Information Collection Being Submitted for Review and Approval to 
Office of Management and Budget

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, the Federal 
Communications Commission (FCC or the Commission) invites the general 
public and other Federal Agencies to take this opportunity to comment 
on the following information collection. Pursuant to the Small Business 
Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, the FCC seeks specific comment on how it 
might ``further reduce the information collection burden for small 
business concerns with fewer than 25 employees.'' The Commission may 
not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid Office of Management and Budget (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 comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be submitted on or before July 1, 2022.

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-XXXX.
    Title: Required Disclosure of Exclusive Marketing Arrangements in 
MTEs, Rule Sections 64.2500(e) and 76.2000(d).
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: New collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 515 respondents; 24,000,000 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 3 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Third-party disclosure requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. Statutory authority for this 
information collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. 201(b) and 628(b).
    Total Annual Burden: 1,545 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No Cost.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: No questions of a 
confidential nature are asked.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission is requesting Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) approval for an initial three-year term for this new 
information collection. In Improving Competitive Broadband Access to 
Multiple Tenant Environments, GN Docket No. 17-142, Report and Order 
and Declaratory Ruling, FCC 22-12 (Feb. 11, 2022), the Commission, 
among other things, adopted new rules requiring providers (common 
carriers and multichannel video programming distributors (MVPDs) 
subject to 47 U.S.C. 628(b)) to disclose the existence of exclusive 
marketing arrangements that they have with owners of multi-tenant 
premises (MTEs). An exclusive marketing arrangement is an arrangement, 
either written or in practice, between an MTE owner and a provider that 
gives the provider, usually in exchange for some consideration, the 
exclusive right to certain means of marketing its service to tenants of 
the MTE. The required disclosure must be included on all written 
marketing material from the provider directed at tenants or prospective 
tenants of an MTE subject to the arrangement. The disclosure must 
explain in clear, conspicuous, legible, and visible language that the 
provider has the right to exclusively market its communications 
services to tenants in the MTE, that such a right does not suggest that 
the provider is the only entity that can provide communications 
services to tenants in the MTE, and that service from an alternative 
provider may be available. The purposes of the compelled disclosure are 
to remedy tenant confusion regarding the impact of exclusive marketing 
arrangements, prevent the evasion of our exclusive access rules, and, 
in turn, promote competition for communications services in MTEs.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene Dortch,
Secretary, Office of the Secretary.
