SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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.
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: 3060-0896.
Title: Broadcast Auction Form Exhibits.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.

responses.

participate in Commission auctions and to ensure that license winners
are entitled to receive the new entrant bidding credit, if applicable.
Exhibits regarding joint bidding agreements are designed to prevent
collusion. Submission of engineering exhibits for non-table services
enables the Commission to determine which applications are mutually
exclusive.

CG Docket No. 17-59.

Needs and Uses: On December 12, 2018, the Commission adopted rules
in FCC 18-177, Second Report and Order, published at 84 FR 11226, March
26, 2019. Specifically, the Commission concluded that the obligation to
provide permanent disconnect information will apply to all reporting
carriers as defined in the Commission's numbering rules, which include
wireless, wireline, and interconnected Voice over internet Protocol
providers that obtain numbers from the North American Numbering Plan
Administrator. As part of the Commission reporting requirements,
reporting carriers must provide, among other things, the most recent
date each North American Numbering Plan telephone number allocated or
ported to the reporting carrier was permanently disconnected. The
telephone number and date of permanent disconnection will allow
voluntary users of the database to determine whether a number has been
permanently disconnected prior to calling that number, thereby
protecting against unwanted calls to consumers and potential Telephone
Consumer Protection Act liability for callers. Reporting carriers and
voluntary users of the reassigned numbers database may also need to
provide contact information, including names, address, and telephone
number, to enable the database administrator to contact the reporting
carrier in case there are any issues with their submission.
The Commission has referred to the North American Numbering Council
the development of a technical requirements document for the reassigned
numbers database for review by the Commission. The technical
requirements document will contain a single, unified set of functional
and interface requirements for: technical interoperability and
operational standards; the user interface specifications and data
format for service providers to report to the Administrator; the user
interfaces and other means by which callers may submit queries,
including providing callers the abilities for high-volume and batch
processing or to submit individual queries; appropriate safeguards to
protect the privacy and security of subscribers, protect the database
from
[[Page 22036]]
unauthorized access, and ensure the security and integrity of the data;
and keeping records of service providers' reporting and accounting.
Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary, Office of the Secretary.
