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 March 19, 
2018. 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

    OMB Control Number: 3060-1158.
    Title: Transparency Rule Disclosures, Restoring internet Freedom, 
Report and Order, WC Docket No. 17-108.
    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,

[[Page 2639]]

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.
