    Needs and Uses: The Safe Connections Act of 2022 (SCA) obligates

those persons in their care) from a shared mobile service contract with 
an abuser within two business days of a request. To implement the line 
separation process, the Commission establishes this collection, which 
requires covered providers to notify consumers about the availability 
of the line separation process and requires survivors to submit certain 
information to covered providers to request a line separation.
