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 burdens, 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or the 
Commission) invites the general public and other Federal agencies to 
take this opportunity to comment on the following information 
collection. 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 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 Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) control number.

    An International Signaling Point Code (ISPC) is a unique, seven-
digit code synonymously used to identify the signaling network of each 
international carrier. The ISPC has a unique format that is used at the 
international level for signaling message routing and identification of 
signaling points. The Commission receives ISPC applications from 
international carriers on the electronic, Internet-based International 
Bureau Filing System (IBFS). After receipt of the ISPC application, the 
Commission assigns the ISPC code to each applicant (international 
carrier) free of charge on a first-come, first-served basis. The 
collection of this information is required to assign a unique 
identification code to each international carrier and to facilitate

communication among international carriers by their use of the ISPC 
code on the shared signaling network. The Commission informs the 
International Telecommunications Union (ITU) of its assignment of ISPCs 
to international carriers on an ongoing basis.
