FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the 
Federal Communications Commission, Comments Requested

March 11, 2011.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden invites the general public 
and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the 
following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520. Comments are 
requested concerning: (a) 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; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; (c) ways 
to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information 
collected; (d) 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 (e) 
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 OMB control number. No person 
shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection 
of information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that does 
not display a currently valid OMB control number.

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before May 16, 2011. If you anticipate that you will be 
submitting PRA comments, but find it difficult to do so within the 
period of time allowed by this notice, you should advise the FCC

Commission via e-mail to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#0d5d5f4c4d6b6e6e236a627b"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="cc9c9e8d8caaafafe2aba3ba">[email protected]</span></a>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0715.
    Title: Telecommunications Carriers' 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 for-profit.
    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, one time, annual and biennial 
reporting 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), 154(j), 201-205, 208, 222, 303(r), and 403.
    Total Annual Burden: 350,704 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $3,000,000.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission is not 
requesting that respondents submit confidential information. Any 
respondent who submits information to the Commission, which the 
respondent believes is confidential, may request confidential treatment 
of such information under 47 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

have the necessary tools to investigate and enforce prohibitions on 
illegal access to customers records.
