AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Final rule; announcement of effective date.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

of an information collection associated with a rule contained in the
Commission's Call Authentication Trust Anchor, Second Report and Order
(Order). This document is consistent with the Commission's Call
Authentication Trust Anchor, Second Report and Order (Order) which
stated that the Commission would publish a document in the Federal
Register announcing the effective date of that rule.
DATES: The amendment to 47 CFR 64.6306(e) (instruction 11), published

Competition Bureau at (202) 418-7433 or by email at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 4, 2021, the Commission announced
OMB approval of Sec. 64.6306(e) in a Federal Register publication, at
86 FR 29952. This document now announces the effective date of Sec.
64.6306(e). In the Order and the text of Sec. 64.6306(e), the
Commission directed the Wireline Competition Bureau to set the
compliance date for this rule. On September 3, 2021, the Bureau
released a Public Notice, DA 21-1103, setting the date by which voice
service providers granted an exemption from the Commission's caller ID
authentication rule must file implementation verification
certifications and associated supporting statements. Voice service
providers must file all certifications and associated supporting
statements electronically in WC Docket No. 20-68, Exemption from Caller
ID Authentication Requirements, in ECFS, no later than October 4, 2021.
We therefore modify the text of Sec. 64.6306(e), previously published
at 85 FR 73360, to incorporate this compliance date announced by the
Bureau.

caused thereby, please contact Nicole Ongele, Federal Communications
Commission, Room 3.310, 45 L Street NE, Washington, DC 20002. Please

Synopsis
As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
3507), the FCC is notifying the public that it received final OMB
approval on May 13, 2021, for the information collection requirements
contained in the modifications to the Commission's rules in 47 CFR part
64 and modifying the language of Sec. 64.6306(e) to conform to the
compliance date adopted by the Wireline Competition Bureau in DA 21-
1103.
Under 5 CFR part 1320, an agency may not conduct or sponsor a
collection of information unless it displays a current, valid OMB
Control Number.
No person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply
with a collection of information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act
that does not display a current, valid OMB Control Number. The OMB
Control Number is 3060-1285.
The foregoing is required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
Public Law 104-13, October 1, 1995, and 44 U.S.C. 3507.
The total annual reporting burdens and costs for the respondents
are as follows:
OMB Control Number: 3060-1285.
OMB Approval Date: May 13, 2021.
OMB Expiration Date: May 31, 2024.
[[Page 58040]]
Title: Compliance with the Non-IP Call Authentication Solution
Rules; Robocall Mitigation Database; Certification to Verify Exemption
from Caller ID Authentication Implementation Mandate.
Form Number: N/A.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities.
Number of Respondents and Responses: 6,535 respondents; 6,535
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: .5 hours-3 hours.
Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping requirement and on-occasion
reporting requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Mandatory and required to obtain or retain
benefits. The statutory authority for this information collection is
contained in sections 227(b), 227(e) and 251(e) of the Communications
Act of 1934.
Total Annual Burden: 15,520 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No Cost.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission will consider
the potential confidentiality of any information submitted,
particularly where public release of such information could raise
security concerns (e.g., granular location information). Respondents
may request materials or information submitted to the Commission or to
the Administrator be withheld from public inspection under 47 CFR 0.459
of the Commission's rules.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
Needs and Uses: On October 1, 2020, the Commission released the
Order, FCC 20-136, published at 85 FR 73360, November 17, 2020,
adopting final rules--containing information collection requirements--
designed to promote caller ID authentication technology. The rules
implement the Pallone-Thune Telephone Robocall Abuse Criminal
Enforcement and Deterrence Act (TRACED Act), promoting the deployment
of caller ID authentication technology, and combatting the practice of
illegal caller ID spoofing. In doing so, the Order adopts rules
governing intermediate providers and caller ID authentication in non-IP
networks, implements the exceptions and extensions established by the
TRACED Act and prohibits line-item charges for caller ID
authentication.
