SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As part of its continuing effort to reduce 
paperwork burdens, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), the FCC invited the general public and 
other Federal Agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the 
following information collection. 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 estimates; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (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. Pursuant to the Small Business 
Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, Public Law 107-198, see 44 U.S.C. 
3506(c)(4), the FCC seeks specific comment on how it might ``further 
reduce the information collection burden for small business concerns 
with fewer than 25 employees.''
    OMB Control Number: 3060-1307.
    Title: Performance Evaluation of Numbering Administration 
Vendor(s).
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently information collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities, Not-for-profit 
entities, and State, Local and Tribal governments.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 6,237 respondents and 6,237 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.25 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Annual reporting requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Voluntary. Statutory authority for this 
information is contained in 47 U.S.C. 251(e)(1).
    Total Annual Burden: 1,561 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No cost.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission is requesting Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) approval this revised information collection. This 
collection of information is an annual performance satisfaction survey 
of its vendor(s) acting as administrators for various telephone number 
management functions. These functions may be performed by one or 
multiple vendors under one or multiple contracts. The vendor(s) act 
pursuant to their contract(s) with the Federal Communications 
Commission (FCC) and the FCC's numbering rules. See 47 CFR 52.1 et seq.
    The survey will be designed and administered by the Numbering 
Administration Oversight Working Group (NAOWG) of the North American 
Numbering Council (NANC). The NANC is a Federal Advisory Committee 
established under the Federal Advisory Committee Act. The NANC advises 
the FCC and makes recommendations, reached through consensus, that 
foster efficient and impartial number administration. The NANC is 
composed of representatives of telecommunications carriers, regulators, 
cable providers, Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) providers, 
industry associations, vendors, and consumer advocates. Working groups, 
including the NAOWG, made up of industry experts, have been established 
by the NANC to assist in its efforts. The NANC charter can be found at 
https://www.fcc.gov/files/charter-north-american-numbering-council.
    The relevant contract(s) require that the Commission and/or its 
designee shall develop and conduct a performance survey for each 
administrator. The results of this consumer satisfaction survey will 
provide the FCC with indicators on how well the vendor(s) are acting as 
the North American Numbering Program Administrator (NANPA), Pooling 
Administrator (PA), Routing Number Administrator (RNA) and Reassigned 
Numbering Database Administrator (RNDA) is meeting its contractual 
obligations and accomplishing its mission as the NANPA/PA/RNA/RNDA.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary, Office of the Secretary.
