FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

[OMB 3060-1186]


Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission

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) of 1995, 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.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before December 
15, 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 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: 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.
    OMB Control Number: 3060-1186.
    Title: Rural Call Completion Recordkeeping and Reporting 
Requirements, WC Docket No. 13-39.
    Form Number: FCC Form 480.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 60 respondents; 280 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 26 hours per quarter (on average).
    Frequency of Response: Quarterly reporting requirement and 
recordkeeping requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 
sections 201, 202, 217, 218, 220(a), and 403 of the Communications Act 
of 1934, as amended.
    Total Annual Burden: 6,240 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $550,000.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission is not 
requesting respondents to submit confidential information. Any 
respondent that submits information to the Commission that they believe 
is confidential may request confidential treatment of such information 
under 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission's rules.
    Needs and Uses: The recordkeeping and reporting requirements as 
adopted apply to long-distance service providers and other covered 
providers that make the initial long-distance call path choice for more 
than 100,000 retail long-distance subscribers lines. Based on the 
Commission's experience to date with these rules, we estimate 
approximately 60 wireline, wireless, and wholesale providers will be 
required to file an electronic report with the FCC. We note that the 
number of providers this estimate replaces, 225, was also an 
approximation.
    The Commission believes that rural call completion is a continuing 
problem and that continued Commission focus on the issue is warranted. 
Given the approaching deadline to renew OMB approval for this 
information collection, and the fact that the rules underlying this 
information collection are still in effect and will remain so while 
Commission action on this matter is pending, we request an extension of 
the current approval. We expect that the Commission's proposals to 
modify these rules will be resolved within the time frame of the 
extension, at which point the Commission would seek any necessary 
modification to the current collection.
