SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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:

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

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: 3060-1307.
Title: Performance Evaluation of Numbering Administration
Vendor(s).
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently information collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities, Not-for-profit
entities, and State, Local and Tribal governments.
Number of Respondents and Responses: 6,237 respondents and 6,237
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.25 hours.
Frequency of Response: Annual reporting requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Voluntary. Statutory authority for this
information is contained in 47 U.S.C. 251(e)(1).
Total Annual Burden: 1,561 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Needs and Uses: The Commission is requesting Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) approval this revised information collection. This
collection of information is an annual performance satisfaction survey
of its vendor(s) acting as administrators for various telephone number
management functions. These functions may be performed by one or
multiple vendors under one or multiple contracts. The vendor(s) act
pursuant to their contract(s) with the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) and the FCC's numbering rules. See 47 CFR 52.1 et seq.
The survey will be designed and administered by the Numbering
Administration Oversight Working Group (NAOWG) of the North American
Numbering Council (NANC). The NANC is a Federal Advisory Committee
established under the Federal Advisory Committee Act. The NANC advises
the FCC and makes recommendations, reached through consensus, that
foster efficient and impartial number administration. The NANC is
composed of representatives of telecommunications carriers, regulators,
cable providers, Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) providers,
industry associations, vendors, and consumer advocates. Working groups,
including the NAOWG, made up of industry experts, have been established
by the NANC to assist in its efforts. The NANC charter can be found at
<a href="https://www.fcc.gov/files/charter-north-american-numbering-council">https://www.fcc.gov/files/charter-north-american-numbering-council</a>.
The relevant contract(s) require that the Commission and/or its
designee shall develop and conduct a performance survey for each
administrator. The results of this consumer satisfaction survey will
provide the FCC with indicators on how well the vendor(s) are acting as
the North American Numbering Program Administrator (NANPA), Pooling
Administrator (PA), Routing Number Administrator (RNA) and Reassigned
Numbering Database Administrator (RNDA) is meeting its contractual
obligations and accomplishing its mission as the NANPA/PA/RNA/RNDA.
