SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
and as

[[Page 83539]]

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.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before January 
29, 2024. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments but 
find it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this 
notice, you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Cathy Williams, FCC, via email to 
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#8fdfddcecfe9ececa1e8e0f9"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="ebbbb9aaab8d8888c58c849d">[email protected]</span></a> and to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#b5f6d4c1ddcc9be2dcd9d9dcd4d8c6f5d3d6d69bd2dac3"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="9bd8faeff3e2b5ccf2f7f7f2faf6e8dbfdf8f8b5fcf4ed">[email protected]</span></a>.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control Number: 3060-1255.
    Title: Rules and Policies Regarding Calling Number Identification 
Service--Caller ID, CC Docket No. 91-281.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 46,291 respondents; 1,705 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: .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 section 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 64.1600-01.
    Total Annual Burden: 142 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No cost.
    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 serve providers with the information they need to assist 
callers.

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