OMB Control No.: 3060–0715.

Expiration Date: 06/30/2001.

Title: Implementation of the

Telecommunications Act of 1996:

Telecommunications Carriers’ Use of

Customer Proprietary Network

Information and Other Customer

Proprietary Network.

Form No.: N/A.

Respondents: Business or other forprofit.

Estimated Annual Burden: 4832

respondents; 161.62 hours per response

(avg.); 780,989 total annual burden

hours for all collections.

Estimated Annual Reporting and

Recordkeeping Cost Burden:

$229,520,000.

Frequency of Response: On occasion;

one-time.

Description: In the Second Report and

Order issued in CC Docket No. 96–115,

released 3/98, the Commission seeks to

implement the statutory obligations of

section 222 of the Telecommunications

Act of 1996. In addition, the

Commission undertakes a review of the

current regulatory customer proprietary

network information (CPNI) framework

and addresses issues deferred to this

proceeding from other Commission

proceedings. In fulfillment of these

goals, the Commission imposes certain

collections of information on all

telecommunications carriers.

Collections Adopted in the Second

Report and Order: (a) Customer

Approval (47 U.S.C. Section 222(c)(1)):

If carriers choose to use CPNI to market

service offerings outside the customer’s

existing service, they must obtain

customer approval. Carriers are

permitted to obtain such approval

through written, oral, or electronic

means. Carriers are permitted to use
Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 139 /Tuesday, July 21, 1998 / Notices 39087

advanced technologies of their

networks, including 800 numbers, 888

numbers, and e-mail, to obtain customer

approval, in addition to using various

types of written approval, such as

billing inserts. See 47 CFR Sections

64.2007. (Number of respondents: 4832;

hours per response: 78 hours; total

annual burden: 376,896). (b) Customer

Approval Documentation and

Recordkeeping: Carriers must document

such approval through software ‘‘flags’’

on customer service records indicating

whether the customer has approved or

declined the marketing use of his or her

CPNI when solicited. The flag must be

conspicuously displayed within a box

or comment field within the first few

lines of the first computer screen. The

flag must indicate whether the customer

has approved the marketing use of his

or her CPNI, and in addition reference

the customer’s existing service

subscription. Carriers must maintain

records of approval, whether written,

oral, or electronic for a period of at least

one year, and be capable of producing

them if the sufficiency of a customer’s

approval is challenged. See 47 CFR

Sections 64.2007(e) and 64.2009.

(Number of respondents: 4832; hours

per response: 30 minutes; total annual

burden: 2416 hours). (c) Notification of

CPNI Rights: All telecommunications

carriers that choose to solicit customer

approval must provide their customers

a one-time notification of their CPNI

rights prior to any such solicitation.

Carriers are required to give customers

explicit notice of their CPNI rights prior

to any solicitation for approval. A

carrier is permitted to provide either

written or oral notification. Such

notification may take the form of a bill

insert, an individual letter or an oral

presentation that advises the customer

of his/her right to restrict carrier access

to CPNI. At a minimum, customer

notification, whether oral or written,

must provide sufficient information to

enable the customer to make an

informed decision as to whether to

permit a carrier to use, disclose, or

permit access to CPNI. The notice must

specify the types of information that

constitute CPNI and the specific entities

that will receive the CPNI, describe the

purpose for which the CPNI will be

used and inform the customer of his or

her right to disapprove those uses, and

to deny or withdraw access to CPNI at

any time. The notification also must

advise customers of the precise steps

they must take in order to grant or deny

access to CPNI, and must clearly state

that a denial of approval will not affect

the provision of any services to which

the customer subscribes. The

notification must be reasonably

comprehensible and non-misleading. If

any portion of a notification is

translated into another language, then

all portions of the notification must be

translated into the language. See 47 CFR

Section 64.2007(f) and paragraphs 138–

141 in the Order. (Number of

respondents: 4832; hours per response:

78 hours; total annual burden: 376,896

hours). (d) Notification Recordkeeping:

Pursuant to this one-time notification

requirement, these carriers must

maintain a record of such notifications.

Carriers must maintain such records for

a period of at least one year. See 47 CFR

Section 64.2007(e). (Number of

respondents: 4832; hours per response:

30 minutes; total annual burden: 2416

hours). (e) Audit Mechanism: All

employees with access to customer

records must be trained as to when they

can and cannot access the customer’s

CPNI. Carriers must maintain electronic

audit mechanisms that track access to

customer accounts. All carriers must

record whenever customer records are

opened, by whom, and for what

purpose, and maintain these contact

histories for a period of at least one year.

See 47 CFR Section 64.2009. (Number of

respondents: 4832; hours per response:

30 minutes; total annual burden: 2416

hours). (f) Event Histories

Recordkeeping: To assure compliance

with CPNI protections, sales personnel

must obtain supervisory review of any

proposed request to use CPNI for

outbound marketing purposes. Carriers

are required to maintain a record of

these event histories for at least one year

from the date of the marketing

campaign. See 47 CFR 64.2009(d).

(Number of respondents: 4832; hours

per response: 30 minutes; total annual

burden: 2416 hours). (g) Corporate

Compliance Certification: All

telecommunications carriers must

obtain on an annual basis a certification

signed by a current corporate officer

attesting that he or she has personal

knowledge that the carrier is in

compliance with the rules we

promulgated in this order, and to create

an accompanying statement explaining

how the carriers are implementing our

rules and safeguards. This certification

must be made publicly available. See 47

CFR Section 64.2009(e) and paragraph

201 of Order. (Number of respondents:

4832; hours per response: 1 hour; total

annual burden 4832 hours). (h)

Aggregate Customer Information

Disclosure Requirements for LECs (47

U.S.C. 222(c)(3)): LECs must disclose

aggregate customer information to

others upon request, when they use or

disclose the aggregate customer

information for marketing service to

which the customer does not subscribe.

See paragraph 150 in text of Order.

(Number of respondents: 1400; hours

per response 1 hour; total annual

burden: 1400 hours). (i) Subscriber List

Information Disclosure Requirement for

Providers of Telephone Exchange

Service (47 U.S.C. Section 222(e)):

Section 222(e) states that a

telecommunications carrier that

provides ‘‘telephone exchange service’’

shall provide subscriber list information

‘‘gathered in its capacity as a provider

of such service on a timely and

unbundled basis, under

nondiscriminatory and reasonable rates,

terms, and conditions, to any person

upon request for the purpose of

publishing directories in any format.’’

(Number of respondents: 1400; hours

per response: 4 hours; total annual

burden: 5600 hours). (j) CPNI Disclosure

to Third Parties: Section 222(c)(2)

requires carriers, when presented with a

customer’s affirmative written request,

to provide that customer’s CPNI to any

person designated in the written

authorization. Section 222(c)(2) imposes

a disclosure requirement on carriers to

ensure that any party with customer

authorization, including unaffiliated

third party competitors, can obtain

access to individually identifiable CPNI.

As such, carriers must provide a

customer’s CPNI to any party that has

obtained an affirmative written

authorization from the customer.

(Number of respondents: 500; hours per

response: 5 hours; total annual burden:

2500 hours).

Collections Proposed in the FNPRM

(k) Proposed Foreign Storage of CPNI:

The Commission sought comment on

whether requiring written customer

consent to store or access CPNI from a

foreign country and maintaining

duplicate CPNI records in the U.S. are

necessary to protect customer

confidentiality under section 222(a) or

any other provisions. (Number of

respondents: 10; hours per response:

78.5; total annual burden: 785 hours). (l)

Proposed Foreign Maintenance of CPNI

of all U.S.-Based Customers Records:

The Commission sought comment on

the FBI’s proposal to require carriers to

maintain copies of the CPNI of all U.S.-

based customers, regardless of whether

they are U.S. domestic customers,

because of the need for prompt, secure

and confidential law enforcement,

public safety, or national security access

to such information, pursuant to lawful

authority. (Number of respondents:

4832; hours per response: 30 minutes;

total annual burden; 2416 hours). All of

the collections, adopted and proposed,
39088 Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 139 /Tuesday, July 21, 1998 / Notices

would be used to ensure that

telecommunications carriers comply

with the CPNI requirements the

Report and Order and to implement

Section 222 of the statute. Obligation to

Board on Universal Service, Report and

Order, CC Docket No. 96–45, FCC 97–

157 (Order). In that Order, the

Commission adopted rules providing

funding for discounts to eligible schools

and libraries. The Commission also

adopted rules mandating that state

commissions designate common carriers

as eligible telecommunications carriers

for service areas selected by state

commissions in accordance with section

214(e). In a Public Notice, the Common

Carrier Bureau announced procedures

states must follow in order to receive

universal service support. a. Submission

of eligibility criteria. States must, either

upon their own motion or upon request,

designate common carriers as eligible

telecommunications carriers for service

areas designated by the state

commission in accordance with section

214(e). 47 CFR 54.201(b). States must

also designate service areas for nonrural carriers. 47 CFR 54.201(b). We

request that states submit a list of

carriers designated as eligible

telecommunications carriers and the

service areas such non-rural carriers are

required to serve to the Universal

Service Administrator. We request that

states also send copies of the lists to the

Universal Service Branch and the Office

of the Secretary at the Federal

Communications Commission. This

information should be submitted as

soon as possible after a state makes a

designation. (No. of respondents: 25;

hours per response: 1 hour; total annual

burden: 25 hours). b. Self-certification

as a rural telephone company. Any local

exchange carrier that seeks to be

classified as a rural telephone company

must file a letter with the Commission

by April 30th of each year notifying the

Commission that the LEC certifies itself

to be a rural telephone company and

explaining how the carrier meets at least

one of the four criteria in 47 U.S.C.

§ 153(37). (No. of respondents: 840;

hours per response: 1 hour; total annual

burden: 840 hours). c. Notification of

change in status as rural telephone

company. If a local exchange carrier’s

status as a rural telephone company

changes so that it becomes ineligible for

certification as a rural carrier, that

carrier must inform the Commission and

the Universal Service Administrator

within one month of the change in

status. (No. of respondents: 210; hours

per response: .5 hours; total annual

burden: 105 hours).

All the requirements contained herein

are necessary to implement the

Description: On May 8, 1997, the

Commission adopted rules in CC Docket

No. 96–45 providing discounts on all

telecommunications services, Internet

access, and internal connections for all

eligible schools and libraries. The

following forms are used to implement

these requirements and obligations: a.

FCC Form 470—Description of Services

Requested and Certification. Schools

and libraries ordering

telecommunications services, Internet

access, and internal connections under

the universal service discount program

must submit a description of the

services desired to the Administrator.

Schools and libraries may use the same

description they use to meet the

requirement that they generally place to

solicit competitive bids. The

Administrator will then post a

description of the services sought on a

website for all potential competing

service providers to see and respond to

as if they were requests for proposals

(RFPS). 47 CFR 54.504(b)(2), 47 CFR

54.504(b)(3). Pursuant to section 254(h)

of the 1996 Telecommunications Act,

schools and libraries must certify under

oath that: (1) The school or library is an

eligible entity under section 254(h)((4);

(2) the services requested will be used

solely for educational purposes; (3) the

services will not be sold, resold, or

transferred in consideration for money

or any other thing of value; and (4) if the

services are being purchased as part of

an aggregated purchase with other

entities, the identifies of all copurchasers and the portion of the

services being purchased by the school

or library. 47 CFR 54.504(b)(2). For

schools ordering telecommunications

services at the individual school level

(i.e., primarily non-public schools), the

person ordering such services should

certify to the Administrator the

percentage of students eligible in that

school for the national school lunch

program (or other comparable indicator

of economic disadvantage ultimately

selected by the Commission). This

requirement arises in the context of

determining which schools are eligible

for the greater discounts being offered to

economically disadvantaged schools.

For schools ordering

telecommunications services at the

school district level, the person ordering

such services for the school district

should certify to the Administrator the

number of studies in each of its schools

eligible for the national school lunch

program (or other comparable indicator

of economic disadvantage). Schools and

libraries must also certify that they have

developed a technology plan that has

been approved by an independent entity

or the Administrator. The technology

plan should demonstrate that they will

be able to deploy any necessary

hardware, software, and wiring, and to

undertake any necessary teacher

training required to use the services

ordered pursuant to the section 254(h)

discount effectively. 47 CFR

54.504(b)(2). (No. of respondents:

50,000; hours per response: 6 hours;

total annual burden: 300,000 hours). b.

FCC form 471—Services Ordered and

Certification. Schools and libraries that

have ordered telecommunications

services, Internet access, and internal

connections under the universal service

discount program must file FCC Form

471 with the Administrator. This form

requires schools and libraries to indicate

whether funds are being requested for

an existing contract, a master contract or

whether it wishes to terminate service.

FCC Form 471 requires schools and

libraries to list all services that have

been ordered and the corresponding

discount to which it is entitled. The

school or library must also estimate its

funding needs for the current funding

year and for the following funding year.

47 CFR 54.504(b)(2). (No. of

respondents: 60,000; hours per

response: 6 hours; total annual burden:

360,000). All schools and libraries

planning to order services eligible for

universal service discounts must file

FCC Forms 470 and 471. The purpose of

this information is to help determine

which schools are eligible for the greater

discounts. Schools and libraries must

certify to the Administrator that they

have developed an approved technology

plan via form 470. Copies of the forms

may be obtained via email from:

<www.neca.org>. Obligation to respond:

Required to obtain benefits.

Frequency of Response: On occasion.

Description: FCC Form 465—

Description of Services Requested and

Certification. All health care providers

requesting services eligible for universal

service support must file a Description

of Services and Certification Form with

the Administrator. Filing this form is

the first step a health care provider must

take to participate in the universal

service program. The Administrator will

then post a description of the services

sought on a website for all potential

competing service providers to see and

respond to as if they were requests for

proposals (RFPs). (No. of respondents:

12,000; hours per response: 2.5; total

annual burden: 30,000 hours). FCC

Form 466—Services Ordered and

Certification. All health care providers

ordering services that are eligible for

universal service support must file a

Services Ordered and Certification Form

with the Administrator. 47 CFR Section

54.603(b)(4). FCC Form 466, Services

Ordered and Certification will be used

to ensure health care providers have

selected the most cost-effective method

of providing the requested services as

set forth in 47 CFR Section 54.603(b)(4).

FCC Form 466 is also the means by

which an applicant informs the

Administrator that it has entered a

contract with a telecommunications

service provider for services that are

supported under the universal services

support program. The administrator

must receive this form before it can

commit universal service funds to

support the services for which the

applicant has contracted. (No. of

respondents: 15,000; hours per

response: 1.5 hours; total annual

burden: 22,500 hours). FCC Form 467,

Receipt of Service Confirmation. All

health care providers that are receiving

supported telecommunications service

must file this form with the

Administrator. The data in the report

will be used to ensure that health care

providers are receiving the services they

have contracted for with

telecommunications service providers

so that universal service support may be

appropriate to the telecommunications

service provider pursuant to 47 CFR

Section 54.611. (No. of respondents:

12,000; hours per response: 1.5 hours;

total annual burden: 18,000 hours). FCC

Form 468, Telecommunications Service

Providers Support. All health care

providers ordering services eligible for

universal service support must file this

form. The data in the report will be used

to ensure that health care providers

have calculated the amount of universal

service support as set forth in 47 CFR

Section 54.609(b). Telecommunications

Description: Filing of FCC Form 492

and FCC Form 492A is required by

Sections 65.600 of the FCC Rules. Filing

of the FCC Form 492 on an annual basis

is required from each local exchange

carrier or group of affiliated carriers

which is not subject to Sections 61.41

through 61.49 of the Commission’s

Rules and which has filed individual

access tariffs during the enforcement

period. Each local exchange carrier or

group of affiliated carriers subject to the

previously stated sections shall file the

FCC Form 492A report with the

Commission for the calendar year.

These carriers are also required to file

within 15 months after the end of each

calendar year a report reflecting any

corrections or modifications. The forms

are necessary to enable the Commission

to monitor the access tariffs and price

cap earnings, and to enforce rate of

return prescriptions. A copy of each

report must be retained in the principal

office of the respondent and shall be

filed in such manner as to be readily

available for reference and inspection.

The date is used by staff members for

enforcement purposes and by the public

in analyzing the industry. The reports

are also used by the Commission in the

tariff review process and provide both

the Commission and the carriers with an

early warning system if rate adjustments

are necessary to correct significant

targeting errors. FCC Forms 492 and

492A are being revised to incorporate

the new OMB expiration date and to

make other adjustments. A public notice

will be issued when the forms are

available for public use. Obligation to

respond: Mandatory.

Public reporting burden for the

collections of information is as noted

above. Send comments regarding the

burden estimate or any other aspect of

the collections of information, including

suggestions for reducing the burden to
