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 October 1, 
2018. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find

(FCC or Commission) invites the general public and other Federal 
agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the following

Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47

Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission is not 
requesting respondents to submit confidential information to the FCC. 
If the applicants wish to submit information which they believe is 
confidential, they may request confidential treatment of such 
information under 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission's rules.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission asked whether physical collocation 
in remote terminals presents technical or security concerns, and if so, 
whether these concerns warrant modification of its collocation rules. 
The Commission asked whether incumbent LECs should be required to 
provide requesting carriers with demographic and other information 
regarding particular remote terminals similar to the information 
available regarding incumbent LEC central offices. Requesting carriers 
use demographic and other information obtained from incumbent LECs to 
determine whether they wish to collocate at particular remote 
terminals. This proposed information collection in the Second Further 
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, FCC 98-147, will be used by the 
Commission, state commissions, and competitive carriers to facilitate 
the deployment of advanced services and other telecommunications 
services in implementation of section 251(c)(6) of the Communications 
Act of 1934, as amended. The number of respondents, annual responses, 
and annual burden has not changed.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary, Office of the Secretary.
