Commission. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort

Communications Commission (FCC or 

the Commission) invites the general

Ongele, (202) 418–2991. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FCC

person shall be subject to any penalty 

for failing to comply with a collection 

of information subject to the PRA that 

does not display a valid Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) control 

number. 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0715. 

Title: Telecommunications Carriers’ 

Use of Customer Proprietary Network 

Information and Other Customer 

Information. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities, and State, Local, or Tribal 

government. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 2,800 respondents; 

94,434,733 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: .002– 

50 hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion, 

annual, and one-time reporting 

requirements; recordkeeping; and third 

party disclosure requirements. 

Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. 

Statutory authority for these collections 

are contained in Section 222 of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended, 47 U.S.C. 222. 

Total Annual Burden: 232,691 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $4,000,000. 

Needs and Uses: Section 222 of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended, 47 U.S.C. 222, establishes the 

duty of telecommunications carriers to 

protect the confidentiality of its 

customers’ proprietary information. 

This Customer Proprietary Network 

Information (CPNI) includes personally 

identifiable information derived from a 

customer’s relationship with a provider 

of telecommunications services. This 

information collection implements the 

statutory obligations of Section 222. 

These regulations impose safeguards to 

protect customers’ CPNI against 

unauthorized access and disclosure. In 

March 2007, the Commission adopted 

new rules that focused on the efforts of 

providers of telecommunications 

services to prevent pretexting. These 

rules require providers of 

telecommunications services to adopt 

additional privacy safeguards that, the 

Commission believes, will limit 

pretexters’ ability to obtain 

unauthorized access to the type of 

personal customer information from 

carriers that the Commission regulates. 

In addition, in furtherance of the 

Telephone Records and Privacy 

Protection Act of 2006, the 

Commission’s rules help ensure that law 

enforcement will have necessary tools to 

investigate and enforce prohibitions on 

illegal access to customer records.

Title: Application for Mobility Fund 

Phase I Support—FCC Form 680. 

Form Number: FCC Form 680. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities, not-for-profit institutions, 

and state, local or tribal governments. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 10 respondents and 10 

responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 1.5 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this information collection 

47 U.S.C. 154, 254 and 303(r). 

Total Annual Burden: 15 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $0. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

uses the information collected on FCC 

Form 680 to determine whether a 

winning bidder is qualified to receive 

Mobility Fund Phase I and Tribal 

Mobility Fund Phase I support. On 

November 18, 2011, the Commission 

released an order comprehensively 

reforming and modernizing the 

universal service and intercarrier 

compensation systems to ensure that 

robust, affordable voice and broadband 

service, both fixed and mobile, are 

available to Americans throughout the 

nation. Connect America Fund et al., 

Order and Further Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking, FCC 11–161 (USF/ICC 

Transformation Order). In the USF/ICC 

Transformation Order, the Commission, 

among other things, created the Mobility 

Fund to ensure the availability of 

mobile broadband networks in areas 

where a private-sector business case is 

lacking. Phase I of the Mobility Fund 

provided one-time universal service 

support for the deployment of networks 

for mobile voice and broadband service, 

and a separate, complementary Tribal 

Mobility Fund Phase I provided onetime universal service support to 

accelerate the availability of mobile 

voice and broadband service on Tribal 

lands. 

The Commission adopted rules to 

implement the reforms it adopted in the 

USF/ICC Transformation Order, 

including the rules in sections 

1.21004(a), 54.1004, 54.1005, 54.1006, 

54.1007, and 54.1008 which contain 

information collection requirements 

used to determine whether a winning 

bidder of Mobility Fund Phase I support 

and Tribal Mobility Fund Phase I 

support is qualified to receive such 

support. 

Section 1.21004(a) of the 

Commission’s rules requires each 

winning bidder in an auction for 

universal service support to apply for 

the support it won by the applicable 

deadline. Sections 54.1005(b) and 

54.1006 require a winning bidder to 

submit, using FCC Form 680, ownership 

information, proof of its status as an 

Eligible Telecommunications Carrier, a 

description of its spectrum access, a 

detailed project description, any 

guarantee of performance that the 

Commission may require, and various 

certifications. Sections 54.1004(d)(3) 

and 54.1008(d) require a winning bidder 

to certify in its application that it has 

substantively engaged appropriate 

Tribal officials. In addition, sections 

54.1007(a) and (b) require a winning 

bidder to obtain and submit to the 

Commission an irrevocable standby 

letter of credit, which the winning 

bidder must maintain until at least 120 

days after the winning bidder receives 

its final distribution of support. 

The information collection 

requirements ensure that a winning 

bidder submits an application for the 

universal service support it won, and 

the Commission uses the information 

submitted in the application to 

determine whether the applicant is 

legally, technically, and financially 

qualified to receive such support. The 

requirement that a winning bidder 

obtain, submit, and maintain a letter of 

credit will secure a return of universal 

service funds from a winning bidder 

that defaults on its obligations and will 

protect the integrity of the universal 

service programs. Without such 

information, the Commission could not 

determine whether to disburse universal 

service support to a winning bidder or 

protect the government’s interest in the 

funds allocated for Mobility Fund Phase 

I and Tribal Mobility Fund Phase I.
