(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

    OMB Control Number: 3060-1158.
    Title: Transparency Rule Disclosures, Restoring Internet Freedom, 
Report and Order, WC Docket No. 17-108, FCC 17-166.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities, Not-for-profit 
entities; State, local, or Tribal governments.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 1,919 respondents; 1,919 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 26 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement; Third 
party disclosure requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. Statutory authority for these 
collections is contained in Section 257 of the Communications Act of 
1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. Section 257.
    Total Annual Burden: 49,894 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $560,000.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality with this information collection.
    Needs and Uses: The Restoring Internet Freedom Report and Order 
(Restoring Internet Freedom Order) revises the information collection 
requirements applicable to Internet service providers (ISPs). The Open 
Internet Order, adopted in 2010, required ISPs to disclose certain 
network management processes, performance characteristics, and other 
attributes of broadband Internet access service. These disclosure 
requirements were significantly increased by the Title II Order, 
adopted in 2015. The Restoring Internet Freedom Order eliminates the 
additional collection imposed by the Title II Order and adds a few 
discrete elements to the Open Internet Order's information collection 
requirements. The Restoring Internet Freedom Order requires an ISP to 
publicly disclose network management practices, performance, and 
commercial terms of its broadband internet access service sufficient to 
enable consumers to make informed choices regarding the purchase and 
use of such services, and entrepreneurs and other small businesses to 
develop, market, and maintain internet offerings. As part of these 
disclosures, the rule requires ISPs to disclose their congestion 
management, application-specific behavior, device attachment rules, and 
security practices, as well as any blocking, throttling, affiliated 
prioritization, or paid prioritization in which they engage. The rule 
also requires ISPs to disclose performance characteristics, including a 
service description and the impact of non-broadband internet access 
services data services. Finally, the rule requires ISPs to disclose the 
price of the service, privacy policies, and redress options. The rule 
requires ISPs to make such disclosure available either via a publicly 
available, easily accessible website or through transmittal to the 
Commission, which will make such disclosures available via a publicly 
available, easily accessible website. The information collection will 
assist the Commission in its statutory obligation to report to Congress 
on market entry barriers in the telecommunications market. The 
Commission anticipates that the revised disclosures will empower 
consumers and businesses with information about their broadband 
internet access service, protecting the openness of the internet. 
Although this collection was bifurcated in 2016 with respect to fixed 
and mobile ISPs, the Commission seeks to have this collection encompass 
both fixed and mobile ISPs.
