    Needs and Uses: Section 302 of the 1996 Telecommunications Act 
provides for specific entry options for telephone companies wishing to 
enter the video programming marketplace, one option being to provide 
cable service over an ``open video system'' (``OVS''). The rule 
sections that are covered by this collection relate to OVS.
    OMB Control Number: 3060-1084.
    Title: Rules and Regulations Implementing Minimum Customer Account 
Record Exchange Obligations on All Local and Interexchange Carriers 
(CARE).
    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: 2,621 respondents; 574,468 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 1 minute (.017 hours) to 20 minutes 
(.33 hours).
    Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping and annual reporting 
requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The

sections 1-4, 201, 202, 222, 258, and 303(r) of the Communications Act 
of 1934, as amended; 47 U.S.C. 151-154, 201, 202, 222, 258, and 303(r).
    Total Annual Burden: 47,693 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: None.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Confidentiality is not an 
issue as individuals and/or households are not required to provide 
personally identifiable information.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Needs and Uses: In the 2005 Report and Order and Further Notice of 
Proposed Rulemaking, In the Matter of Rules and Regulations 
Implementing Minimum Customer Account Record Exchange Obligations on 
All Local and Interexchange Carriers (2005 Report and Order), CG Docket 
No. 02-386, FCC 05-29, which was released on February 25, 2005, the 
Commission adopted rules governing the exchange of customer account 
information between local exchange carriers (LECs) and interexchange 
carriers (IXCs). The Commission concluded that mandatory, minimum 
standards are needed in light of record evidence demonstrating that 
information needed by carriers to execute customer requests and 
properly bill customers is not being consistently provided by all LECs 
and IXCs. Specifically, the 2005 Report and Order requires LECs to 
supply customer account information to IXCs when: (1) The LEC places an 
end user on, or removes an end user from, an IXC's network; (2) an end 
user presubscribed to an IXC makes certain changes to her account 
information via her LEC; (3) an IXC requests billing name and address 
information for an end user who has usage on an IXC's network but for 
whom the IXC does not have an existing account; and (4) a LEC rejects 
an IXC-initiated PIC order. The 2005 Report and Order required IXCs to 
notify LECs when an IXC customer informs an IXC directly of the 
customer's desire to change IXCs. In the accompanying Further Notice of 
Proposed Rulemaking, the Commission sought comment on whether to 
require the exchange of customer account information between LECs. In 
December 2007, the Commission declined to adopt mandatory LEC-to-LEC 
data exchange requirements.
    OMB Control Number: 3060-1088.
    Title: Rules and Regulations Implementing the Telephone Consumer 
Protection Act (TCPA) of 1991, Report and Order and Third Order on 
Reconsideration, CG Docket No. 05-338, FCC 06-42.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities; Not-for-profit 
institutions; and Individuals or households.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 5,340,000 respondents; 
6,054,155 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 3 minutes (.05 hours) to 30 minutes 
(.50 hours).
    Frequency of Response: Annual, monthly, and on occasion reporting 
requirements; Recordkeeping requirement; and Third party disclosure 
requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The 
authorizing statutes for this information collection are: Telephone 
Consumer Protection Act of 1991, Public Law 102-243. 105 Stat. 2394 
(1991); Junk Fax Prevention Act, Public Law 109-21, 119 Stat. 359 
(2005).
    Total Annual Burden: 3,672,250 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $928,042.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Confidentiality is an issue 
to the extent that individuals and households provide personally 
identifiable information, which is covered under the FCC's updated 
system of records notice (SORN), FCC/CGB-1, ``Informal Complaints, 
Inquiries and Requests for Dispute Assistance,'' which became effective 
on September 24, 2014.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: The Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) for 
Informal Complaints and Inquiries was completed on June 28, 2007. It 
may be reviewed at http://www.fcc.gov/omd/privacyact/Privacy5FImpact5FAssessment.html. The Commission is in the process of 
updating the PIA to incorporate various revisions to it as a result of 
revisions to the SORN.
    Needs and Uses: On April 5, 2006, the Commission adopted a Report 
and Order and Third Order on Reconsideration, In the Matter of Rules 
and Regulations Implementing the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 
1991; Junk Fax Prevention Act of 2005, CG Docket Nos. 02-278 and 05-
338, FCC 06-42, which modified the Commission's facsimile advertising 
rules to implement the Junk Fax Prevention Act. The Report and Order 
and Third Order on Reconsideration contained information collection 
requirements pertaining to: (1) Opt-out Notice and Do-Not-Fax Requests 
Recordkeeping in which the rules require senders of unsolicited 
facsimile advertisements to include a notice on the first page of the 
facsimile that informs the recipient of the ability and means to 
request that they not receive

[[Page 21867]]

future unsolicited facsimile advertisements from the sender; (2) 
Established Business Relationship Recordkeeping whereas the Junk Fax 
Prevention Act provides that the sender, e.g., a person, business, or a 
nonprofit/institution, is prohibited from faxing an unsolicited 
advertisement to a facsimile machine unless the sender has an 
``established business relationship'' (EBR) with the recipient; (3) 
Facsimile Number Recordkeeping in which the Junk Fax Prevention Act 
provides that an EBR alone does not entitle a sender to fax an 
advertisement to an individual or business. The fax number must also be 
provided voluntarily by the recipient; and (4) Express Invitation or 
Permission Recordkeeping where in the absence of an EBR, the sender 
must obtain the prior express invitation or permission from the 
consumer before sending the facsimile advertisement.
    On October 14, 2008, the Commission released an Order on 
Reconsideration, FCC 08-239, addressing certain issues raised in 
petitions for reconsideration and/or clarification filed in response to 
the Commission's Report and Order and Third Order on Reconsideration 
(Junk Fax Order), FCC 06-42. In document FCC 08-239, the Commission 
clarified that: (1) Facsimile numbers compiled by third parties on 
behalf of the facsimile sender will be presumed to have been made 
voluntarily available for public distribution so long as they are 
obtained from the intended recipient's own directory, advertisement, or 
Internet site; (2) reasonable steps to verify that a recipient has 
agreed to make available a facsimile number for public distribution may 
include methods other than direct contact with the recipient; and (3) a 
description of the facsimile sender's opt-out mechanism on the first 
Web page to which recipients are directed in the opt-out notice 
satisfies the requirement that such a description appear on the first 
page of the Web site.
    The Commission believes these clarifications will assist senders of 
facsimile advertisements in complying with the Commission's rules in a 
manner that minimizes regulatory compliance costs while maintaining the 
protections afforded consumers under the Telephone Consumer Protection 
Act (TCPA).
    OMB Control Number: 3060-XXXX.
    Title: Carriage of Digital Television Broadcast Signals: Amendment 
to Part 76 of the Commission's Rules.
    Form Number: None.
    Type of Review: New collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 11 respondents; 11 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.25 hours (15 minutes).
    Frequency of Response: Third party disclosure requirement and 
recordkeeping requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 3 hours.
    Total Annual Costs: No cost.
    Obligation to Respond: Required in order to monitor regulatory 
compliance. The statutory authority for this collection of information 
is contained in sections 4, 303, 614 and 615 of the Communications Act 
of 1934, as amended.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality with this collection of information.
    Privacy Impact Assessment(s): No impact(s).
    Needs and Uses: The information collection imposes a notification 
requirement on certain small cable systems that become ineligible for 
exemption from the requirement to carry high definition broadcast 
signals in HD (adopted in FCC 15-65). In particular, the information 
collection requires that, beginning December 12, 2016, at the time a 
small cable system utilizing the HD carriage exemption offers any 
programming in HD, the system must give notice that it is offering HD 
programming to all broadcast stations in its market that are carried on 
its system. Cable operators must also keep records of such 
notification. This information collection requirement allows affected 
broadcast stations to monitor compliance with the requirement that 
cable operators transmit high definition broadcast signals in HD.
