[OMB 3060-0791]


Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission Under Delegated Authority

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) 
invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this 
opportunity to comment on the following information collections. 
Comments are requested concerning: 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; the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; 
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 ways to further reduce the 
information collection burden on 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 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 PRA comments should be submitted on or before May 5, 
2015. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find 
it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice, 
you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Nicole Ongele, FCC, via email 
[email protected] and to [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the 
information collection, contact Nicole Ongele at (202) 418-2991.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0791.
    Title: Section 32.7300, Accounting for Judgments and Other Costs 
Associated with Litigation.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 2 respondents; 2 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 4 to 36 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and 
recordkeeping requirement.
    Obligation To Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this collection of information is contained in 
47 U.S.C. 151, 152, 154, 161, 201-205 and 218-220 of the Communications 
Act of 1934, as amended.
    Total Annual Burden: 40 hours.
    Annual Cost Burden: No cost.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality. The Commission is not requesting that respondents 
submit confidential information to the FCC.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission adopted accounting rules that 
require carriers to account for adverse federal antitrust judgments and 
post-judgment special charges. With regard to settlements of such 
lawsuits there will be a presumption that carriers can recover the 
portion of the settlement that represents the avoidable costs of 
litigation; provided that the carrier makes a required showing. To 
receive recognition of its avoided cost of litigation a carrier must 
demonstrate, in a request for special relief, the avoided costs of 
litigation by showing the amount corresponding to the additional 
litigation expenses discounted to present value, that the carrier 
reasonably estimates it would have paid if it had not settled. 
Settlement costs in excess of the avoided costs of litigation are 
presumed not recoverable unless a carrier rebuts that presumption by 
showing the basic factors that enticed the carrier to settle and 
demonstrating that ratepayers benefited from the settlement.
