statement: 

‘‘This transmitter is authorized by rule

digital voice communications are prohibited. 

Although this transmitter has been approved

there is no guarantee that it will not receive 

interference or that any particular 

transmission from this transmitter will be 

free from interference.’’ 

MedRadio programmer/control 

transmitters operating in the 413–419

OMB Control Number: 3060–1085. 

Title: Section 9.5, Interconnected 

Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) 

E911 Compliance. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities and Not-for-profit 

institutions. 

Number of Respondents: 12 

respondents; 14,612,166 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 

0.04012548 hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement, recordkeeping 

requirement and third party disclosure 

requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. 

Statutory authority for this information 

collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. 

Sections 151, 154(i)–(j), 251(e) and 

303(r) of the Communications Act of 

1934, as amended. 

Total Annual Burden: 586,320 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $80,235,305. 

Privacy Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this information collection 

to the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for approval of an extension (no 

change in the recordkeeping and/or 

third party disclosure requirements). 

This is necessary to obtain the three 

year OMB approval. There is an 

adjustment increase of 11,375 burden 

hours for this submission to OMB. The 

adjustment is due to recalculation of the 

previous estimates and an increase in 

the number of responses. There is no 

change in the annual cost burden. 

On October 7, 2011, the Commission 

released the Contributions to the 

Telephone Relay Services Fund Report 

and Order. In addition to providing a 

systematic way of assessing 

contributions from non-interconnnected 

VoIP services providers, the Order also 

requires interconnected and noninterconnected VoIP services providers 

to report revenues and subscribership 

on FCC Form 499–A, 

Telecommunications Reporting 

Worksheet. This requirement was 

approved under OMB control number 

3060–0819 on November 7, 2011. The 

reported data will be used by the 

Commission to assess monetary 

contribution requirements on VoIP 

services providers. The reported data 

will also provide actual subscriber 

activity that will improve the accuracy 

of the estimates used in the supporting 

statement. The first reports from noninterconnected VoIP services providers 

are due on April 1, 2012, and will yield 

more precise subscribership data that 

will be published for public 

consumption by early 2014. 

The Commission requires providers of 

interconnected VoIP services to obtain 

information regarding their end users’ 

location as a condition of providing 

service. 

Interconnected VoIP providers must 

provide that information to entities that 

maintain databases used to ensure that 

the caller’s location and a call back 

number are provided to requesting 

public safety answering points (PSAPs) 

when a 911 call is placed. The 

Commission also requires 

interconnected VoIP providers to ensure 

that end users understand the 

limitations of their service and obtain 

from the end user evidence of such 

understanding.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

Information Collection Being Reviewed 

by the Federal Communications 

Commission Under Delegated 

Authority 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort 

to reduce paperwork burden and as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501— 

3520), the Federal Communications 

Commission invites the general public 

and other Federal agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on the 

following information collection(s). 

Comments are requested concerning: 

(a) 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; 

(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s 

burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collected; (d) 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 (e) ways to 

further reduce the information burden 

for 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 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 (PRA) that 

does not display a valid OMB control 

number. 

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction 

Act (PRA) comments should be 

submitted on or before April 30, 2012. 

If you anticipate that you will be 

submitting PRA comments, but find it 

difficult to do so within the period of 

time allowed by this notice, you should 

advise the FCC contact listed below as 

soon as possible. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your PRA comments 

to Nicholas A. Fraser, Office of 

Management and Budget, via fax at 202– 

395–5167 or via Internet at 

Nicholas_A._Fraser@omb.eop.gov and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0859. 

Title: Suggested Guidelines for 

Petitions for Ruling Under Section 253 

of the Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended. 

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: 24 

respondents; 24 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 63 to 

125 hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement. 

Obligation To Respond: Voluntary. 

Statutory authority for this information 

collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. 

Section 253 of the Communications Act 

of 1934, as amended. 

Total Annual Burden: 1,698 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: N/A. 

Privacy Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this expiring information 

collection to the OMB after this 

comment period in order to obtain the 

full three year clearance from them. The 

Commission is requesting an extension 

(with no change in the reporting 

requirement). There is a reduction in the 

estimated number of respondents/ 

responses and the annual burden hours 

because very few requests for 

preemption pursuant to section 253 

have been filed in recent years. 

The Commission published a Public 

Notice in November 1998 which 

established various guidelines for the 

filing of petitions for preemption 

pursuant to section 253 of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended, as well as guidelines for the 

filing of comments opposing such 

requests for preemption. The 

Commission will use this information to 

discharge its statutory mandate relating 

to the preemption of state or local 

statutes, regulations, or other state or 

local legal requirements. 

Section 253 of the Communications 

Act of 1934, as amended; added by the 

Telecommunications Act of 1996, 

requires the Commission, with certain 

important exceptions, to preempt (to the 

extent necessary) the enforcement of 

any state or local statute or regulation, 

or other state or local legal requirement 

that prohibits or has the effect of 

prohibiting any entity from providing 

any interstate or intrastate 

telecommunications service. The 

Commission’s consideration of 

preemption under section 253 typically 

begins with the filing of a petition by an 

aggrieved party. The Commission 

typically places such petitions on public 

notice and requests comment by 

interested parties. The Commission’s 

decision is based on the public record, 

generally composed of the petition and 

comments. The Commission has 

considered a number of preemption 

items since the passage of the 

Telecommunications Act of 1996, and 

believes it is the public interest to 

inform the public of the information 

necessary for full consideration of the 

issues likely to be involved in section 

253 preemption actions. In order to 

render a timely and informed decision, 

the Commission expects petitioners and 

commenters to provide it with relevant 

information sufficient to describe the 

legal regime involved in the controversy 

and to provide the factual information 

necessary for a decision.
