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 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 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 July 18, 
2016. 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 
PRA@fcc.gov and to Nicole.Ongele@fcc.gov.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0742.
    Title: Sections 52.21 through 52.36, Telephone Number Portability, 
47 CFR part 52, subpart (C) and CC Docket No. 95-116.
    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: 3,631 respondents; 10,002,005 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 4 minutes-10 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion and one time reporting 
requirements, recordkeeping 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, 152, 154(i), 201-205, 215, 251(b)(2), 251(e)(2) and 332 of 
the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
    Total Annual Burden: 673,460 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No cost.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission is not 
requesting respondents to submit confidential information to the 
Commission. If the respondents wish confidential treatment of their 
information, they may request confidential treatment under 47 CFR 0.459 
of the Commission's rules.
    Needs and Uses: Section 251(b)(2) of the Communications Act of 
1934, as amended, requires LECs to ``provide, to the extent technically 
feasible, number portability in accordance with requirements prescribed 
by the Commission.'' Through the LNP process, consumers have the 
ability to retain their phone number when switching telecommunications 
service providers, enabling them to choose a provider that best suits 
their needs and enhancing competition. In the Porting Interval Order 
and Further Notice, the Commission mandated a one business day porting 
interval for simple wireline-to-wireline and intermodal port requests. 
The information collected in the standard local service request data 
fields is necessary to complete simple wireline-to-wireline and 
intermodal ports within the one business day porting interval mandated 
by the Commission and will be used to comply with section 251 of the 
Telecommunications Act of 1996.
