total annual hourly burden increased by 10,044 from 68,275 to
78,319. There are no hourly burden changes to the FCC Form
479.
