Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission Under Delegated Authority

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 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 FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of 
information unless it displays a currently valid 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 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before March 30, 
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 Nicole Ongele, FCC, via email 
[email protected] and to [email protected].

information collection, contact Nicole Ongele at (202) 418-2991.

Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in the

Section 31001.
    Total Annual Burden: 919 hours.
    Total Annual Costs: No Cost.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: Yes. The Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) 
covering the PII in the CORES information system is being updated. Upon 
completion it will be posted at: https://www.fcc.gov/general/privacy-act-information#pia.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The FCC is not requesting 
that respondents submit confidential information to the Commission. If 
the FCC requests that respondents submit information which respondents 
believe is confidential, respondents may request confidential treatment 
of such information pursuant to Section 0.459 of the FCC's rules, 47 
CFR 0.459. The FCC has a system of records, FCC/OMD-25, Financial 
Operations Information System (FOIS), to cover the collection, 
purpose(s), storage, safeguards, and disposal of the personally 
identifiable information (PII) that individual respondents may submit 
on FCC Form 161, which is posted at: https://www.fcc.gov/general/privacy-act-information#systems.
    Needs and Uses: After respondents have registered in CORES and have 
been issued a FCC Registration Number (FRN), they may use FCC Form 161 
to update and/or change their contact information, including name, 
address, telephone number, email address(es), fax number, contact 
representative, contact representative's address, telephone number, 
email address, and/or fax number. Respondents may also update their 
registration information in CORES on-line at https://apps.fcc.gov/cores. The Commission uses this information to collect or report on any 
delinquent debt arising from the respondent's business dealings with 
the FCC, including both ``feeable'' and ``nonfeeable'' services; and to 
ensure that registrants (respondents) receive any refunds due. Use of 
the CORES System is also a means of ensuring that the Commission 
operates in compliance with the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 
1996.

Federal Communications Commission.
