    The FCC has a system of records, FCC/OGC-5, ``Pending Civil 
Cases,'' to cover the collection, purpose(s), storage, safeguards, and 
disposal of the personally identifiable information (PII) that 
individuals may submit with their petitions for preemption that they 
file with the Commission.
    Needs and Uses: These provisions supplement the procedures for 
filing petitions seeking Commission preemption of state and local 
government regulation of telecommunications services. They require that 
such petitions, whether in the form of a petition for rulemaking or a 
petition for declaratory ruling, be served on all state and local 
governments. The actions for which are cited as a basis for requesting 
preemption. Thus, in accordance with these provisions, persons seeking 
preemption must serve their petitions not only on the state or local 
governments whose authority would be preempted, but also on other state 
or local governments whose actions are cited in the petition.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
