    OMB Control Number: 3060-0715.
    Title: Telecommunications Carriers' Use of Customer Proprietary 
Network Information (CPNI) and Other Customer Information, CC Docket 
No. 96-115.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities, and state, 
local, or tribal government.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 3,600 respondents; 79,243,541 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: .002 hours-50 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion, annual, and one-time reporting 
requirements; recordkeeping; and third party disclosure requirements.
    Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. Statutory authority for these 
collections are contained in Section 222 of the Communications Act of 
1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. Section 222.
    Total Annual Burden: 495,507 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $4,000,000.00.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission is not 
requesting that the respondents submit confidential information to the 
FCC. Respondents may, however, request confidential treatment for 
information they believe to be confidential under 47 CFR 0.459 of the 
Commission's rules.

[[Page 43365]]

    Needs and Uses: Section 222 of the Communications Act of 1934, as 
amended, 47 U.S.C. 222, establishes the duty of telecommunications 
carriers to protect the confidentiality of its customers' proprietary 
information. This Customer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI) 
includes personally identifiable information derived from a customer's 
relationship with a provider of telecommunications services. This 
information collection implements the statutory obligations of Section 
222. These regulations impose safeguards to protect customers' CPNI 
against unauthorized access and disclosure. In March 2007, the 
Commission adopted new rules that focused on the efforts of providers 
of telecommunications services to prevent pretexting. These rules 
require providers of telecommunications services to adopt additional 
privacy safeguards that, the Commission believes, will limit 
pretexters' ability to obtain unauthorized access to the type of 
personal customer information from carriers that the Commission 
regulates. In addition, in furtherance of the Telephone Records and 
Privacy Protection Act of 2006, the Commission's rules help ensure that 
law enforcement will have necessary tools to investigate and enforce 
prohibitions on illegal access to customer records.
