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 of 1995 (PRA), 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 Office of Management and Budget 
(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 21, 
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,

Numbering Plan (NANP), which is currently being used by the United 
States and 19 other countries. Under the Communications Act of 1934, as 
amended, the Commission was given ``exclusive jurisdictions over those 
portions of the North American Numbering Plan that pertains to the 
United States.'' Pursuant to that authority, the Commission conducted a 
rulemaking in March 2000 that the Commission found that mandatory data 
collection is necessary to efficiently monitor and manage numbering 
use. The Commission received OMB approval for this requirement and the 
following:
    (1) Utilization/Forecast Report;
    (2) Application for initial numbering resource;
    (3) Application for growth numbering resources;
    (4) Recordkeeping requirement;
    (5) Notifications by state commissions;
    (6) Demonstration to state commission; and
    (7) Petitions for additional delegation of numbering authority.
    The data from this information collection is used by the FCC, state 
regulatory commissions, and the NANPA to monitor numbering resource 
utilization by all carriers using the resource and to project the dates 
of area code and NANP exhaust.
