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 burdens, 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501-3520), the Federal Communications 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 March 7, 
2016. 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 Nicole Ongele, FCC, via email 
[email protected] and to [email protected].

information collection, contact Nicole Ongele at (202) 418-2991.

    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for

information submitted to the Commission be withheld from public 
inspection under 47 CFR 0.459 of FCC rules.
    Needs and Uses: The rules and regulations contained in 47 CFR part 
1 Subpart J provide complaint and enforcement procedures to ensure that 
telecommunications carriers and cable system operators have 
nondiscriminatory access to utility poles, ducts, conduits, and rights-
of-way on rates, terms and conditions that are just and reasonable. 
They also provide complaint and enforcement procedures for incumbent 
local exchange carriers (as defined in 47 U.S.C. 251(h)) to ensure that 
the rates, terms, and conditions of their access to pole attachments 
are just and reasonable. The FCC will use the information collected 
under these rules to hear and resolve petitions for stay and complaints 
as mandated by Section 224 of the Communications Act of 1934, as 
amended. The information that is also filed is used to determine the 
merits of the petitions and complaints. Additionally, state 
certifications are used to make public notice of the states' authority 
to regulate rates, terms and conditions for pole attachments, and to 
determine the scope of the FCC's jurisdiction.
