Abstract:
President Obama is committed to expanding broadband technology across the country. To that end, the Administration is working with Congress, the Federal Communications Commission, and other parties to develop and advance economic and regulatory policies that foster broadband (high-speed Internet) deployment.
Emergency Justfication:
The inclusion of the five broadband questions to the Current Population Survey will allow NTIA to collect reliable data on broadband (also known as high-speed Internet) use by U.S. households. The need for comprehensive broadband data has become more pressing in recent months and has necessitated this request for expedited review. The Government Accountability Office and NTIA recently issued reports noting the lack of useful broadband data for policymakers, and Congress passed legislation the Broadband Data Improvement Act in 2008 and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in 2009 wholly or partly in response to such criticisms.
