Abstract
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 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.

Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal
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 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
[[Page 57597]]
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 November
9, 2026. 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#560604171630353578313920"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="28787a69684e4b4b064f475e">[email protected]</span></a> and to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#147a7d777b78713a7b7a73717871547277773a737b62"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="d2bcbbb1bdbeb7fcbdbcb5b7beb792b4b1b1fcb5bda4">[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: 3060-0952.
Title: Demographic Information and Notifications, Order on
Reconsideration and Second FNPRM, CC Docket No. 98-147, and Fifth NPRM,
CC Docket No. 96-98.
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: 584 respondents; 1,168
responses.
Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirements and third
party disclosure requirement.
Estimated Time per Response: 2 hours.
Total Annual Burden: 2,336 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47
U.S.C. 151-154, 201, 202, 251-254, 256 and 271 of the Communications
Act of 1934, as amended.
Needs and Uses: The Commission adopted an Order on Reconsideration
(FCC 00-297) revising its collocation rules to further strengthen them
in response to a petition for partial reconsideration or clarification
of the Advanced Services First Report and Order (FCC 99-48). This
information collection is used by the Commission, state commissions,
and competitive carriers to facilitate the deployment of advanced
services and other telecommunications services in implementation of
section 251(c)(6) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. The
number of respondents, annual responses, and annual burden hours have
decreased due to a decrease in the current total number of active
incumbent local exchange carriers who may have to respond to this
information collection. This decrease in the number of respondents
accounts for a concomitant reduction in both total annual responses and
total annual burden hours. There are no program changes to this
information collection.
Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary, Office of the Secretary.
