Abstract
As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (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.

[[Page 83539]]
required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (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 PRA comments should be submitted on or before January
29, 2024. 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 Cathy Williams, FCC, via email to
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#8fdfddcecfe9ececa1e8e0f9"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="ebbbb9aaab8d8888c58c849d">[email protected]</span></a> and to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#b5f6d4c1ddcc9be2dcd9d9dcd4d8c6f5d3d6d69bd2dac3"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="9bd8faeff3e2b5ccf2f7f7f2faf6e8dbfdf8f8b5fcf4ed">[email protected]</span></a>.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060-1255.
Title: Rules and Policies Regarding Calling Number Identification
Service--Caller ID, CC Docket No. 91-281.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities.
Number of Respondents and Responses: 46,291 respondents; 1,705
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: .083 hours (5 minutes).
Frequency of Response: Monthly and on-going reporting requirements.
Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefit. The
statutory authority for the information collection requirements is
found at section 201(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,
47 U.S.C. 201(b), and section 222, 47 U.S.C. 222. The Commission's
implementing rules are codified at 47 CFR 64.1600-01.
Total Annual Burden: 142 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Needs and Uses: The Commission amended rules requiring that
carriers honor privacy requests to state that Sec. 64.1601(b) of the
Commission's rules shall not apply when calling party number (CPN)
delivery is made in connection with a threatening call. Upon report of
such a threatening call by law enforcement on behalf of the threatened
party, the carrier will provide any CPN of the calling party to law
enforcement and, as directed by law enforcement, to security personnel
for the called party for the purpose of identifying the party
responsible for the threatening call. Carriers now have a recordkeeping
requirement in order to quickly provide law enforcement with
information relating to threatening calls.
The Commission also amended rules to allow non-public emergency
services to receive the CPN of all incoming calls from blocked numbers
requesting assistance. The Commission believes amending its rules to
allow non-public emergency services access to blocked Caller ID
promotes the public interest by ensuring timely provision of emergency
services without undermining any countervailing privacy interests.
Carriers now have a recordkeeping requirement in order to provide
emergency serve providers with the information they need to assist
callers.

Secretary, Office of the Secretary.
