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 the Commission) invites the general public and other federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the following information collection. Comments are requested concerning: Whether the 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 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 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number.

Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission

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 the 
Commission) invites the general public and other federal agencies to 
take this opportunity to comment on the following information 
collection. Comments are requested concerning: Whether the 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 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 Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) control number.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before June 24, 
2016. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find 
it difficult to do so within the period of

[[Page 24096]]

time allowed by this notice, you should advise the contact listed below 
as soon as possible.

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

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the 
information collection, contact Cathy Williams at (202) 418-2918.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0975.
    Title: Sections 68.105 and 1.4000, Promotion of Competitive 
Networks in Local Telecommunications Markets Multiple Tenant 
Environments (MTEs).
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit, not-for-profit 
institutions, and state, local and tribal government.
    Number of Respondents: 6,916 respondents; 249,833 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: .5-10 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and third 
party disclosure requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 
U.S.C. 151 and the Telecommunications Act of 1996, Public Law 104-104.
    Total Annual Burden: 178,297 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No cost.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality with this collection of information.
    Needs and Uses: This information will facilitate efficient 
interaction between premises owners and local exchange carriers (LECs) 
regarding the placement of the demarcation point, which marks the end 
of wiring under control of the LEC and the beginning of wiring under 
the control of the premises owner or subscriber. The demarcation point 
is a critical point of interconnection where competitive LECs can gain 
access to the inside wiring of the building to provide service to 
customers in the building. This collection will also help ensure that 
customer-end antennas used for telecommunications service comply with 
the Commission's limits on radiofrequency exposure, and it will provide 
the Commission with information on the state of the market. In short, 
this information will be used to foster competition in local 
telecommunications markets by ensuring that competing 
telecommunications providers are able to provide services to customers 
in multiple tenant environments.
