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 February 
18, 2022. 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].

    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission is not 
requesting respondents to 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 pursuant to section 
0.459 of the Commission's rules, 47 CFR 0.459.
    The FCC has a system of records, FCC/OGC-5, ``Pending Civil 
Cases,'' to cover the collection, purpose(s), storage, safeguards, and 
disposal of the personally identifiable information (PII) that 
individuals may submit with their petitions for preemption that they 
file with the Commission.
    Needs and Uses: These provisions supplement the procedures for 
filing petitions seeking Commission preemption of state and local 
government regulation of telecommunications services. They require that 
such petitions, whether in the form of a petition for rulemaking or a 
petition for declaratory ruling, be served on all state and local 
governments. The actions for which are cited as a basis for requesting 
preemption. Thus, in accordance with these provisions, persons seeking 
preemption must serve their petitions not only on the state or local 
governments whose authority would be preempted, but also on other state 
or local governments whose actions are cited in the petition.

Federal Communications Commission.
