Statutory authority for this information collection are contained in 47 
U.S.C. 151, 154, 201-205, 218, 220 and 405 and 5 U.S.C. Sections 552 
and 553.
    Total Annual Burden: 4,500 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: N/A.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Information of a proprietary 
nature submitted to Database Services Management, Inc. (DSMI) will not 
be disclosed, pursuant to DSMI's policy. The Commission, however, is 
granted access to information pertinent to determining that RespOrgs 
are abiding by Commission rules. The Commission is not requesting that 
the respondents submit confidential information to the FCC. Respondents 
may, however, request confidential treatment for information they 
believe to be confidential under 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission's 
rules.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this information 
collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) after this 60 
day comment period in order to obtain the full three year clearance 
from them. The Commission is requesting an extension (no change in the 
reporting and/or third party disclosure requirements) of this 
information collection. There is no change to the estimated number of 
respondents/responses and annual burden hours. This information 
collection requires RespOrgs requesting that specific toll free numbers 
be placed in unavailable status to submit written requests, with 
appropriate documentation, to the toll free database administrator, 
Database Services Management, Inc. (DSMI). This requirement will hold 
those RespOrgs more accountable and will decrease abuses of lag time 
process. It will also prevent numbers from being held in an unavailable 
status without demonstrated reasons, and will make

more numbers available for subscribers who need and want them. If DSMI 
is uncertain whether a number should be placed in unavailable status, 
it should seek guidance from the Commission's Wireline Competition 
Bureau.
    Current industry guidelines already require that RespOrgs 
requesting to place a toll free number in unavailable status submit 
written requests to DSMI with appropriate documentation. This 
collection requirement simply codifies the existing industry 
guidelines. DSMI (and, if necessary the FCC), will continue to use the 
information collected to determine if a particular toll free number 
appropriately can be placed in ``unavailable'' status. This will 
prevent the fraudulent use of toll free numbers.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
