Abstract:
This submission is being made to OMB for a non-substantive change request to an existing information collection pursuant to 44 U.S.C. ยง 3507. This submission seeks to modify: The FCC Forms 470 and 471, which are contained in an online database. Summary of Proposed Updates to the FCC Forms 470 and 471: (1) Removal of Voice Services from Form: The 2014 E-rate Order, Modernizing the E-rate Program for Schools and Libraries, WC Docket No. 13-184, Order, 29 FCC Rcd 8870 (2014), began a phasedown of E-rate support for voice services beginning in funding year 2015. When the phasedown is complete in funding year 2019, voice services will no longer be eligible for E-rate support. Accordingly, options for selecting voice services will no longer be available on the online FCC Forms 470 or 471 commencing July 1, 2018. (2) Online Portal Field Descriptions: We propose to update the field descriptions to note that voice services will no longer be available in the online forms effective July 1, 2018. (3) There is a slight decrease in the burden hours due to voice services no longer being available in the online forms. There are no costs associated with this collection. In 1997 the Commission adopted rules providing support for the Universal Service Schools and Libraries Support Mechanism (E-rate Program). FCC Forms 470 and 471 are required to describe the services requested and ordered by schools and libraries under the program. Please see the non-substantive change request justification for an explanation of this submission to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
