SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As part of 

its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork burdens, as required by the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), the FCC invited 

the general public and other Federal 

Agencies to take this opportunity to 

comment on the following information 

collection. 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 estimates; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information collected; and 

(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. 

Pursuant to the Small Business 

Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, Public 

Law 107–198, see 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(4), 

the FCC seeks specific comment on how 

it might ‘‘further reduce the information 

collection burden for small business 

concerns with fewer than 25 

employees.’’

of-return telephone companies, while 

ensuring that the Commission retains 

access to the information it needs to 

fulfill its regulatory duties. The 

Commission consolidated Class A and 

Class B accounts by eliminating the 

current classification of carriers, which 

divides incumbent LECS into two 

classes for accounting purposes based 

on annual revenues. Carriers subject to 

Part 32’s USOA are now only required 

to keep Class B accounts. 

Pursuant to the Part 32 Order, price 

cap carriers may elect to use generally 

accepted accounting principles (GAAP) 

for all regulatory accounting purposes if 

they: (1) Establish an ‘‘Implementation 

Rate Difference’’ (IRD) which is the 

difference between pole attachment 

rates calculated under Part 32 and under 

GAAP as of the last full year preceding 

the carrier’s initial opting out of Part 32 

accounting requirements; and (2) adjust 

their annually-computed GAAP-based 

pole attachment rates by the IRD for a 

period of 12 years after the election. 

Alternatively, price cap carriers may 

elect to use GAAP accounting for all 

purposes other than those associated 

with pole attachment rates and continue 

to use the Part 32 accounts and 

procedures applicable to pole 

attachment rates for up to 12 years. A 

price cap carrier may be required to 

submit pole attachment accounting data 

to the Commission for three years 

following the effective date of the rule 

permitting a price cap carrier to elect 

GAAP accounting. If a pole attacher 

informs the Commission of a suspected 

problem with pole attachment rates, the 

Commission will require the price cap 

carrier to file its pole attachment data 

for the state in question. This 

requirement may be extended for an 

additional three years, if necessary. 

The Commission reduced the 

accounting requirements for telephone 

companies with a continuing obligation 

to comply with Part 32 in a number of 

areas. Telephone companies may: (1) 

Carry an asset at its purchase price 

when it was acquired, even if its value 

has increased or declined when it goes 

into regulated service; (2) reprice an 

asset at market value after a merger or 

acquisition consistent with GAAP; (3) 

use GAAP principles to determine 

Allowance-for-Funds-Used-During 

Construction; and (4) employ the GAAP 

standard of materiality. Rate-of-return 

carriers receiving cost-based support 

must determine materiality consistent 

with the general materiality guidelines 

promulgated by the Auditing Standards 

Board. Price cap carriers with a 

continuing Part 32 accounting 

obligation must maintain continuing 

property records necessary to track 

substantial assets and investments in an 

accurate, auditable manner. The carriers 

must make such property information 

available to the Commission upon 

request. Carriers subject to Part 32 must 

continue to comply with the USOA’s 

depreciation procedures and its rules for 

cost of removal-and-salvage accounting. 

Pursuant to the October 24, 2018 

Rate-of-Return Business Data Services 

Report and Order, WC Docket No. 17– 

144, FCC 18–146, rate-of-return carriers 

currently receiving model-based or 

other fixed high-cost support may 

voluntarily elect to transition their 

business services offerings from rate-ofreturn to incentive regulation. Thus, 

electing carriers that choose to use 

GAAP instead of the Uniform System of 

Accounts are relieved of virtually all of 

the filing and recordkeeping 

requirements of the Uniform System of 

Accounts, with the sole exception of the 

same data provisioning requirements for 

the calculation of pole attachment rates 

as price cap carriers. 

OMB Control Number: 3060–1285. 

Title: Compliance with the Non-IP 

Call Authentication Solution Rules; 

Robocall Mitigation Database (RMD). 

Form Number: N/A. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 12,800 respondents; 12,800 

responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 0.5–6 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: 

Recordkeeping requirement and on 

occasion reporting requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Mandatory 

and required to obtain or retain benefits. 

Statutory authority for these collections 

are contained in sections 227b, 251(e), 

and 227(e) of the Communications Act 

of 1934. 

Total Annual Burden: 39,663 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: No Cost. 

Needs and Uses: The Pallone-Thune 

Telephone Robocall Abuse Criminal 

Enforcement and Deterrence (TRACED) 

Act directs the Commission to require, 

no later than 18 months from 

enactment, all voice service providers to 

implement STIR/SHAKEN caller ID 

authentication technology in the 

internet protocol (IP) portions of their 

networks and implement an effective 

caller ID authentication framework in 

the non-IP portions of their networks. 

Among other provisions, the TRACED 

Act also directs the Commission to 

create extension mechanisms for voice 

service providers. On September 29, 

2020, the Commission adopted its Call 

Authentication Trust Anchor Second 

Report and Order. See Call 

Authentication Trust Anchor, WC 

Docket No. 17–97, Second Report and 

Order, 36 FCC Rcd 1859 (adopted Sept. 

29, 2020). The Second Report and Order 

implemented section 4(b)(1)(B) of the 

TRACED Act, in part, by requiring a 

voice service provider maintain and be 

ready to provide the Commission upon 

request with documented proof that it is 

participating, either on its own or 

through a representative, including 

third party representatives, as a member 

of a working group, industry standards 

group, or consortium that is working to 

develop a non-internet Protocol caller 

identification authentication solution, 

or actively testing such a solution. The 

Second Report and Order also 

implemented the extension mechanisms 

in section 4(b)(5) by, in part, requiring 

voice service providers to certify in the 

Robocall Mitigation Database that they 

have either implemented STIR/ 

SHAKEN or a adopted a robocall 

mitigation program and describe that 

program in a filed plan. On May 19, 

2022, the Commission adopted similar 

obligations for gateway providers. See 

Advanced Methods to Target and 

Eliminate Unlawful Robocalls, Call 

Authentication Trust Anchor, CG 

Docket No. 17–59, WC Docket No. 17– 

97, Sixth Report and Order et al., FCC 

22–27 (adopted May 19, 2022). 

Specifically, like voice service 

providers, gateway providers were 

required to maintain and be ready to 

provide the Commission upon request 

with documented proof that it is 

participating, either on its own or 

through a representative, including 

third party representatives, as a member 

of a working group, industry standards 

group, or consortium that is working to 

develop a non-internet Protocol caller 

identification authentication solution, 

or actively testing such a solution. 

Gateway providers were also required to 

implement both STIR/SHAKEN on the 

IP portions of their networks as well as 

a robocall mitigation program. They 

must also certify to their 

implementation and describe their 

robocall mitigation program in the 

Robocall Mitigation Database. On March 

16, 2023, the Commission adopted an 

Order imposing largely the same 

obligations that applied to gateway 

providers on a new class of providers: 

non-gateway intermediate providers. 

See Call Authentication Trust Anchor, 

Sixth Report and Order and Further 

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, WC 

Docket No. 17–97, FCC 23–18 (adopted 

March 16, 2023). In that action, the 

Commission also required all voice 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 170 / Tuesday, September 5, 2023 / Notices 60681 

service providers to adopt a robocall 

mitigation program and file a 

description of that program in the 

Robocall Mitigation Database as well as 

requiring all classes of providers to file 

additional information in the Robocall 

Mitigation Database. On May 18, 2023, 

the Commission adopted an Order 

modifying some of these requirements.

al., WC Docket No. 17–97 et al., Seventh 

Report and Order et al., FCC 23–37
