The proceeding this Public Notice 

initiates shall be treated as a ‘‘permitbut-disclose’’ proceeding in accordance 

with the Commission’s ex parte rules, 

47 CFR 1.1200 et seq. Persons making ex 

parte presentations must file a copy of 

any written presentation or a 

memorandum summarizing any oral 

presentation within two business days 

after the presentation (unless a different 

deadline applicable to the Sunshine 

period applies). Persons making oral ex 

parte presentations are reminded that 

memoranda summarizing the 

presentation must (1) list all persons 

attending or otherwise participating in 

the meeting at which the ex parte 

presentation was made, and (2) 

summarize all data presented and

arguments made during the 

presentation. If the presentation 

consisted in whole or in part of the 

presentation of data or arguments 

already reflected in the presenter’s 

written comments, memoranda or other 

filings in the proceeding, the presenter 

may provide citations to such data or 

arguments in his or her prior comments, 

memoranda, or other filings (specifying 

the relevant page and/or paragraph 

numbers where such data or arguments 

can be found) in lieu of summarizing 

them in the memorandum. Documents 

shown or given to Commission staff 

during ex parte meetings are deemed to 

be written ex parte presentations and 

must be filed consistent with rule 

1.1206(b). In proceedings governed by 

rule 1.49(f) or for which the 

Commission has made available a 

method of electronic filing, written ex 

parte presentations and memoranda 

summarizing oral ex parte 

presentations, and all attachments 

thereto, must be filed through the 

electronic comment filing system 

available for that proceeding, and must 

be filed in their native format (e.g., .doc, 

.xml, .ppt, searchable .pdf). Participants 

in this proceeding should familiarize 

themselves with the Commission’s ex 

parte rules. 

Synopsis 

In this document, the Federal 

Communications Commission (the FCC 

or Commission), Public Safety and 

Homeland Security Bureau, announces 

its plan to make electronic filing 

available for CALEA System Security 

and Integrity Policies and Procedures 

documents (SSI Plans), which must be 

filed by all covered providers, and must 

be updated whenever there is a change 

in those SSI Plans or following a merger 

or divestiture. SSI Plans are confidential 

filings that have been traditionally filed 

by paper with the Commission. In the 

Public Notice, the Commission 

describes the planned CALEA 

Electronic Filing System (CEFS), and 

provides details about how confidential 

SSI Plan filing via CEFS will work. We 

ask members of the public for comment 

about the CEFS, and we specifically ask 

for comment on our proposal to make 

electronic filing mandatory of SSI Plans 

instead of paper filing, and the timing 

of this requirement starting six months 

after CEFS is made available for 

voluntary filing. Commenters suggesting 

proposed alternatives should explain 

the basis for their proposals. 

Initial Regulatory Flexibility 

Certification 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 

1980, as amended (RFA), requires that a 

regulatory flexibility analysis be 

prepared for notice-and-comment 

rulemaking proceedings, unless the 

agency certifies that ‘‘the rule will not, 

if promulgated, have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities.’’ The RFA 

generally defines the term ‘‘small 

entity’’ as having the same meaning as 

the terms ‘‘small business,’’ ‘‘small 

organization,’’ and ‘‘small governmental 

jurisdiction.’’ In addition, the term 

‘‘small business’’ has the same meaning 

as the term ‘‘small business concerns’’ 

under the Small Business Act. A ‘‘small 

business concern’’ is one that: (1) is 

independently owned and operated; (2) 

is not dominant in its field of operation; 

and (3) satisfies any additional criteria 

established by the Small Business 

Administration (SBA). Accordingly, the 

Public Safety and Homeland Security 

Bureau (Bureau) has prepared this 

Initial Regulatory Flexibility 

Certification (IRFC) certifying that the 

rules and policies proposed in the 

Public Notice will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. 

In 1994, Congress enacted the 

Communications Assistance for Law 

Enforcement (CALEA), Public Law 103– 

414, 108 Stat. 4279 to define the 

statutory obligations of 

telecommunications carriers to assist 

law enforcement in executing electronic 

surveillance pursuant to court order or 

other lawful authorization. Congress 

amended the Communications Act of 

1934 to add Sections 229(b) and (c) to 

facilitate compliance and FCC oversight 

of the requirements of CALEA. CALEA 

is intended to preserve the ability of law 

enforcement agencies to conduct 

electronic surveillance while protecting 

the privacy of information outside the 

scope of the investigation. CALEA 

requires that telecommunications 

carriers and manufacturers of 

telecommunications equipment design 

their equipment, facilities, and services 

to ensure that they have the necessary 

surveillance capabilities to comply with 

legal requests for information. 

Communications services and facilities 

utilizing Circuit Mode equipment, 

packet mode equipment, facilities-based 

broadband internet access providers and 

providers of interconnected Voice over 

internet Protocol (VoIP) service are all 

subject to CALEA. These compliance 

requirements include wireless services, 

routing and soft switched services, and 

internet-based telecommunications 

present in applications used by 

telecommunications devices. 

Telecommunications carriers must 

file and maintain up-to-date System 

Security and Integrity (SSI) plans with 

the Commission, as those plans are 

described in 47 CFR 1.20005. This 

information includes a description of 

how the service provider complies with 

CALEA, and carrier contact information. 

Such information is not disclosed to the 

public. This information collection has 

been approved by the Office of 

Management and Budget, control 

number 3060–0809. 

In this Public Notice, we propose to 

modernize the Commission’s 

procedures governing the filing of 

CALEA SSI plans that 

telecommunications carriers must 

follow to submit their plans for 

Commission review. Presently, CALEA 

SSI plans are filed in paper. We propose 

to require telecommunications carriers 

to submit CALEA SSI plans 

electronically in the CALEA Electronic 

Filing System (CEFS). We also propose 

that mandatory filing begin six months 

after the Bureau announces the 

availability of CEFS for voluntary filing. 

We believe these proposals will provide 

telecommunications carriers certainty 

and streamline the process for filing 

CALEA SSI plans. 

The entities subject to the proposed 

electronic filing requirement are new 

telecommunications carriers and 

telecommunications carriers that must 

update their SSI plans, and 

consequently, the streamlined filing 

process we propose in the Public Notice 

are specific to those entities and their 

obligations under CALEA. Moreover, 

the electronic filing process does not 

impose increased reporting burdens on 

telecommunications carriers, including 

small businesses; nor do we expect the 

electronic filing process to result in 

increased costs for such businesses. The 

new electronic database will reduce 

paperwork and the time burden on 

small entities. The CEFS presents a 

public-facing web form containing data 

entry fields for collection of key 

portions of the required data that will 

help ensure filers supply necessary 

information in their SSI Plans. The use 

of the web form and electronic filing 

will reduce the time burden imposed on 

small entities when deficient paper SSI 

plans must be returned to filers for 

correction. The automated CEFS for SSI 

Plan submission replaces a cumbersome 

and space-consuming paper process, 

streamlines the review process using a 

web-based checklist system, and 

enhances recordkeeping and retrieval 

capabilities for small entities. 

Consequently, there will not be a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

Therefore, we certify that the proposed 

requirements in the Public Notice will 

not have a significant economic impact 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 119 / Wednesday, June 22, 2022 / Notices 37337 

on a substantial number of small 

entities. The Public Notice and this 

initial certification will be sent to the 

Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the SBA 

and will be published in the Federal 

Register.
