Synopsis

    As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3507), the FCC is notifying the public that it received OMB approval on 
July 6, 2018, for the information collection requirements contained in 
the Commission's rules at Sec.  64.1601(d)(4)(ii) and (f).
    Under 5 CFR part 1320, an agency may not conduct or sponsor a 
collection of information unless it displays a current, valid OMB 
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 
that does not display a current, valid OMB Control Number. The OMB 
Control Number is 3060-1255.
    The foregoing notice is required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995, Public Law 104-13, October 1, 1995, and 44 U.S.C. 3507.
    The total annual reporting burdens and costs for the respondents 
are as follows:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-1255.
    OMB Approval Date: July 6, 2018.
    OMB Expiration Date: July 31, 2021.
    Title: Rules and Policies Regarding Calling Number Identification 
Service--Caller ID, CC Docket No. 91-281.
    Form Number: N/A. Type of Review: New collection. Respondents: 
Business or other for-profit entities.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 46,291 respondents; 1,705 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.083 hours (5 minutes).
    Frequency of Response: Monthly and on-going reporting requirements.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefit. The 
statutory authority for the information collection requirements is 
found at sections 201(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 
47 U.S.C. 201(b) and section 222, 47 U.S.C. 222. The Commission's 
implementing rules are codified at 47 CFR 64.1600-64.1601.
    Total Annual Burden: 142 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No cost.
    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 from 
individuals.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Needs and Uses: The Commission amended rules requiring that 
carriers honor privacy requests to state that Sec.  64.1601(b) of the 
Commission's rules shall not apply when calling party number (CPN) 
delivery is made in connection with a threatening call. Upon report of 
such a threatening call by law enforcement on behalf of the threatened 
party, the carrier will provide any CPN of the calling party to law 
enforcement and, as directed by law enforcement, to security personnel 
for the called party for the purpose of identifying the party 
responsible for the threatening call. Carriers now have a recordkeeping 
requirement in order to quickly provide law enforcement with 
information relating to threatening calls.
    The Commission also amended rules to allow non-public emergency 
services to receive the CPN of all incoming calls from blocked numbers 
requesting assistance. The Commission believes amending its rules to 
allow non-public emergency services access to blocked Caller ID 
promotes the public interest by ensuring timely provision of emergency 
services without undermining any countervailing privacy interests. 
Carriers now have a recordkeeping requirement in order to provide 
emergency service providers with the information they need to assist 
callers.


Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene Dortch,
Secretary, Office of the Secretary.
