FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
Information Collection Approved by the Office of Management and
Budget
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission (Commission) announces
that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has approved a new
information collection associated with the Commission's 833 Auction
Procedures Public Notice (FCC 19-75) (Public Notice), for a period of
six months pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number, and no person
is required to respond to a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid control number. Comments concerning the
accuracy of the burden estimates and any suggestions for reducing the
burden should be directed to the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section below.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Contact Nicole Ongele,
[email protected], (202) 418-2991.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The total annual reporting burdens and costs
for the respondents are as follows:
OMB Control Number: 3060-1264.
OMB Approval Date: September 9, 2019.
OMB Expiration Date: March 31, 2020.
Title: Application to Participate in a Toll Free Number Auction,
FCC Form 833.
Form Number: FCC Form 833.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities, Individuals or
households, Not-for-profit institutions, Federal Government, State,
Local or Tribal Governments.
Number of Respondents and Responses: 200 respondents; 200
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 1.5 hours.
Frequency of Response: On-occasion reporting requirements.
Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The
statutory authority for this information collection is contained in
sections 1, 4(i), 201(b) and 251(e)(1) of the Communications Act of
1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 151, 154(i), 201(b), 251(e)(1).
Total Annual Burden: 300 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No Cost.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Information collected on FCC
Form 833 is made available for public inspection, and the Commission is
not requesting that respondents submit confidential information as part
of the pre-auction application process. For individuals, the Privacy
Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a, is the statutory authority for confidentiality and
applies to this information collection. To the extent the information
submitted pursuant to this information collection is determined to be
confidential, it will be protected by the Commission. If a respondent
seeks to have certain information collected on FCC Form 833 withheld
from public inspection, the respondent may request confidential
treatment of such information pursuant to section 0.459 of the
Commission's rules. See 47 CFR 0.459.
Privacy Act: The Commission will determine if a Privacy Impact
Assessment is required.
Needs and Uses: In August 2019, the Commission adopted the 833
Auction Procedures Public Notice (FCC 19-75), which established
application and bidding procedures for the 833 Auction and required the
use of FCC Form 833 to apply to participate in the auction. The
Commission's rules and related requirements are designed to ensure that
the competitive bidding process for assigning toll free numbers is
limited to qualified applicants, deter possible abuse of the bidding
process, and enhance the use of competitive bidding to assign toll free
numbers in furtherance of the public interest. Applicants will use FCC
Form 833 to submit the required disclosures and certifications, and the
information collected on FCC Form 833 will then be reviewed to
determine if an applicant is qualified to bid in the 833 code toll free
number auction (833 Auction). The 833 Auction will not be able to occur
without the collection of information on FCC Form 833. Without the
information collected on FCC Form 833, a determination of whether the
applicant is qualified to bid in the 833 Auction cannot be made.
The Commission received emergency approval from OMB for the
information collection requirements contained in OMB Control Number
3060-1264 on September 9, 2019.
Federal Communications Commission.
