Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 209 / Tuesday, October 29, 2024 / Notices 85967 

part 52, subpart (C), and CC Docket No. 

95–116. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other for 

profit entities. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 1,626 respondents; 

13,672,050 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 0.0666 

hours–60 hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

and one-time reporting requirements, 

recordkeeping requirement, and third 

party disclosure requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this information collection 

is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151, 152, 

154(i), 201–205, 215, 251(b)(2), 251(e)(2) 

and 332 of the Communications Act of 

1934, as amended. 

Total Annual Burden: 792,235 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: No cost. 

Needs and Uses: Section 251(b)(2) of 

the Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended, requires LECs to ‘‘provide, to 

the extent technically feasible, number 

portability in accordance with 

requirements prescribed by the 

Commission.’’ Through the LNP 

process, consumers have the ability to 

retain their phone number when 

switching telecommunications service 

providers, enabling them to choose a 

provider that best suits their needs and 

enhancing competition. In the Porting 

Interval Order and Further Notice, the 

Commission mandated a one business 

day porting interval for simple wirelineto-wireline and intermodal port 

requests. The information collected in 

the standard local service request data 

fields is necessary to complete simple 

wireline-to-wireline and intermodal 

ports within the one business day 

porting interval mandated by the 

Commission and will be used to comply 

with Section 251 of the 

Telecommunications Act of 1996. 

On November 16, 2023, the FCC 

released a Report and Order and Further 

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (88 FR 

85794 (Dec. 8, 2023)) (SIM Swap and 

Port-Out Fraud Order), which adds new 

information collection requirements. 

The SIM Swap and Port-Out Fraud 

Order adopted baseline measures to 

increase protections for customers 

against fraudulent port-outs by adding 

new section 52.37 in Part 52, and adds 

new information collection 

requirements in paragraphs (c), (e), and 

(g), of that rule. Port-out fraud occurs 

where a bad actor impersonates a 

customers of a wireless provider and 

convinces the provider to port the real 

customer’s telephone number to a new 

wireless provider and a device that the 

bad actor controls, allowing a bad actor 

to control the victim’s mobile account 

and receive text messages and phone 

calls intended for the victim. The new 

rules establish a uniform framework that 

gives wireless providers flexibility to 

implement customer authentication and 

security methods to address port-out 

fraud. Wireless providers are required to 

comply with the new or modified rules 

except where the Safe Connections Act 

requires alternate procedures to be used. 

The SIM Swap and Port-Out Fraud 

Order modifies the existing Local 

Number Portability collection 

requirements to require wireless 

providers to: (1) immediately notify 

customers of any requests for a port-out 

request associated with the customer’s 

account before effectuating the request; 

(2) provide customers with advance 

notice of any account protection 

measures offered; and (3) maintain a 

clear process for customers to report 

fraudulent number ports, and promptly 

provide customers with documentation 

of fraudulent ports involving their 

accounts.
