Needs and Uses: The rules adopted in
the Open Internet and Broadband
Industry Practices, Report and Order,
GN Docket No. 09–191, WC Docket No.
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
Information Collection Approved by
the Office of Management and Budget
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
in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section below.

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)
E:\FR\FM\07JYN1.SGM
07JYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 130 / Thursday, July 7, 2011 / Notices
requires that carriers update their cost
allocation manuals (CAMs) at least
annually; except that changes to the cost
apportionment table and the description
of time reporting procedures must be
filed at the time of implementation.
Proposed changes in the description of
time reporting procedures, the statement
concerning affiliate transactions, and
the cost apportionment table must be
accompanied by a statement quantifying
the impact of each change on regulated
operations. Changes in the description
of time reporting procedures and the
statement concerning affiliate
transactions must be quantified in
$100,000 increments at the account
level. Changes in the cost
apportionment table must be quantified
in $100,000 increments at the cost pool
level.
Moreover, filing of CAMs and
occasional updates are subject to the
uniform format and standard procedures
specified in Responsible Accounting
Officer (RAO) Letter 19. RAO Letter 26
provides guidance to carriers in revising
their CAMs to reflect changes to the
affiliate transactions rules pursuant to
the Accounting Safeguards Order (FCC
96–490). The CAM is reviewed by the
Commission to ensure that all costs are
properly classified between regulated
and nonregulated activity. Uniformity in
the CAMs helps improve the joint cost
allocation process. In addition, this
uniformity gives the Commission greater
reliability in financial data submitted by
the carriers through the Automated
Reporting Management Information
System (ARMIS).
