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 September 
6, 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 Cathy Williams, FCC, via email to 
[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 No.: 3060-0572.
    Title: International Circuit Status Reports, 47 CFR 43.82.
    Form No.: Not applicable.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities.
    Number of Responses and Respondents: 75 respondents and 75 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour-50 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Annual reporting requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The 
Commission has authority for this information collection pursuant to 
the Communications Act of 1934 Sections 4, 48, 48 Stat. 1066, as 
amended, 47 U.S.C. 154 unless otherwise noted. Interpret or apply 
Sections 211, 219, 48 Stat. 1073, 1077, as amended; 47 U.S.C. 211, 219 
and 220.
    Total Annual Burden: 736 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: None.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: In general there is no need 
for confidentiality with this collection of information.
    Needs and Uses: The Federal Communications Commission 
(``Commission'') is requesting a three-year extension of the delegated 
authority information collection under OMB Control No. 3060-0572 
titled, ``International Circuit Status Reports, 47 CFR 43.82'' from the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
    Section 47 CFR 43.82 of the Commission's rules requires that each 
common carrier engaged in providing facilities-based international 
telecommunications services between the United States and foreign 
points shall file annually the status of its circuits used to provide 
international services. The annual circuit-status report, required by 
Section 43.82, provides the Commission, the carriers, and others 
information on how U.S. international carriers use their circuits. The 
Commission uses the information from the circuit-status reports to 
ensure that carriers with market power do not use their access to 
circuit capacity to engage in any anti-competitive behavior. The 
Commission also uses the reports to implement the requirement in 
Section 9 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, that carriers 
pay annual regulatory fees for each of the bearer circuits they own.
