Information Collections Being Submitted for Review and Approval 
to Office of Management and Budget

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
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

business concerns with fewer than 25 employees.'' The Commission 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 and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be submitted on or before June 2, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As part of its continuing effort to reduce 
paperwork burdens, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), the FCC invited the general public and 
other Federal Agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the 
following information collection. Comments are requested concerning: 
(a) 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; (b) the accuracy 
of the Commission's burden estimates; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d) 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. Pursuant to the Small Business 
Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, Public Law 107-198, see 44 U.S.C. 
3506(c)(4), the FCC seeks specific comment on how it might ``further 
reduce the information collection burden for small business concerns 
with fewer than 25 employees.''

    OMB Control Number: 3060-XXXX.
    Title: Freedom of Information/Privacy Act Request.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: New information collection.
    Respondents: Individuals or Households, Business or other for-
profit, and Not-for-profit institutions, Federal Government, State, 
Local or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 770 respondents; 770 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.08 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Voluntary. The statutory authority for this 
collection of information is contained in 5 U.S.C 552 and 552a.
    Total Annual Burden: 62 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $5,124.00.
    Needs and Uses: The online form is used to collect information 
necessary to process a proper FOIA request relating to a subject matter 
provided by the requester. Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552, 
details what makes a proper FOIA request. A proper request must 
include: (1) a reasonable description of the record and (2) is made in 
accordance with published agency rules stating time, place, fees (if 
any) and procedures to be followed.
    Respondents can request records at any time. The request must 
describe each requested record in sufficient detail to enable the FCC 
staff to locate the record. The online form is used to collect 
requester's information (address, contact information, etc.) and a 
detailed description of the records sought. The FOIA requester is asked 
to provide information that would assist the FCC in locating responsive 
records (if they exist). This information is essential to the accurate 
search and retrieval of records responsive to FOIA/PA requests. 
Additionally, the requester may include information, if applicable, 
about fee categories, fee waivers, and expedited processing.
    This form will enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and minimize the burden of the collection 
of information on those responding.

    Total Annual Burden: 60,576 hours.

    Needs and Uses: The Commission has developed standardized Tariff 
Review Plans (TRPs) that set forth the summary material that incumbent 
LECs (ILECs) file to support revisions to the rates in their interstate 
access service tariffs. The TRPs display basic data on rate development 
in a consistent manner, thereby facilitating review of the ILEC rate 
revisions by the Commission and interested parties. The TRPs have 
served this purpose effectively in past years.

Federal Communications Commission.
