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.

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.

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
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#fbaba9babb9d9898d59c948d"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="02525043426461612c656d74">[email protected]</span></a> and to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#432d2a202c2f266d2c2d24262f26032520206d242c35"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="b0ded9d3dfdcd59edfded7d5dcd5f0d6d3d39ed7dfc6">[email protected]</span></a>.
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.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for profit and State, Local or
Tribal government.
Number of Respondents and Responses: 35 respondents; 2,615
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.166 hours--3 hours.

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, 153, 154, 201-205, and 251.
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.
