Form Number: N/A. Type of Review: New Collection. Respondents: Business or other forprofit. Number of Respondents and Responses: 1,278 respondents; 54,932 responses. Estimated Time per Response: 1–600 hours. Frequency of Response: Occasional third party disclosure, recordkeeping, and reporting. PO 00000 Frm 00039 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. Statutory authority for this information collection is contained 47 U.S.C. section 224. Total Annual Burden: 683,169 hours. Total Annual Cost: No cost. Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: No confidentiality regarding recordkeeping or reporting. No known confidentiality between third parties. Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s). Needs and Uses: The new rules are needed to implement the statutory mandate that communications companies (attachers) should be able to place facilities on utility poles. The new rules set a series of deadlines or ‘‘timeline’’ to govern the process by which permission is sought by attachers and granted by utility pole owners. In practice, attachers must submit detailed applications that cause the utility to survey and perform an engineering analysis on the poles where access is requested. The post-survey pole preparation work (make-ready) triggers further paperwork burdens. These include the pole owner notifying all known entities with existing attachments and the requesting attacher of the scheduled work. Other notification occurs if the make-ready period is interrupted, and if a pole owner asserts its right to one 15day extension of time. Pole owners both perform make ready and coordinate with existing attachers over many weeks. Also, the Order adopts rules intended to make the timeline deadlines largely self-enforcing. Utilities are required to post a list of approved contractors. If a deadline is not met, new attachers may hire a listed, utility-approved contractor to perform pole attachment surveys or preparation in lieu of the utility using its own workers. If an attacher uses a utility-approved contractor, it must notify the utility, and invite the utility to send a representative to oversee the work. This self-enforcing mechanism removes some of the burden from the complaint process, which is often too slow to provide meaningful relief when pole access is denied or unreasonably delayed. Finally, the Order also broadens the existing enforcement process by permitting incumbent local exchange carriers (LECs) to file complaints alleging that the attachment rates demanded by electric utilities are unreasonable. The Order also encourages incumbent LECs that benefit from lower pole attachment costs to file data at the Commission that demonstrate that the benefits are being passed on to consumers.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Title: Sections 1.1420; 1.1422; and 1.1424 Pole Attachment Access 
Requirements.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: New Collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 1,278 respondents; 54,932 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 1-600 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Occasional third party disclosure, 
recordkeeping, and reporting.
    Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. Statutory authority for this 
information collection is contained 47 U.S.C. section 224.
    Total Annual Burden: 683,169 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No cost.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: No confidentiality regarding 
recordkeeping or reporting. No known confidentiality between third 
parties.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Needs and Uses: The new rules are needed to implement the statutory

sought by attachers and granted by utility pole owners. In practice, 
attachers must submit detailed applications that cause the utility to 
survey and perform an engineering analysis on the poles where access is 
requested.
    The post-survey pole preparation work (make-ready) triggers further 
paperwork burdens. These include the pole owner notifying all known 
entities with existing attachments and the requesting attacher of the 
scheduled work. Other notification occurs if the make-ready period is 
interrupted, and if a pole owner asserts its right to one 15-day 
extension of time. Pole owners both perform make ready and coordinate

    Also, the Order adopts rules intended to make the timeline 
deadlines largely self-enforcing. Utilities are required to post a list 
of approved contractors. If a deadline is not met, new attachers may

utility, and invite the utility to send a representative to oversee the 
work. This self-enforcing mechanism removes some of the burden from the 
complaint process, which is often too slow to provide meaningful relief 
when pole access is denied or unreasonably delayed.

complaints alleging that the attachment rates demanded by electric 
utilities are unreasonable. The Order also encourages incumbent LECs 
that benefit from lower pole attachment costs to file data at the 
Commission that demonstrate that the benefits are being passed on to 
consumers.
