Abstract
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.

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
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#86d6d4c7c6e0e5e5a8e1e9f0"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="84d4d6c5c4e2e7e7aae3ebf2">[email protected]</span></a> and to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#a7e4c6d3cfde89f0cecbcbcec6cad4e7c1c4c489c0c8d1"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="296a485d4150077e4045454048445a694f4a4a074e465f">[email protected]</span></a>.
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.
Obligation To Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
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.
