Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. Statutory authority for these

217, 257, 301, 303, 316, 332, 403, 501, 503 of the Communications Act
of 1934, as amended, and section 706 of the Telecommunications Act of

Total Annual Burden: 73,869 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No Cost.
Needs and Uses: As part of this revision, the title of this
information collection will be updated to ``Transparency Rule
Disclosures, Safeguarding and Securing the Open internet, WC Docket No.
23-320, et al.'' The Transparency Rule modified in the Safeguarding and
Securing the internet Declaratory Ruling, Order, Report and Order, and
Order on Reconsideration, WC Docket No. 23-320 et al., FCC 24-52,
requires all providers of broadband internet access service (BIAS) to
publicly disclose accurate information regarding the network management
practices, performance, and commercial terms of their BIAS sufficient
for consumers to make informed choices regarding use of such services
and for content, application, service, and device providers to develop,
market, and maintain internet offerings. The rules ensure transparency
and continued internet openness, while making clear that BIAS providers
can manage their networks effectively. The Commission anticipates that
small entities may have less of a burden and larger entities may have
more of a burden than the average compliance burden. This is because
larger BIAS providers serve more customers, are more likely to serve
multiple geographic regions, are more likely to offer more service
tiers, and are not eligible to avail themselves of the temporary (with
the potential to become permanent) exemptions from the Transparency
Rule enhancements granted to BIAS providers that have 100,000 or fewer
broadband subscribers.
