SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0734. 

Title: Sections 53.209, 53.211, and 

53.213, Accounting Safeguards and 

Sections 260 and 271–276 of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as

Form Number: N/A.

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

and biennial reporting requirements, 

third party disclosure requirement, and 

recordkeeping requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this information collection 

is contained in 47 U.S.C. sections 154(i), 

154(j), 201–205, 218, 220, 260, 271–276, 

303(r), and 403. 

Total Annual Burden: 72,495 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $1,500,000. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

The Commission is not requesting that 

the respondent submit confidential 

information to the FCC. Respondents 

may, however, request confidential 

treatment of such information they 

believe to be confidential under 47 CFR 

0.459 of the Commission’s rules. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this expiring information 

collection to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) after this comment 

period to obtain the full, three year 

clearance from them. The Commission 

is requesting OMB approval for an 

extension (there is no change in the 

reporting, recordkeeping and/or third 

party disclosure requirements). There is 

no change in the Commission’s burden 

estimates. 

A Bell Operating Company (BOC) may 

choose from among three regulatory 

regimes in its provision of in-region, 

interstate, interLATA (Local Access and 

Transport Area) telecommunications 

services. One of these regimes is the 

regime set forth in section 272 of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended and the Commission’s 

implementing rules, 47 CFR 272. Under 

this regime, a BOC and its section 272 

affiliate may not jointly own 

transmission and switching equipment. 

The separate section 272 affiliate must 

maintain separate books of account and 

have separate officers and directors. The 

separate section 272 affiliate may not 

obtain credit under arrangements that 

would permit the creditor to look to the 

assets of the BOC. The section 272 

affiliate must conduct all transactions 

with the BOC on an arm’s length basis, 

pursuant to the Commission’s affiliate 

transaction rules, with the terms and 

conditions of such transactions reduced 

to writing and available for pubic 

inspection on the Internet. Section 

272(d) states that companies required to 

maintain a separate affiliate ‘‘shall 

obtain and pay for a Federal/State audit 

every two years conducted by an 

independent auditor to determine 

whether such company has complied 

with this section and the regulations 

promulgated under this section, and 

particularly whether such company has 

complied with the separate accounting 

requirements under section 272(b).’’ 

These information collection 

requirements are intended to prevent 

discrimination, cost misallocation and 

other anti-competitive conduct by the 

BOCs.

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 52 / Thursday, March 17, 2011 / Notices 14665 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this information collection 

is contained in 47 U.S.C. sections 

151,154(i), 301, 303, 332 and 337. 

Total Annual Burden: 500 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: N/A. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

In general, there is no need for 

confidentiality. However, petitioners 

may request confidential treatment of 

their information pursuant to 47 CFR 

0.459 of the Commission’s rules. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

adopted a Third Report and Order, PS 

Docket No. 06–229, FCC 11–6 that 

requires OMB approval for a new 

information collection that requires 

public safety broadband networks to 

employ the Long Term Evolution (LTE) 

broadband standard, specifically at least 

3GPP Standard E–UTRA Release 8 and 

associated Evolved Packet Core (EPC). 

The Third Report and Order further 

requires that these networks support 

certain LTE interfaces. These 

requirements were designed to ensure 

that networks operated in this spectrum 

band are interoperable with one 

another. 

The Third Report and Order also 

requires each operator of a 700 MHz 

public safety broadband network to 

submit a certification to the 

Commission’s Public Safety and 

Homeland Security Bureau (Bureau), 

prior to network deployment, that its 

network will support the required LTE 

interfaces. This requirement will enable 

the Bureau to monitor network 

deployment and ensure that networks 

are supporting the interfaces necessary 

to achieve interoperability. 

The Commission is seeking OMB 

approval for this new information 

collection which requires operators of 

public safety broadband networks to 

submit a certification to the 

Commission. 

Accurate maintenance of this data is 

vital in developing a regulatory 

framework for this network. Since such 

a network is vital for public safety and 

homeland security, its proper operation 

must be assured.

Use of Customer Proprietary Network 

Information (CPNI) and Other Customer 

Information, CC Docket No. 96–115. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 6,017 respondents; 

137,256,175 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: .002 

hours–50 hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion,

requirements, recordkeeping 

requirement, and third party disclosure 

requirements. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this information collection 

is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151, 154(i),

which the respondent believes is

CFR 0.459 of the Commission’s rules. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this expiring information 

collection after this comment period to 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) to obtain the three year clearance 

from them. There is no change in the 

number of respondents, burden hours 

and annual costs. The number of 

responses increased by 50 due to 

recalculations of the various estimates 

in item 12 of the supporting statement. 

There is no change to the reporting, 

recordkeeping and/or third party 

disclosure requirements. 

This information collection 

implements the statutory obligations of 

section 222 of the Communications Act 

of 1934, as amended. These regulations 

impose safeguards to protect customers’ 

CPNI against unauthorized access and 

disclosure. In March 2007, the 

Commission adopted rules, which 

focused on the efforts of 

communications service providers to 

prevent pretexting. These rules require 

providers of communications services to 

adopt additional privacy safeguards 

that, the Commission believes, will 

sharply limit pretexters’ ability to obtain 

unauthorized access to the type of 

personal customer information from 

carriers that the Commission regulates. 

In addition, the Commission’s rules 

help ensure that law enforcement will
