FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

[OMB 3060-0717; FRS 16282]


Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission

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 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 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 February 
3, 2020. 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 Cathy Williams, FCC, via email 
[email protected] and to [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the 
information collection, contact Cathy Williams at (202) 418-2918.

    Total Annual Burden: 205,023 hours.

    Needs and Uses: Pursuant to 47 CFR 64.703(a), Operator Service 
Providers (OSPs) are required to disclose, audibly and distinctly to 
the consumer, at no charge and before connecting any interstate call, 
how to obtain rate quotations, including any applicable surcharges. 47 
CFR 64.710 imposes similar requirements on OSPs to inmates at 
correctional institutions. 47 CFR 64.709 codifies the requirements for 
OSPs to file informational tariffs with the Commission. These rules 
help to ensure that consumers receive information necessary to 
determine what the charges associated with an OSP-assisted call will 
be, thereby enhancing informed consumer choice in the operator services 
marketplace.
