FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

Information Collection Being Reviewed 

by the Federal Communications 

Commission for Extension Under 

Delegated Authority 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice and Request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort 

to reduce paperwork burdens and as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995, Public Law 104–13, the 

Federal Communications Commission 

invites the general public and other 

Federal agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on the 

following information collection(s). 

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 burden 

for 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 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that 

does not display a valid control number. 

DATES: Persons wishing to comment on 

this information collection should 

submit comments October 11, 2011. 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: Submit your PRA comments 

to Nicolas A. Fraser, Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB), via fax 

at 202–395–5167, or via the Internet at 

Nicholas_A._Fraser@omb.eop.gov, and 

to Judith-B.Herman@fcc.gov, Federal 

Communications Commission (FCC). To 

submit your comments by e-mail send 

them to: PRA@fcc.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

additional information about the 

information collection(s), contact Judith 

B. Herman at 202–418–0214. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control No.: 3060–0770. 

Title: Sections 1.774, 61.49, 61.55, 

61.58, 69.4, 69.707, 69.713 and 69.729, 

Price Cap Performance. 

Form No.: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit. 

Number of Respondents: 21 

respondents; 21 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 10 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirements. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this collection of 

information is contained in 47 U.S.C. 

sections 151, 154(i), 154(j), 201–205, 

303(r), and 403. 

Total Annual Burden: 210 hours. 

Annual Cost Burden: $17,115. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

No information of a confidential nature 

is requested. However, respondents may 

request materials or information 

submitted to the Commission to be 

withheld from public inspection under 

47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission’s rules. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission is 

seeking Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) approval for an extension 

of this information collection (no 

change in the reporting requirements). 

The Commission will submit this 

information collection after this 60-day 

comment period. The Commission is 

reporting an adjustment increase in 

annual costs. The annual filing fee 

increase from $775 to $815 for a total 

estimate of $17,115 in annual costs. 

The Commission permits price cap 

LECs to introduce new services on a 

streamlined basis, without prior 

approval. In August 1999, the 

Commission modified the rules to 

eliminate the public interest showing 

required by 47 CFR 69.4(g) and to 

eliminate the new services test 

requirement (except in the case of loopbased new services) required under 47 

CFR 69.49(f) and (g). These 

modifications eliminate delays that 

existed for the introduction of new 

services as well as encourage efficient 

investment and innovation. 

Section 61.49 also requires supporting 

information to be submitted with letters 

of transmittal for tariffs of carriers 

subject to price cap regulation. The 

other rule sections that were adopted in 

the Fifth Report and Order, FCC 99–206, 

that are subject to OMB review and 

approval are the following: 

Section 1.774, Pricing Flexibility, 

describes what a petitioner for pricing 

flexibility must provide for specific 

services pursuant to part 69, Subpart H, 

with respect to a metropolitan statistical 

area (MSA), as defined in section 

22.909(a), or the non-MSA parts of a 

study area, must show that the price cap 

LEC has met the relevant thresholds set 

forth in part 69, subpart H. 

Section 61.55, Contract-based tariffs 

shall include the terms of contract, 

including any renewal options; a brief 

description of each of the services 

provided under the contract; minimum 

volume commitments for each service; 

the contract price for each service or 

services at the volume levels committed 

to by the customers; a general 

description of any volume discounts 

built into the contract rate structure; and 

a general description of other 

classifications, practices, and 

regulations affecting the contract rate. 

Section 61.58, Notice requirements 

establish various time requirements for 

filing tariffs or amendments. 

Section 69.707, for MSAs a price cap 

LEC filing a petition for pricing 

flexibility in a MSA shall include data 

sufficient to support its petition, as set 

forth in Subpart H, Pricing Flexibility, 

disaggregated by MSA. A price cap LEC 

may request pricing flexibility for two or 

more MSAs in a single petition, 

provided that it submits supporting data 

disaggregated by MSA. 

Section 69.713(b)(1), Phase 1 Triggers, 

to obtain Phase 1 pricing flexibility, as 

specified in 47 CFR 69.727(a), for the 

services identified in paragraph (a) of 

this section, a price cap LEC must 

provide convincing evidence that, in the 

relevant areas as described in 47 CFR 

69.707, its unaffiliated competitors, in 

aggregate, offer service to at least 15

49476 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 154 / Wednesday, August 10, 2011 / Notices 

percent of the price cap LEC’s customer 

locations. For purposed of the showing 

required by paragraph (b)(1) of this 

section, the price cap LEC may not rely 

on service the competitors provide 

solely by reselling the price cap LEC’s 

services, or provide through unbundled 

network elements as defined by 47 CFR 

51.5, except the price cap LEC may rely 

on service the competitors provide 

through the use of the price cap LEC’s 

unbundled loops. 

Section 69.727 requires except for 

new services subject to paragraph (b) of 

this rule section, a price cap LEC may 

obtain pricing flexibility for a new 

service that has not been incorporated 

into a price cap basket by demonstrating 

in its pricing flexibility petition that the 

new service would be properly 

incorporated into one of the price cap 

baskets and service bands for which the 

price cap LEC seeks pricing flexibility. 

The information collected will be 

submitted to the Commission by an 

incumbent LEC for use in determining 

whether the rates proposed by an 

incumbent LEC offering a new loopbased switched access service are 

reasonable.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control No.: 3060–0204. 

Title: Section 90.20(a)(2)(v) and 

90.20(a)(2)(xi), Special Eligibility 

Showings for Authorizations in the 

Public Safety Pool. 

Form No.: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Individuals or 

households and business or other forprofit. 

Number of Respondents: 220 

respondents; 220 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 

.7045454 hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this collection of 

information is contained in 47 U.S.C. 

sections 154(i), 161, 303(g), 303(r) and 

332(c)(7). 

Total Annual Burden: 155 hours. 

Annual Cost Burden: N/A. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

There is no need for confidentiality. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission is 

seeking Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) approval for an extension 

of this information collection (no 

change in the reporting requirements). 

The Commission will submit this 

information collection after this 60 day 

comment period. The Commission has 

adjusted the total burden hours from 

151 to 155 because the hours per 

response for section 90.20(a)(2)(v) is 

now estimated at 15 minutes per 

response. Previously the estimate was 

three minutes. 

Section 90.20(a)(2)(v) provides that 

persons claiming eligibility in the 

Special Emergency Radio Service on the 

basis of being physically handicapped 

must present a physician’s statement 

indicating that they are handicapped. 

Submission of this information is 

necessary to ensure that frequencies 

reserved for licensing to handicapped 

individuals are not licensed to nonhandicapped persons. 

Section 90.20(a)(2)(xi) is necessary to 

determine if communications common 

carrier applicants requesting frequencies 

for use as standby facilities for 

communications related to safety of life 

and public property is necessary for 

such purposes. 

Specifically, Section 90.20(a)(2)(xi) 

states: ‘‘A communications common 

carrier operating communications 

circuits that normally carry essential 

communication of such nature that their 

disruption would endanger life or 

public property is eligible to hold 

authorizations for standby radio 

facilities for the transmission of 

messages only during periods when the 

normal circuits are inoperative due to 

circumstances beyond the control of the 

user. During such periods the radio 

facilities may be used to transmit any 

communication which would be carried 

by the regular circuit. Initial 

applications for authorization to operate 

a standby radio facility must include a 

statement describing radio 

communications facilities desired, the 

proposed method of operation, a 

description of the messages normally 

being carried, and an explanation of 

how their disruption will endanger life 

or public property.’’
