networks for the purposes of public 

safety and the national defense and 

security, including homeland security. 

If less frequent reporting were required, 

outages having a detrimental effect on 

the public and outages that could 

provide valuable network reliability 

information could escape Commission 

monitoring efforts. 

(2) In addition, some of the 

information collected could constitute 

‘‘Critical Infrastructure Information,’’ as 

defined in 6 U.S.C. 131, which would be 

shared with the Department of 

Homeland Security in furtherance of its 

missions to protect the United States 

from terrorist activity and to otherwise 

protect domestic security. Less frequent 

reporting could jeopardize the ability of 

the Commission and the Department of 

Homeland Security to meet their 

respective legal duties to the American 

people. 

This information collection consists 

of reports of outages of wireline 

communications, paging and wireless 

communications, cable circuit switched 

telephony and satellite 

communications. If the Commission did 

not receive the information in these 

reports for analysis and further 

investigation, the Commission would 

have considerable difficulty 

determining the state of network 

reliability and security. It would have to 

depend on delayed, incomplete and 

second-hand information and analysis 

as a basis for recommending any future 

Commission action that might be 

needed to enhance the reliability and 

security of the Nation’s communications 

infrastructure. Without this information 

collection, the Commission would have 

difficulty determining the 

implementation and efficacy of its own 

and industry’s present and future 

recommendations for enhancing 

reliability and security. Furthermore, 

the Commission would be less able to 

spot and act on reliability and security 

weaknesses as they begin to appear in 

the rapidly changing networks. 

Thus, the reporting requirement 

facilitates Commission monitoring of 

the reliability and security of 

communications service being provided 

and enables it to take swift remedial 

action, as required. The reporting 

requirement is also essential to the 

Commission’s mission of ensuring that 

the public is protected from major 

disruptions to telephone services. 

This information collected has been 

used by the Commission staff to 

determine weaknesses in network 

reliability and to work with industry to 

remedy any such weaknesses.
