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 

the Commission) invites the general 

public and other Federal agencies to 

take this opportunity to comment on the 

following information collection. 

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

OMB Control Number: 3060–1186. 

Title: Rural Call Completion, WC 

Docket No. 13–39. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 56 respondents; 112 

responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 1–48 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: Third-party 

disclosure and recordkeeping 

requirements. 

Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. 

Statutory authority for this collection is 

contained in sections 201, 202, 217, 218, 

220(a), 251(a), and 403 of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended, 47 U.S.C. 201, 202, 217, 218, 

220(a), 251(a), 403. 

Total Annual Burden: 2,744 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $350,000.00. 

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: The Commission has 

found that rural call completion is a 

continuing problem imposing needless 

economic and personal costs on local 

communities, and that continued 

Commission focus on the issue is 

warranted. The information collected 

through these data collections will be 

used by the Commission to determine 

whether long distance providers are 

complying with their sections 201 and 

202 obligations to provide telephone 

service to both rural and nonrural 

customers on a just, reasonable, and 

nondiscriminatory basis. The 

Commission revised this collection to 

eliminate the existing reporting 

requirement and to require covered 

providers to provide rural call 

completion contact information, which 

will be used to facilitate industry 

collaboration to address call completion 

issues.
