FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

Notice of Public Information 

Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the 

Federal Communications Commission 

for Extension Under Delegated 

Authority, Comments Requested 

[month day, year]. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications 

Commission, as part of its continuing 

effort to reduce paperwork burden 

invites the general public and other 

Federal agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on the 

following information collection(s), as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act (PRA) of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501 – 

3520. 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 estimate; (c) ways 

to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information collected; (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, 

and (e) ways to further reduce the 

information collection burden for small 

business concerns with fewer than 25 

employees. 

The FCC may not conduct or sponsor 

a collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid 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 (PRA) that 

does not display a currently valid OMB 

control number. 

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction 

Act (PRA) comments should be 

submitted on or before November 23, 

2010. If you anticipate that you will be 

submitting PRA comments, but find it 

difficult to do so within the period of 

time allowed by this notice, you should 

advise the FCC contact listed below as 

soon as possible. 

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to 

Nicholas A. Fraser, Office of 

Management and Budget, via fax at 202– 

395–5167 or via the Internet at 

Nicholas_A._Fraser@omb.eop.gov and 

to the Federal Communications 

Commission via email to PRA@fcc.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Benish Shah, Office of Managing 

Director, (202) 418–7866. For additional 

information, contact Benish Shah, OMD, 

418–7866, benish.shah@fcc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0384. 

Title: Sections 64.901, 64.904 and 

64.905, Auditor’s Attestation and 

Certification. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other for– 

profit entities. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 1 respondent, 1 response. 

Estimated Time per Response: 35–250 

hours. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority is contained in Sections 1, 4, 

201–205, 215, and 218–220 of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended, 47 U.S.C. Sections 151, 154, 

201–205, 215, and 218–220. 

Frequency of Response: On–occasion, 

biennial, and annual reporting 

requirements. 

Total Annual Burden: 255 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $1,200,000. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Nature of Extent of Confidentiality: 

This collection does not address 

information of a confidential nature. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this expiring information 

collection to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) after this comment 

period to obtain the three year clearance 

from them. There is no change to the 

reporting requirements. The 

Commission is reporting a 1,280 hourly 

burden reduction. This reduction is due 

to fewer respondents and therefore the 

total annual burden hours have been 

reduced. 

Section 64.904(a) requires each 

incumbent LEC required to file a cost 

allocation manual is required to either 

have an attest engagement performed by 

an independent auditor every two years, 

covering the prior two year period, or 

have a financial audit performed by an 

independent auditor biennially. In 

either case, the initial engagement shall 

be performed in the calendar year after 

the carrier is first required to file a cost 

allocation manual. See Section 

64.904(a)–(c). Instead of requiring mid– 

sized carriers to incur the expense of a 

biennial attestation engagement, they 

now file a certification with the 

Commission stating that they are in 

compliance with 47 CFR 64.901 of the 

Commission’s rules. The certification 

must be signed, under oath, by an 

officer of the incumbent LEC, and filed 

with the Commission on an annual 

basis. Such certification of compliance 

represents a less costly means of 

enforcing compliance with our cost 

allocation rules. See 47 CFR 64.905 of 

the Commission’s rules. 

The requirements are imposed to 

ensure that the carriers are properly 

complying with Commission rules. 

They serve as an important aid in the 

Commission’s monitoring program.
