Synopsis

    As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3507), the FCC is notifying the public that it received final OMB 
approval on October 9, 2018, for the information collection 
requirements contained in the modifications to the Commission's rules 
in 47 CFR part 64.
    Under 5 CFR part 1320, an agency may not conduct or sponsor a 
collection of information unless it displays a current, valid OMB 
Control Number.
    No person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply 
with a collection of information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act 
that does not display a current, valid OMB Control Number. The OMB 
Control Number is 3060-1186.
    The foregoing notice is required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995, Public Law 104-13, October 1, 1995, and 44 U.S.C. 3507.

[[Page 53589]]

    The total annual reporting burdens and costs for the respondents 
are as follows:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-1186.
    OMB Approval Date: October 9, 2018.
    OMB Expiration Date: October 31, 2021.
    Title: Rural Call Completion, WC Docket No. 13-39.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 56 respondents; 112 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 1-48 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Third-party disclosure and recordkeeping 
requirements.
    Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. Statutory authority for this 
collection is contained in sections 201, 202, 217, 218, 220(a), 251(a), 
and 403 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 201, 
202, 217, 218, 220(a), 251(a), 403.

    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission is not

information they believe to be confidential under 47 CFR 0.459 of the 
Commission's rules.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Needs and Uses: The Commission has found that rural call completion 
is a continuing problem imposing needless economic and personal costs 
on local communities, and that continued Commission focus on the issue 
is warranted. The information collected through these data collections 
will be used by the Commission to determine whether long distance 
providers are complying with their sections 201 and 202 obligations to 
provide telephone service to both rural and nonrural customers on a 
just, reasonable, and nondiscriminatory basis. The Commission revised 
this collection to eliminate the existing reporting requirement and to 
require covered providers to provide rural call completion contact 
information, which will be used to facilitate industry collaboration to 
address call completion issues.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary, Office of the Secretary.
