SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB Control Number: 3060-0519.
    Title: Rules and Regulations Implementing the Telephone Consumer 
Protection Act (TCPA) of 1991, CG Docket No. 02-278.
    Form Number: Not Applicable.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities; Individuals or 
households; Not-for-profit institutions.
    Number of Respondents: 54,497.
    Estimated Time per Response: .004 hours (15 seconds) -3 hours 
(average per response).
    Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping requirement; On occasion 
reporting requirement; Third party disclosure requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Mandatory.
    Total Annual Burden: 1,851,600 hours.
    Total Annual Costs: $4,360,500.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Confidentiality is an issue 
to the extent that individuals and households provide personally 
identifiable information, which is covered under the FCC's system of 
records notice (SORN), FCC/CGB-1, ``Informal Complaints and 
Inquiries.''
    Privacy Impact Assessment: Yes. The Privacy Impact Assessment was 
completed on June 28, 2007. It may be reviewed at: https://www.fcc.gov/
omd/privacyact/Privacy_Impact_Assessment.html.
    Needs and Uses: The reporting requirements included under this OMB 
Control Number 3060-0519 enable the Commission to gather information 
regarding violations of the Do-Not-Call Implementation Act (Do-Not-Call 
Act).
    If the information collection was not conducted, the Commission 
would be unable to track and enforce violations of the Do-Not-Call Act. 
The Do-Not-Call rules provide consumers with several options for 
avoiding most unwanted telephone solicitations.
    This national do-not-call registry supplements the current company-
specific do-not-call rules for those consumers who wish to continue 
requesting that particular companies not call them. Any company, which 
is asked by a consumer, including an existing customer, not to call 
again must honor that request for five (5) years. The Commission 
retains the current calling time restrictions of 8 a.m. until 9 p.m.
    However, a provision of the Commission's rules allows consumers to 
give specific companies permission to call them through an express 
written agreement. Nonprofit organizations, companies with whom 
consumers have an established business relationship, and calls to 
persons with whom the telemarketer has a personal relationship are 
exempt from the ``do-not-call'' requirements.
    On September 21, 2004, the Commission released the Safe Harbor 
Order establishing a limited safe harbor in which persons will not be 
liable for placing autodialed and prerecorded message calls to numbers 
ported from a wireline service within the previous 15 days. The 
Commission also amended its existing national do-not-call registry safe 
harbor to require telemarketers to scrub their lists against the do-
not-call database every 31 days.
    OMB Control Number: 3060-1078.
    Title: Rules and Regulations Implementing the Controlling the 
Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003, CG 
Docket No. 04-53.
    Form Number: Not applicable.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities; Not-for-profit 
institutions.
    Number of Respondents: 11,027,600.
    Estimated Time per Response: 1-11 hours (average per response).
    Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping requirement; On occasion 
reporting requirements; Third party disclosure requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Mandatory.
    Total Annual Burden: 115,645,100 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $37,105,283.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: An assurance of 
confidentiality is not offered because this information collection does 
not require the collection of personally identifiable information from 
individuals.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Needs and Uses: The reporting requirements included under this OMB 
Control Number 3060-1078 enables the Commission to collect information 
regarding violations of the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited 
Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003 (CAN-SPAM Act). This information 
is used to help wireless subscribers stop receiving unwanted commercial 
mobile services messages. On August 12, 2004, the Commission released 
an Order, Rules and Regulations Implementing the Controlling the 
Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003, CG 
Docket No. 04-53, FCC 04-194, adopting rules to prohibit the sending of 
commercial messages to any address referencing an Internet domain name 
associated with wireless subscribers' messaging services, unless the 
individual addressee has given the sender express prior authorization. 
The information collection requirements consist of 47 CFR 64.3100 
(a)(4), (d), (e) and (f) of the Commission's rules.

    Federal Communications Commission.
