Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 130 / Thursday, July 7, 2011 / Notices
Protection Act (TCPA) of 1991, CG
Docket No. 02–278.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities; Individuals or
households; Not-for-profit institutions.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 50,151 respondents;
147,409,229 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: .004
hours (15 seconds) to 1 hour.
Frequency of Response:
Recordkeeping requirement; On
occasion and one-time reporting
requirement; Third party disclosure
requirement; Annual reporting
requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. The statutory
authority for the information collection
requirements is found in the Telephone
Consumer Protection Act of 1991
(TCPA), Public Law 102–243, December
20, 1991, 105 Stat. 2394, which added
Section 227 of the Communications Act
of 1934, [47 U.S.C. 227] Restrictions on
the Use of Telephone Equipment.
Total Annual Burden: 684,433 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $3,989,700.
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.’’ As required by the Privacy
Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Commission also
published a SORN, FCC/CGB–1
‘‘Informal Complaints and Inquiries’’, in
the Federal Register on December 15,
2009 (74 FR 66356) which became
effective on January 25, 2010. A system
of records for the do-not-call registry
was created by the Federal Trade
Commission (FTC) under the Privacy
Act. The FTC published a notice in the
Federal Register describing the system.
See 68 FR 37494, June 24, 2003.
Privacy Impact Assessment: Yes. The
Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) was
completed on June 28, 2007. It may be
reviewed at: https://www.fcc.gov/omd/
privacyact/
Privacy_Impact_Assessment.html. The
Commission is in the process of
updating the PIA to incorporate various
revisions made to the SORN.
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 companyspecific 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.
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’’
registry 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.
On December 4, 2007, the
Commission released the DNC NPRM
seeking comment on its tentative
conclusion that registrations with the
Registry should be honored indefinitely,
unless a number is disconnected or
reassigned or the consumer cancels his
registration.
On June 17, 2008, the Commission
released a Report and Order in CG
Docket No. 02–278, FCC 08–147,
amending the Commission’s rules under
the Telephone Consumer Protection Act
(TCPA) to require sellers and/or
telemarketers to honor registrations with
the National Do-Not-Call Registry so
that registrations will not automatically
expire based on the current five year
registration period. Specifically, the
Commission modifies § 64.1200(c)(2) of
its rules to require sellers and/or
telemarketers to honor numbers
registered on the Registry indefinitely or
until the number is removed by the
database administrator or the
registration is cancelled by the
consumer.
In accordance with the Do-Not-Call
Improvement Act of 2007, the
Commission revises its rules to
minimize the inconvenience to
consumers of having to re-register their
preferences not to receive telemarketing

of the National Do-Not-Call Registry to
protect consumer privacy rights.

Needs and Uses: The rules adopted in
the Open Internet and Broadband
Industry Practices, Report and Order,

07–52, FCC 10–201, require all
providers of broadband Internet access
service to publicly disclose accurate
information regarding the network
management practices, performance,
and commercial terms of their
broadband Internet access services
sufficient for consumers to make
informed choices regarding use of such
services and for content, application,
service, and device providers to
develop, market, and maintain Internet
offerings. The rules ensure transparency
and continued Internet openness, while
making clear that broadband providers
can manage their networks effectively.
The Commission anticipates that due to
the extent and nature of their services
small entities may have less of a burden
and larger entities may have more of a
burden than the average compliance
burden.

Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Federal Communications
Commission has received Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approval for the following public
information collection(s) pursuant to the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501–3520). An agency may not
conduct or sponsor a collection of
information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number,
and no person is required to respond to
a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number. Comments concerning the
accuracy of the burden estimate(s) and
any suggestions for reducing the burden
should be directed to the person listed

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060–0470.
OMB Approval Date: June 23, 2011.
Expiration Date: June 30, 2014.
Title: Section 64.901, Allocation of
Cost; Section 64.903, Cost Allocation
Manuals; and RAO Letters 19 and 26.
Form Number: N/A.
Estimated Annual Burden: 2
responses; 200 hours per response; 400
hours total per year.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151, 154, 201
–205, 215, and 218 –220.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission is not requesting that
respondents submit confidential
information to the Commission.
Respondents who believe certain
information to be of a proprietary nature
may solicit confidential treatment in
accordance with the procedures
described in 47 CFR 0.459.
Needs and Uses: The Commission has
received three-year approval for a
revision to information collection 3060–
0470. The Commission revised the
information collection to decrease the
number of respondents as a result of a
Commission order granting numerous
carriers forbearance from compliance to
the relevant rules. Specifically, in a
Memorandum Opinion and Order in
WC Docket No. 07–21 (FCC 08–120) the
Commission forbore from many of its
cost allocation rules as they apply to the
former Bell Operating Companies
(BOCs). Therefore, there are fewer
respondents affected by the
requirements of these rule sections. The
decrease in respondents also caused a
decrease in the hour burden for this
information collection.
Section 64.901 requires carriers to
separate their regulated costs from nonregulated costs using the attributable
cost method of cost allocation. Carriers
must follow the principles described in
section 64.901. Carriers subject to
section 64.901 are also subject to the
provisions of 47 CFR sections 32.23 and
32.27 of the Commission’s rules. Section
64.903(a) requires each local exchange
carrier with annual operating revenues
that equal or exceed the indexed
revenue threshold, as defined in 47 CFR
section 32.9000, to file with the
Commission a manual containing
information regarding its allocation of
costs between regulated and nonregulated activities. Section 64.903(b)
