L. No. 104–13. An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid control number. Subject to the PRA, no person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information that does not display a valid control number. Comments are requested concerning (a) 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; (b) the accuracy of the Commission’s burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d) 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. DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before September 4, 2007.

Form Number: Not Applicable. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Respondents: Individuals or households; Business or other for-profit entities; and State, local, or tribal Governments. Number of Respondents: 35,036. Estimated Time per Response: 1—10 hours. Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping; On occasion and biennial reporting requirements; Third party disclosure requirement. Total Annual Burden: 145,869 hours. Total Annual Cost: $51,187,500. Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Confidentiality is an issue to the extent that individuals’ and households’ information is contained in the OSCAR database, which is covered under the Commission’s system of records notice (SORN), FCC/CIB–1, ‘‘Informal Complaints and Inquiries.’’ The Commission believes that it provides sufficient safeguards to protect the privacy of individuals who file complaints under 47 CFR 79.2 (c). Privacy Impact Assessment: Under development. Needs and Uses: Section 258 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 directed the Commission to prescribe rules to prevent the unauthorized change by telecommunications carriers of consumers’ selections of telecommunications service providers (slamming). On March 17, 2003, the FCC released the Third Order on Reconsideration and Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, CC Docket No. 94–129, FCC 03–42 (Third Order on Reconsideration), in which the Commission revised and clarified certain rules to implement section 258 of the 1996 Act. On May 23, 2003, the Commission also released an Order (CC Docket No. 94–129, FCC 03–116) clarifying certain aspects of the Third Order on Reconsideration. The rules and requirements implementing section 258 can be found primarily at 47 CFR part 64. These rules will continue to enable the Commission to deter slamming, while protecting consumers from carriers that take advantage of consumer confusion over different types of telecommunications services.
