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.

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.

[[Page 8200]]

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 April 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 
[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: 3060-1138.
    Title: Sections 1.49 and 1.54, Forbearance Petition Filing 
Requirements.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities.
    Number of Respondents: 11 respondents; 11 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 640 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement, 
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. 10, 151, 154(i), 154(j),155(c), 160, 201 and 303(r) of the 
Communications Act of 1934.
    Total Annual Burden: 7,040 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No cost.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission is not 
requesting respondents to submit or disclose confidential information. 
Respondents may, however, request confidential treatment for 
information they believe to be confidential under 47 CFR 0.459 of the 
Commission's rules.
    Needs and Uses: Under section 10 of the Communications Act of 1934, 
as amended, telecommunications carriers may petition the Commission to 
forbear from applying to a telecommunications carrier any statutory 
provision or Commission regulation. When a carrier petitions the 
Commission for forbearance, section 10 requires the Commission to make 
three determinations with regard to the need for the challenged 
provision or regulation. If the Commission fails to act within one year 
(extended by three additional months, if necessary) the petition is 
``deemed granted'' by operation of law. These determinations require 
complex, fact-intensive analysis, e.g., ``whether forbearance from 
enforcing the provision or regulation will promote competitive market 
conditions.'' Under the new filing procedures, the Commission requires 
that petitions for forbearance must be ``complete as filed'' and 
explain in detail what must be included in the forbearance petition. 
The Commission also incorporates by reference its rule, 47 CFR 1.49, 
which states the Commission's standard ``specifications as to pleadings 
and documents.'' Precise filing requirements are necessary because of 
section 10's strict time limit for Commission action. Also, commenters 
must be able to understand clearly the scope of the petition in order 
to comment on it. Finally, standard filing procedures inform 
petitioners precisely what the Commission expects from them in order to 
make the statutory determinations that the statute requires.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
