78750 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 220 / Thursday, November 16, 2023 / Notices 

Item No. Bureau Subject 

SUMMARY: The Commission will consider a Report and Order and Further Notice 

of Proposed Rulemaking that would adopt rules to protect consumers from SIM 

swap and port-out fraud, two fraudulent practices that bad actors use to take 

control of consumers’ cell phones, and would also seek comment on whether to 

harmonize the Commission’s existing requirements governing customer access 

to customer proprietary network information with the new SIM change authentication and protection measures in the Report and Order. 

5 ...................... WIRELINE TELE-COMMUNICATIONS ... TITLE: Amending Amateur Radio Rules for Greater Flexibility in Data Communications (WT Docket No. 16–239). 

SUMMARY: The Commission will consider a Report and Order and Further Notice 

of Proposed Rulemaking that would eliminate the symbol rate (also known as 

baud rate) limitation and establish a bandwidth limitation that would provide flexibility to use modern digital emissions, thereby promoting innovation and experimentation in the amateur service. The item would also propose removal of the 

baud rate limitation in several additional bands. 

6 ...................... WIRELINE COMPETITION ...................... TITLE: Reducing Regulatory Requirements for Rural Provider of Long-Distance 

Access Service (WC Docket No. 22–407). 

SUMMARY: The Commission will consider a Declaratory Ruling and Memorandum 

Opinion and Order that would grant the Minnesota Independent Equal Access 

Corporation (MIEAC) relief from dominant carrier regulation with respect to its 

provision of centralized equal access (CEA) service, and regulate MIEAC as a 

non-dominant competitive LEC for this service going forward. In light of declining 

demand, intervening exchange access service regulatory reforms, and technological changes in the voice services marketplace generally, dominant carrier 

regulation of MIEAC’s CEA service is no longer necessary to serve the public interest. 

7 ...................... ENFORCEMENT ...................................... TITLE: Enforcement Bureau Action. 

SUMMARY: The Commission will consider an enforcement action. 

8 ...................... ENFORCEMENT.

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice and request for

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort 

to reduce paperwork burdens, and as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995 (PRA), the Federal 

Communications Commission (FCC or 

Commission) invites the general public 

and other Federal agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on the 

following information collections. 

Comments are requested concerning: 

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; 

the accuracy of the Commission’s 

burden estimate; ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collected; 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 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 Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) control 

number. No 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 OMB 

control number.

be submitted on or before January 16, 

2024. If you anticipate that you will be
