FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission Under Delegated Authority

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission invites the general 
public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment 
on the following information collection(s). 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

[[Page 32293]]

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 burden for 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 
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that does not display a valid OMB control 
number.

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before August 4, 2014. If you anticipate that you will 
be submitting PRA comments, but find it difficult to do so within the 
period of time allowed by this notice, you should advise the FCC 
contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Submit your PRA comments to Leslie F. Smith, Office of 
Managing Director (OMD), Federal Communications Commission (FCC), via 
the Internet at [email protected] and [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Leslie F. Smith, Office of Managing 
Director (OMD), Federal Communications Commission (FCC), (202) 418-
0217, or via the Internet at [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0704.
    Title: Sections 42.10, 42.11, 64.1900 and Section 254(g): Policies 
and Rules Concerning the Interstate, Interexchange Marketplace.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently-approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 700 respondents; 2,800 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: .50-2 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Annual reporting requirements, third party 
disclosure requirements and recordkeeping requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 
section 254(g) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
    Total Annual Burden: 2,450 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No cost.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission is not 
requesting that the respondents submit confidential information to the 
Commission. If the Commission requests respondents to submit 
information which respondents believe is confidential, respondents may 
request confidential treatment of such information under 47 CFR section 
0.459 of the Commission's rules.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this information 
collection as an extension (no change in reporting, third party 
disclosure requirements, and/or recordkeeping requirements) after this 
60-day comment period in order to obtain the full three year clearance 
from the OMB. The four information collection requirements under this 
OMB Control Number are information disclosure requirements, Internet 
posting requirements, recordkeeping requirements, and annual 
certification requirements. These requirements are necessary to provide 
consumers ready access to information concerning the rates, terms, and 
conditions governing the provision of interstate, domestic, 
interexchange services offered by nondominant interexchange carriers 
(IXCs) in a detariffed and increasingly competitive environment. The 
information collected under the information disclosure requirement and 
the Internet posting requirement must be disclosed to the public to 
ensure that consumers have access to the information they need to 
select a telecommunications carrier and to bring to the Commission's 
attention to possible violations of the Communications Act without a 
specific public disclosure requirement. The information collected under 
the recordkeeping and certification requirements will be used by the 
Commission to ensure that affected interexchange carriers fulfill their 
obligations under the Communications Act, as amended.

Federal Communications Commission.
