Communications Commission

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501-3520), the Federal Communication Commission (FCC or Commission) 
invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this 
opportunity to comment on the following information collections. 
Comments are requested concerning: Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the Commission, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; 
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on the 
respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology; and ways to further reduce the 
information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer 
than 25 employees.
    The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. No person 
shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection 
of information subject to the PRA that does not display a valid OMB 
control number.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before June 16, 
2014. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find 
it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice, 
you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Cathy Williams, FCC, via email 
[email protected] mailto:[email protected] and to [email protected]

    Needs and Uses: The rules adopted in the Open Internet and 
Broadband Industry Practices, Report and Order, GN Docket No. 09-191, 
WC Docket No. 07-52, FCC 10-201, require all providers of broadband 
Internet access service to publicly disclose accurate information 
regarding the network management practices, performance, and commercial 
terms of their broadband Internet access services sufficient for 
consumers to make informed choices regarding use of such services and 
for content, application, service, and device providers to develop, 
market, and maintain Internet offerings. The rules ensure transparency 
and continued Internet openness, while making clear that broadband 
providers can manage their networks effectively. The Commission 
anticipates that small entities may have less of a burden, and larger 
entities may have more of a burden than the average compliance burden.
