FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

[OMB 3060-0770, OMB 3060-0971; FR ID 118265]


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

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice, 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

[[Page 77109]]

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 
14, 2023. 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, (202) 418-2991.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0770.
    Title: Sections 61.49 and 69.4, Price Cap Performance Review for 
Local Exchange Carriers CC Docket 94-1, FCC 99-206 (New Services).
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 13 respondents; 13 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 10 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirements.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this collection of information is contained in 
47 U.S.C. 151, 154(i), 154(j), 201-205, 303(r), and 403.
    Total Annual Burden: 130 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $12,090.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: No information of a 
confidential nature is requested. However, respondents may request 
materials or information submitted to the Commission to be withheld 
from public inspection under 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission's rules.
    Needs and Uses: In the 1999 Fifth Report and Order and Further 
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (Pricing Flexibility Order), 64 FR 51280, 
the Commission permitted price cap local exchange carriers (LECs) to 
introduce new services on a streamlined basis, without prior approval 
or cost support requirements. The Commission eliminated the public 
interest showing required by 47 CFR 69.4(g), and, except in the case of 
new loop-based switched access services, eliminated the new services 
test required under 47 CFR 61.49(f) and (g).
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0971.
    Title: Request for Audits and State Commissions' Access to 
Numbering Resource Application Information (47 CFR Section 52.15).
    Form Number: N/A.

    Total Annual Burden: 448 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No cost.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Provider numbering resource 
applications and audits of provider compliance will be treated as 
confidential and will be exempt from public disclosure under 5 U.S.C. 
552(b)(4).
    Needs and Uses:
    There are two Paperwork Reduction Act related obligations under 
this OMB Control Number: 1. The North American Numbering Plan 
Administrator (NANPA), the Pooling Administrator, or a state commission 
may draft a request to the auditor stating the reason for the request, 
such as misleading or inaccurate data, and attach supporting 
documentation; and 2. Requests for copies of providers' applications 
for numbering resources may be made directly to providers. The 
information collected will be used by the FCC, state commissions, the 
NANPA and the Pooling Administrator to verify the validity and accuracy 
of such data and to assist state commissions in carrying out their 
numbering responsibilities, such as area code relief.
