Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission Under Delegated Authority

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), 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 Office of Management and Budget 
(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 comments should be submitted on or before December 12, 
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 contacts 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: As part of its continuing effort to reduce 
paperwork burdens, and as required by the PRA of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520), the FCC 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.
    OMB Control No.: 3060-0357.
    Title: Recognized Private Operating Agency (RPOA), 47 CFR 63.701.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 10 respondents; 10 responses.
    Estimated Time per response: 2-5 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
    Obligation To Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The 
statutory authority for this collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. 
154(j), 201, 214 and 403.

[[Page 47735]]

    Total Annual Burden: 35 hours.
    Annual Cost Burden: $18,800.
    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: This collection will be submitted as an extension 
after the 60-day comment period to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) in order to obtain the full three-year clearance.
    The Commission requests this information in order to make 
recommendations to the U.S. Department of State for granting recognized 
private operating agency (RPOA) status to requesting entities. The 
Commission does not require entities to request RPOA status. Rather, 
this is a voluntary application process for use by companies that 
believe that obtaining RPOA status will be beneficial in persuading 
foreign governments to allow them to conduct business abroad. RPOA 
status also permits companies to join the International 
Telecommunication Union's (ITU's) Telecommunications Sector, which is 
the standards-setting body of the ITU.
    The information furnished in RPOA requests is collected pursuant to 
47 CFR 63.701 of the Commission's rules. Entities submit these 
applications on a voluntary basis. The collection of information is a 
one-time collection for each respondent. Without this information 
collection, the Commission's policies and objectives for assisting 
unregulated providers of enhanced services to enter the market for 
international enhanced services would be thwarted.
