Estimated Time per Response: 0.5 hours–4,593 hours. Frequency of Response: On occasion and biennial reporting requirements, third party disclosure requirement, and recordkeeping requirement.

Total Annual Cost: $1,500,000. Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission is not requesting that the respondent submit confidential information to the FCC. Respondents may, however, request confidential treatment of such information they believe to be confidential under 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission’s rules. 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. The Commission is requesting OMB approval for an extension (there is no change in the reporting, recordkeeping and/or third party disclosure requirements). There is VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:48 Mar 16, 2011 Jkt 223001 no change in the Commission’s burden estimates. A Bell Operating Company (BOC) may choose from among three regulatory regimes in its provision of in-region, interstate, interLATA (Local Access and Transport Area) telecommunications services. One of these regimes is the regime set forth in section 272 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended and the Commission’s implementing rules, 47 CFR 272. Under this regime, a BOC and its section 272 affiliate may not jointly own transmission and switching equipment. The separate section 272 affiliate must maintain separate books of account and have separate officers and directors. The separate section 272 affiliate may not obtain credit under arrangements that would permit the creditor to look to the assets of the BOC. The section 272 affiliate must conduct all transactions with the BOC on an arm’s length basis, pursuant to the Commission’s affiliate transaction rules, with the terms and conditions of such transactions reduced to writing and available for pubic inspection on the Internet. Section 272(d) states that companies required to maintain a separate affiliate ‘‘shall obtain and pay for a Federal/State audit every two years conducted by an independent auditor to determine whether such company has complied with this section and the regulations promulgated under this section, and particularly whether such company has complied with the separate accounting requirements under section 272(b).’’ These information collection requirements are intended to prevent discrimination, cost misallocation and other anti-competitive conduct by the BOCs.

The Third Report and Order further requires that these networks support certain LTE interfaces. These requirements were designed to ensure that networks operated in this spectrum band are interoperable with one another. The Third Report and Order also requires each operator of a 700 MHz public safety broadband network to submit a certification to the Commission’s Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (Bureau), prior to network deployment, that its network will support the required LTE interfaces. This requirement will enable the Bureau to monitor network deployment and ensure that networks are supporting the interfaces necessary to achieve interoperability. The Commission is seeking OMB approval for this new information collection which requires operators of public safety broadband networks to submit a certification to the Commission. Accurate maintenance of this data is vital in developing a regulatory framework for this network.

Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this expiring information collection after this comment period to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to obtain the three year clearance from them. There is no change in the number of respondents, burden hours and annual costs. The number of responses increased by 50 due to recalculations of the various estimates in item 12 of the supporting statement. There is no change to the reporting, recordkeeping and/or third party disclosure requirements. This information collection implements the statutory obligations of section 222 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. These regulations impose safeguards to protect customers’ CPNI against unauthorized access and disclosure. In March 2007, the Commission adopted rules, which focused on the efforts of communications service providers to prevent pretexting. These rules require providers of communications services to adopt additional privacy safeguards that, the Commission believes, will sharply limit pretexters’ ability to obtain unauthorized access to the type of personal customer information from carriers that the Commission regulates. In addition, the Commission’s rules help ensure that law enforcement will E:\FR\FM\17MRN1.SGM 17MRN1
