SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0715. 

Title: Telecommunications Carriers’

Use of Customer Proprietary Network 

Information (CPNI) and Other Customer 

Information, CC Docket No. 96–115. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 6,017 respondents; 

137,256,125 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 0.153 

minutes. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion, 

biennial, annual, and one time reporting 

requirements; recordkeeping; and third 

party disclosure. 

Obligation to Respond: Mandatory as 

required by section 222 of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended, 47 U.S.C. 222. 

Total Annual Burden: 350,704 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $3,000,000. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No 

impacts. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

The Commission is not requesting that 

the respondents submit confidential 

information to the FCC. Respondents 

may, however, request confidential 

treatment for information they believe to 

be confidential under 47 CFR 0.459 of 

the Commission’s rules. 

Needs and Uses: Section 222 of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended, 47 U.S.C. 222, establishes a 

duty of every telecommunications 

carrier to protect the confidentiality of 

its customers’ CPNI, which includes 

personally identifiable information 

derived from a customer’s relationship 

with a provider of communications 

services. This information collection 

implements the statutory obligations of 

section 222. These regulations impose 

safeguards to protect customers’ CPNI 

against unauthorized access and 

disclosure. In March 2007, the 

Commission adopted new rules in the 

CPNI Order, CC Docket No. 96–115 et 

al., FCC 07–22, which focused on the 

efforts of providers of communications 

services to prevent pretexting. These 

rules required providers of 

communications services to adopt 

additional privacy safeguards that, the 

Commission believes, will sharply limit 

pretexters’ ability to obtain 

unauthorized access to the type of 

personal customer information from 

carriers that the Commission regulates. 

In addition, in furtherance of the 

Telephone Records and Privacy 

Protection Act of 2006, the 

Commission’s rules help ensure that law 

enforcement will have necessary tools to 

investigate and enforce prohibitions on 

illegal access to customer records.

the Commission’s rules. 

Needs and Uses: In the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended by the Telecommunications 

Act of 1996, the Federal 

Communications Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) was given ‘‘exclusive 

jurisdiction over those portions of the 

North American Numbering Plan 

(NANP) that pertains to the United 

States.’’ To ensure that the numbering 

resources of the NANP continue to be 

used efficiently, the Commission 

requires that applications to state 

commissions from carriers must 

demonstrate that certain requirements 

are met before states grant any use of the 

safety valve mechanism. It also requires 

that State commissions seeking to 

implement service-specific and/or 

technology-specific area code overlays, 

must request delegated authority to do 

so. The information collected by the 

FCC and state commissions will be used 

to assist these regulatory bodies in their 

efforts to maximize the efficiency with 

which numbering resources in the 

NANP are utilized.

Williams at (202) 418–2918 or send an 

e-mail to PRA@fcc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0027. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Title: Application for Construction 

Permit for Commercial Broadcast 

Station. 

Form Number: FCC Form 301. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities; not-for-profit institutions. 

Number of Respondents: 4,278. 

Estimated Time per Response: 2 to 4 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement; one time 

reporting requirement; third party 

disclosure requirement. 

Total Annual Burden: 10,513 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $51,350,347. 

Needs and Uses: Congress has 

mandated that after February 17, 2009, 

full-power television broadcast stations 

must transmit only in digital signals, 

and may no longer transmit analog 

signals. On December 22, 2007, the 

Commission adopted a Report and 

Order in the matter of the Third Periodic 

Review of the Commission’s Rules and 

Policies Affecting the Conversion to 

Digital Television, MB Docket No. 07–

91, FCC 07–228, to establish the rules, 

policies and procedures necessary to 

complete the nation’s transition to DTV. 

With the DTV transition deadline less 

than 14 months away, the Commission 

must ensure that broadcasters meet their 

statutory responsibilities and complete 

construction of, and begin operations 

on, the facility on their final, posttransition (digital) channel that will 

reach viewers in their authorized 

service areas by the statutory transition 

deadline, when they must cease 

broadcasting in analog. The Commission 

wants to ensure that no consumers are 

left behind in the DTV transition. 

Specifically, the Report and Order 

requires full-power commercial 

television stations to use revised FCC 

Form 301 to obtain the necessary 

Commission approvals (i.e., 

construction permits and licenses) in 

time to build their post-transition 

facility. 

• Applications for post-transition 

facilities. Full-power commercial 

television stations without a 

construction permit for their final, posttransition (DTV) facility must file an 

application to construct or modify that 

facility using FCC Forms 301. 

• Requests to transition early to posttransition channel. Full-power 

commercial television stations may 

request authority to transition early to 

their post-transition channel using FCC 

Form 301. 

• Revisions to FCC Form 301. FCC 

Form 301 was revised to accommodate 

the filing of post-transition applications. 

The FCC received approval under the 

‘‘emergency processing provisions’’ of 

the PRA on January 7, 2008. The 

requirements for this collection have not 

changed since we received approval.
