FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

[OMB 3060-0975; FR ID 72983]


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), 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 collections. 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 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.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted on or before April 29, 
2022. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments but find 
it difficult to do so within the time period allowed by this notice, 
you should advise the contacts 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB Control Number: 3060-0975.
    Title: Sections 68.105 and 1.4000, Promotion of Competitive 
Networks in Local Telecommunications Markets Multiple Tenant 
Environments (MTEs).
    Form Number: Not applicable.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities, not-for-profit 
institutions, and State, local, or Tribal governments.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 5,022 respondents; 217,658 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.5 hour--10 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and third-
party disclosure requirement.

Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 
U.S.C. 151 and the Telecommunications Act of 1996, Public Law 104-104.
    Total Annual Burden: 144,217 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No cost.
    Needs and Uses: This information facilitates efficient interaction 
between premises owners and local exchange carriers (LECs) regarding 
the placement of the demarcation point, which marks the end of wiring 
under control of the LEC and the beginning of wiring under the control 
of the premises owner or subscriber. The demarcation point is a 
critical point of interconnection where competitive LECs can gain 
access to the inside wiring of the building to provide service to 
customers in the building. This collection also helps ensure that fixed 
wireless antennas covered by the OTARD rule comply with the 
Commission's limits on radiofrequency exposure and provides the 
Commission with information on the state of the market. In short, this 
collection helps foster competition in local telecommunications markets 
by ensuring that competing telecommunications providers can provide 
services to customers in multiple tenant environments.

Federal Communications Commission.
