Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 6 / Monday, January 10, 2022 / Notices 1145 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. The statutory 

authority for these information 

requirements are found in sections 1–4, 

201, 202, 222, 258, and 303(r) of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended; 47 U.S.C. 151–154, 201, 202, 

222, 258, and 303(r). 

Total Annual Burden: 54,900 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: None. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

Confidentiality is not an issue as 

individuals and/or households are not 

required to provide personally 

identifiable information. 

Privacy Impact Assessment: No 

impact(s). 

Needs and Uses: In the 2005 Report 

and Order and Further Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking, In the Matter of 

Rules and Regulations Implementing 

Minimum Customer Account Record 

Exchange Obligations on All Local and 

Interexchange Carriers (2005 Report and 

Order), CG Docket No. 02–386, FCC 05– 

29, which was released on February 25, 

2005, the Commission adopted rules 

governing the exchange of customer 

account information between local 

exchange carriers (LECs) and 

interexchange carriers (IXCs). The 

Commission concluded that mandatory, 

minimum standards are needed in light 

of record evidence demonstrating that 

information needed by carriers to 

execute customer requests and properly 

bill customers is not being consistently 

provided by all LECs and IXCs. 

Specifically, the 2005 Report and Order 

requires LECs to supply customer 

account information to IXCs when: (1) 

The LEC places an end user on, or 

removes an end user from, an IXC’s 

network; (2) an end user presubscribed 

to an IXC makes certain changes to her 

account information via her LEC; (3) an 

IXC requests billing name and address 

information for an end user who has 

usage on an IXC’s network but for whom 

the IXC does not have an existing 

account; and (4) a LEC rejects an IXCinitiated PIC order. The 2005 Report and 

Order required IXCs to notify LECs 

when an IXC customer informs an IXC 

directly of the customer’s desire to 

change IXCs. In the accompanying 

Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 

the Commission sought comment on 

whether to require the exchange of 

customer account information between 

LECs. In December 2007, the 

Commission declined to adopt 

mandatory LEC-to-LEC data exchange 

requirements.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

[OMB 3060–1042; FR ID 66156] 

Information Collections Being 

Reviewed by the Federal 

Communications Commission 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort 

to reduce paperwork burdens, and as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act (PRA) of 1995, 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 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 March 11, 

2022. 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 PRA@

fcc.gov and to Cathy.Williams@fcc.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

additional information about the 

information collection, contact Cathy 

Williams at (202) 418–2918. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB 

Control No.: 3060–1042. 

Title: Request for Technical Support— 

Help Request Form. 

Form No.: N/A—Electronic only. 

Type of Review: Extension of 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Individuals or 

household; business or other for-profit; 

not-for-profit institutions; and state, 

local or tribal government. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 36,300 respondents and 

36,300 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 0.14 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement and 

recordkeeping requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. There is no 

statutory authority for this information 

collection. The Commission developed 

this information collection on its own 

motion to assist users of the Universal 

Licensing System (ULS) or other FCC 

electronic systems. 

Total Annual Burden: 5,082 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $609,840. 

Needs and Uses: The FCC maintains 

internet software used by the public to 

apply for licenses, participate in 

auctions for spectrum, and maintain 

license information. In this mission, 

FCC has a ‘help desk’ that answers 

questions related to these systems as 

well as resetting and/or issuing user 

passwords for access to these systems. 

The form currently is available on the 

website https://esupport.fcc.gov/ 

request.htm under OMB Control 

Number 3060–1042. This form will 

continue to substantially decrease 

public and staff burden since all the 

information needed to facilitate a 

support request will be submitted in a 

standard format but be available to a 

wider audience. This eliminates or at 

least minimizes the need to follow-up 

with the customers to obtain all the 

information necessary to respond to 

their request. This form also helps 

presort requests into previously defined 

categories to all staff to respond more 

quickly.
