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 Commission 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As part of its continuing effort to reduce 
paperwork burdens, and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) 
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), 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

    OMB Control Number: 3060-XXXX.
    Title: Toll Free Number Auctions.
    Form Number: FCC-5633.
    Type of Review: New information collection.
    Respondents: Individuals or Households, Business or other for-
profit, Not-for-profit Institutions, Farms and/or Federal, State, Local 
and/or Tribal government agencies.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 1,220 respondents; 1,220 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.084 hours (5 minutes)--0.166 hours 
(10 minutes).
    Frequency of Response: On occasion and one-time reporting 
requirements.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 
U.S.C. 251(e)(1).
    Total Annual Burden: 105 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No Cost.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: The Commission is preparing to 
conduct a Privacy Act Impact Assessment (PIA).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission is not 
requesting that respondents for this information collection (LOA and 
Secondary Market) submit confidential information to the FCC. For 
individuals, the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a, is the statutory authority 
for confidentiality and it applies to this information collection. 
Respondents may, however, request confidential treatment for 
information they believe to be confidential under 47 CFR 0.459 of the 
Commission's rules.
    Needs and Uses: On September 27, 2018, the Commission released a 
Report and Order in WC Docket No. 17-192, FCC 18-137 (Report and 
Order). In the Report and Order, the Commission established competitive 
bidding as a toll free number assignment method, and called for an 
auction for select numbers in the toll free code 833 as an experiment 
to test this method. To verify the relationship between the responsible 
organization (RespOrg) and the potential subscriber, a Letter of 
Authorization (LOA) is required during the bidding process. 
Additionally, a key component to the effectiveness of the auction is 
the adoption of a post-auction secondary market (Secondary Market) for 
the sale of the rights to use 833 code toll free numbers. Collecting 
data on Secondary Market transactions will allow the Commission to 
evaluate the entire experimental auction process and determine the 
potential use of competitive bidding in future toll free number 
assignments.
