SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

document announces that, on November 

5, 2024, OMB approved, until November 

30, 2027, the information collection 

requirements adopted in (i) the 

Commission’s Second Report and Order 

(2022 Second Report and Order) in PS 

Docket Nos. 15–80 and 13–75, ET 

Docket No. 04–35, FCC 22–88, adopted 

on November 17, 2022, and released on 

November 18, 2022, and, (ii) the 

Commission’s Report and Order (2023 

Report and Order) in PS Docket Nos. 

23–5 and 15–80, WC Docket No. 18– 

336, FCC 23–57, adopted on July 20, 

2023, and released on July 21, 2023. 

In the 2022 Second Report and Order, 

the Commission adopted rule 

amendments to 47 CFR 4.9 (by revising 

paragraphs (a)(4) and (c)(2)(iv); adding a 

heading for paragraph (e); and revising 

paragraphs (e)(1)(v), (f)(4), (g)(1)(i), and 

(h)) that required review by OMB 

pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction 

Act (PRA). Those amendments were 

included in the Final Rules section of 

2022 Second Report and Order with an 

amendatory instruction that they be 

delayed indefinitely (because they 

required OMB approval before they 

could be made effective). The 2023 

Report and Order also adopted 

amendments to 47 CFR 4.9 (by revising 

paragraphs (a)(4), (c)(2)(iv), (e)(1)(v), 

(f)(4), and (g)(1)(i) and adding paragraph 

(i)) that required review by OMB 

pursuant to the PRA. Those 

amendments were included in the Final 

Rules section of 2023 Report and Order 

with an amendatory instruction that 

they be delayed indefinitely (because 

they required OMB approval before they 

could be made effective). The 

amendments to § 4.9 adopted in the 

2023 Report and Order are additive to 

and to not conflict with the 

amendments to § 4.9 adopted in the 

2022 Second Report and Order. 

The amendments identified herein 

adopted in the 2022 Second Report and 

Order and 2023 Report and Order were 

submitted for OMB review as a single 

information collection. Because OMB 

has approved this information 

collection, the Commission is setting an 

effective date for the above-cited rule 

revisions of 120 days following 

publication of this document in the 

Federal Register.

Synopsis 

As required by the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507), 

the FCC is notifying the public that it 

received final OMB approval on 

November 5, 2024, for the information 

collection requirements contained in the 

modifications to the Commission’s rules 

in 47 CFR part 4. 

Under 5 CFR part 1320, an agency 

may not conduct or sponsor a collection 

of information unless it displays a 

current, valid OMB Control Number. 

No person shall be subject to any 

penalty for failing to comply with a 

collection of information subject to the 

Paperwork Reduction Act that does not 

display a current, valid OMB Control 

Number. The OMB Control Number is 

3060–0484. 

The foregoing notification is required 

by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995, Public Law 104–13, October 1, 

1995, and 44 U.S.C. 3507. 

The total annual reporting burdens 

and costs for the respondents are as 

follows: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0484. 

OMB Approval Date: November 5, 

2024. 

OMB Expiration Date: November 30, 

2027. 

Title: Part 4 of the Commission’s 

Rules Concerning Disruptions to 

Communications. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit; Not-for-profit institutions; State, 

Local or Tribal Government. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 3,224 respondents; 201,848 

responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 1 

hour–2 hours (average per response). 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

and Annual Reporting Requirements 

and Recordkeeping Requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Mandatory 

and Voluntary. The statutory authority 

for this information collection is 

contained in sections in sections 1, 4(i), 

4(j), 4(n), 4(o), 201(b), 214, 218, 

251(e)(3), 251(e)(4), 254, 301, 303(b), 

303(g), 303(r), 307, 309(a), 309(j), 316, 

332, and 403 of the Communications 

Act of 1934, as amended, and section 

706 of the Telecommunications Act of 

1996, 47 U.S.C. 151, 154(i)–(j), (n), & (o), 

201(b), 214, 218, 251(e)(3), 251(e)(4),

309(a), 332, 403, 615, 615a–1, and 1302. 

Total Annual Burden: 398,319 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: No Cost. 

Needs and Uses: Through this 

information collection, data received 

facilitates the Commission’s monitoring, 

analysis, and investigation of the 

reliability and security of voice, paging, 

and interconnected voice over internet 

protocol communications services. Data 

received through this information 

collection also helps the Commission 

identify and act on potential threats to 

our Nation’s telecommunications 

infrastructure. Moreover, the 

Commission uses this information 

collection to identify the duration, 

magnitude, root causes, contributing 

factors with respect to significant 

outages; and to identify outage trends; 

support service restoration efforts; and 

help coordinate with public safety 

officials during times of crisis. The 

Commission uses the information 

collection to draw lessons learned in 

order to foster a better understanding of 

significant outages’ root causes, and to 

explore preventive measures in the 

future so as to mitigate the potential 

scale and impact of such outages. 

Harmonizing the existing notification 

requirements for covered 911 service 

providers and originating service 

providers (OSPs) will simplify 

compliance for providers and reduce 

confusion for 911 special facilities. 

Among other harmonization 

requirements, the initial notification 

requirements are intended to provide 

preliminary notice of a potential 

problem to a 911 special facility so that 

the 911 special facility can, as quickly 

as possible, mitigate the impacts of the 

outage, and alert the public to 

alternative means of emergency 

services. 

The new requirement that covered 

988 service providers and OSPs notify 

988 special facilities about outages that 

potentially affect them serves these 

same purposes with respect to the 

availability of the 988 Lifeline, 

including providing notice to the 

Substance Abuse and Mental Health 

Services Administration, the Veterans 

Affairs Administration, and the 988 

Lifeline administrator when an outage 

that potentially affects a 988 special 

facility occurs.

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The NMFS Office of 

International Affairs, Trade, and 

Commerce is revising its current 

implementing regulations to improve 

the uniformity and reliability of seafood 

inspection services by adopting 

recognized best practices for inspection. 

NMFS has not significantly revised or 

updated the existing regulations since 

first issuing them in 1971, though it has 

modified many operating procedures 

since implementation of the current 

regulations. NMFS anticipates that these 

revisions will benefit the seafood 

industry by streamlining seafood 

inspection services and providing 

improved, more accurate inspection 

results. 

DATES: This final rule is effective 

January 15, 2025.
