FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

[OMB 3060-0704; FRS 16530]


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 May 4, 
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].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the 
information collection, contact Nicole Ongele at (202) 418-2991.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0704.
    Title: Sections 42.10, 42.11, 64.1900 and Section 254(g): Policies 
and Rules Concerning the Interstate, Interexchange Marketplace.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently-approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 700 respondents; 2,800 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: .50-2 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Annual reporting requirements, third party 
disclosure requirements and recordkeeping requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 
section 254(g) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
    Total Annual Burden: 2,450 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No cost.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission is not 
requesting that the respondents submit confidential information to the 
Commission. If the Commission requests respondents to submit 
information which respondents believe is confidential, respondents may 
request confidential treatment of such information under 47 CFR 0.459 
of the Commission's rules.
    Needs and Uses: The four information collection requirements under 
this OMB Control Number are information disclosure requirements, 
internet posting requirements, recordkeeping requirements, and annual 
certification requirements. These requirements are necessary to provide 
consumers ready access to information concerning the rates, terms, and 
conditions governing the provision of interstate, domestic, 
interexchange services offered by nondominant interexchange carriers 
(IXCs) in a detariffed and increasingly competitive environment. The 
information collected under the information disclosure requirement and 
the internet posting requirement must be disclosed to the public to 
ensure that consumers have access to the information they need to 
select a telecommunications carrier and to bring to the Commission's 
attention to possible violations of the Communications Act without a 
specific public disclosure requirement. The information collected under 
the recordkeeping and certification requirements will be used by the 
Commission to ensure that affected interexchange carriers fulfill their 
obligations under the Communications Act, as amended.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary, Office of the Secretary.
