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, 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.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before July 24, 
2017. 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.

    Number of Respondents and Responses: 10 respondents; 10 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 33 hours.

any fact or information that may come to their knowledge in the course 
of performing the audit, except as directed by the Commission or a 
court.
    Needs and Uses: The audit program, consisting of audit procedures 
and guidelines, is developed to conduct random audits. The random 
audits are conducted on the carriers that use numbering resources in 
order to verify the accuracy of numbering data reported on FCC Form 
502, and to monitor compliance with FCC rules, orders and applicable 
industry guidelines. Failure of the audited carriers to respond to the 
audits can result in penalties. Based on the final audit report, 
evidence of potential violations may result in enforcement action.
