following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520. Comments are

utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; (c) ways 
to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information

[[Page 77872]]

    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The 
statutory authority for this information collection is found at 
sections 1, 4, 225, and 303(r) of the Communications Act of 1934, as 
amended (Act), 47 U.S.C. 151, 154, 225, and 303(r).
    Total Annual Burden: 3 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: None.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: An assurance of 
confidentiality is not offered because this information collection does 
not require the collection of personally identifiable information (PII) 
from individuals.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Needs and Uses: In document FCC 10-88, the Commission finds good 
cause to adopt an interim rule requiring the Chief Executive Officer, 
Chief Financial Officer, or other senior executive of a 
Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) provider submitting minutes to 
the Interstate TRS Fund (Fund) administrator for compensation on a 
monthly basis to certify, under penalty of perjury, that the submitted 
minutes were handled in compliance with section 225 of the Act and the 
Commission's rules and orders. Also in this document, the Commission 
requires such an executive to certify, under penalty of perjury, that 
cost and demand data submitted to the Fund administrator on an annual 
basis related to the determination of compensation rates or 
methodologies are true and correct. The explosive growth in the Fund in 
recent years and evidence of fraud against the Fund, as evidenced by 
recent indictments and guilty pleas from call center managers and 
employees admitting to defrauding the Fund of tens of millions of 
dollars, require the Commission to take immediate steps in preserving 
the Fund to ensure the continued availability of TRS. By requiring 
providers to be more accountable for their submissions, the Commission 
takes necessary, affirmative steps to preserve the TRS Fund.

Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary, Federal Communications Commission.
