Federal

[[Page 15222]]

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

    The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information

(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 June 14, 
2019. 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].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the

requirement. There is no change in the Commission's previous burden 
estimates. The Commission imposed recordkeeping requirements on 
independent local exchange carriers (LECs). Independent incumbent LECs 
wishing to offer international, interexchange services must comply with 
the requirements of the Competitive Carrier Fifth Report and Order, CC 
Docket Nos. 96-149 and 96-61. One of the requirements is that the 
independent incumbent LEC's international, interexchange affiliate (for 
facilities-based providers of international, interexchange services) 
must maintain books of account separate from such LEC's local exchange 
and other activities. See 47 CFR 64.1903 for the specific recordkeeping 
requirements.
    This recordkeeping requirement is used by the Commission to ensure 
that independent incumbent LECs that provide international, 
interexchange services do so in compliance with the Communications Act, 
as amended, and with Commission policies and regulations.

Federal Communications Commission.
