FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As part of 

its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork burdens, and as required by 

the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 

1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), 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

OMB Control Number: 3060–0952. 

Title: Proposed Demographic 

Information and Notifications, Second 

Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

(FNPRM), CC Docket No. 98–147 and 

Fifth NPRM (NPRM), CC Docket No. 96– 

98. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 750 respondents; 1,500 

responses. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirements and third-party 

disclosure requirement. 

Estimated Time per Response: 2 

hours. 

Total Annual Burden: 3,000 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: No cost. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this information collection 

is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151–154, 201, 

202, 251–254, 256, 271, and 303(r) of 

the Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No 

impact(s). 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

The Commission is not requesting 

respondents to submit confidential 

information to the FCC. If the applicants 

wish to submit information which they 

believe is confidential, they may request 

confidential treatment of such 

information under 47 CFR 0.459 of the 

Commission’s rules. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

asked whether physical collocation in 

remote terminals presents technical or 

security concerns, and if so, whether 

these concerns warrant modification of 

its collocation rules. The Commission 

asked whether incumbent LECs should 

be required to provide requesting 

carriers with demographic and other 

information regarding particular remote 

terminals similar to the information 

available regarding incumbent LEC 

central offices. Requesting carriers use 

demographic and other information 

obtained from incumbent LECs to 

determine whether they wish to 

collocate at particular remote terminals. 

This proposed information collection in 

the Second Further Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking, FCC 98–147, will be used 

by the Commission, state commissions, 

and competitive carriers to facilitate the 

deployment of advanced services and 

other telecommunications services in 

implementation of section 251(c)(6) of 

the Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended. The number of respondents, 

annual responses, and annual burden 

has not changed.

Information Collection Being Reviewed

Commission 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice and request for

Title: Accelerating Wireline 

Broadband Deployment by Removing 

Barriers to Infrastructure Investment, 

GN Docket No. 17–84. 

Form Number(s): N/A. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 5,357 respondents; 573,928 

responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 0.5–4.5 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirements; recordkeeping 

and third-party disclosure requirements. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this information collection 

is contained in 47 U.S.C. 222 and 251. 

Total Annual Burden: 575,448 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: No cost. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No 

impact(s). 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

The Commission is not requesting that 

the respondents submit confidential 

information to the FCC. Respondents 

may, however, request confidential 

treatment for information they believe to 

be confidential under 47 CFR 0.459 of 

the Commission’s rules. 

Needs and Uses: Section 251 of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended, 47 U.S.C. 251, is designed to 

accelerate private sector development 

and deployment of telecommunications 

technologies and services by spurring 

competition. Section 222(e) is also 

designed to spur competition by 

prescribing requirements for the sharing 

of subscriber list information. These 

information collection requirements are 

designed to help implement certain 

provisions of sections 222(e) and 251, 

and to eliminate operational barriers to 

competition in the telecommunications 

services market. Specifically, these 

information collection requirements 

will be used to implement (1) local 

exchange carriers’ (‘‘LECs’’) obligations 

to provide their competitors with 

dialing parity and non-discriminatory 

access to certain services and 

functionalities; (2) incumbent local 

exchange carriers’ (‘‘ILECs’’) duty to 

make network information disclosures; 

and (3) numbering administration. The 

revisions to this collection relate to 

changes in one of many components of 

the currently approved collection— 

specifically, certain reporting, 

recordkeeping and/or third-party 

disclosure requirements under section 

251(c)(5). In November 2017, the 

Commission adopted new rules 

concerning certain information 

collection requirements implemented 

under section 251(c)(5) of the Act, 

pertaining to network change 

disclosures. Most of the changes to 

those rules applied specifically to a 

certain subset of network change 

disclosures, namely notices of planned 

copper retirements. In addition, the 

changes removed a rule that prohibits 

incumbent LECs from engaging in useful 

advanced coordination with entities 

affected by network changes. In June 

2018, the Commission revised its 

network change disclosure rules to (1) 

revise the types of network changes that 

trigger an incumbent LEC’s public 

notice obligation, and (2) extend the 

force majeure provisions applicable to 

copper retirements to all types of 

network changes. The changes are 

aimed at removing unnecessary 

regulatory barriers to the deployment of 

high-speed broadband networks. The 

Commission estimates that these 

revisions do not result in any change to 

the total annual burden hours or any 

additional outlays of funds for hiring 

outside contractors or procuring 

equipment as the changes eliminate 

notices that are subsumed by notice 

obligations that remain in force or 

simply codify procedures available to a 

small number of incumbent LECs by 

waiver orders.
