SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060–0971.
Title: Section 52.15, Request for ‘‘For
Cause’’ Audits and State Commission’s
Access to Numbering Resource
Application Information.
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for–
profit.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 2,105 respondents; 63,015
responses.
Estimated Time Per Response: .1667
hours – 3 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement and third party
disclosure requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. sections 153,
154, 201–205, 207–209, 218, 225 – 227,
251–252, 271 and 332.
Total Annual Burden: 10,515 hours.
Total Annual Cost: N/A.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission requires state
commissions to treat carriers’
applications for initial or growth
numbering resources as well as their
forecast and utilization data as
confidential. Carrier numbering
resource applications and audits of
carrier compliance will be treated as
confidential and will be exempt from
public disclosure under 5 U.S.C.
552(b)(4). In those instances where a
state ‘‘open records’’ statute prevents the
state from providing confidential
protection for such sensitive carrier
information the Commission will work
with the state commission to enable it
to obtain access to such information in
a manner that addresses the state’s need
for this information and also protects
the confidential nature of the carrier’s
sensitive information.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will submit this expiring information
collection to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) after this comment
period to obtain the full three year
clearance from them. There is no change
in the reporting and/or third party
disclosure requirements.
To ensure that the numbering
resources of the North American
Numbering Plan are used efficiently, the
Commission authorized ‘‘for cause’’
audits as part of its comprehensive audit
plan to verify carrier compliance with
Federal rules, under 47 CFR 52.15, and
orders and industry guidelines. It also
provided state commissions with access
to copies of carrier’s applications for
numbering resources. To request a ‘‘for

cause’’ audit, the North American
Numbering Plan Administrator
(NANPA), the Pooling Administrator or
a state commission must draft a request
to the auditor stating the reason for the
request, such as misleading or
inaccurate data, and attach supporting
documentation. Requests for copies of
carriers’ applications for numbering
resources are made directly to the
carriers by the state commissions.
The information collected will be
used by the FCC, state commissions,
and NANPA and the Pooling
Administrator to verify the validity and
accuracy of carrier data and to assist
state commissions in carrying out their
numbering responsibilities, such as area
code relief.
