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 Communication 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.

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 Communication 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 March 13, 
2017. 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 
[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: 3060-0787.
    Title: Implementation of the Subscriber Carrier Selection Changes 
Provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, Policies and Rules 
Concerning Unauthorized Changes of Consumers' Long Distance Carriers, 
CC Docket No. 94-129, FCC 07-223.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Individuals or household; Business or other for-
profit; State, Local or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 4,160 respondents; 22,330 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 30 minutes (.50 hours) to 10 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping requirement; Biennial, on 
occasion and one-time reporting requirements; Third party disclosure 
requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The 
statutory authority for the information collection requirements is 
found at Sec. 258 [47 U.S.C. 258] Illegal Changes In Subscriber Carrier 
Selections, Public Law 104-104, 110 Stat. 56.
    Total Annual Burden: 91,547 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: 51,285,000.
    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 system of 
records notice (SORN), FCC/CGB-1, ``Informal Complaints, Inquiries and 
Requests for Dispute Assistance.'' As required by the Privacy Act, 5 
U.S.C. 552a, the Commission also published a SORN, FCC/CGB-1 ``Informal 
Complaints, Inquiries and Requests for Dispute Assistance'', in the 
Federal Register on August 15, 2014 (79 FR 48152) which became 
effective on September 24, 2014.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impacts(s).
    Needs and Uses: Section 258 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 
(1996 Act) directed the Commission to prescribe rules to prevent the 
unauthorized change by telecommunications carriers of consumers' 
selections of telecommunications service providers (slamming). On March 
17, 2003, the FCC released the Third Order on Reconsideration and 
Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, CC Docket No. 94-129, FCC 
03-42 (Third Order on Reconsideration), in which the Commission revised 
and clarified certain rules to implement section 258 of the 1996 Act. 
On May 23, 2003, the Commission released an Order (CC Docket No. 94-
129, FCC 03-116) clarifying certain aspects of the Third Order on 
Reconsideration. On January 9, 2008, the Commission released the Fourth 
Report and Order, CC Docket No. 94-129, FCC 07-223, revising its 
requirements concerning verification of a consumer's intent to switch 
carriers.
    The Fourth Report and Order modified the information collection 
requirements contained in Sec.  64.1120(c)(3)(iii) of the Commission's 
rules to provide for verifications to elicit ``confirmation that the 
person on the call understands that a carrier change, not an upgrade to 
existing service, bill consolidation, or any other misleading 
description of the transaction, is being authorized.''
