Title: Section 64.804, Extension of
Unsecured Credit for Interstate and
Foreign Communication Services to
Candidates for Federal Office.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 13 respondents; 13
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 8
hours.
Frequency of Response: Annual
reporting requirement and
recordkeeping requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Mandatory—
Statutory authority for this information
collection is contained in section 401 of
the Federal Election Campaign Act of
1971, Public Law 92–225 together with
the 1971 Revenue Act, Public Law 92–
178 and Section 64.804 of the
Commission’s Rules and Regulations.
Total Annual Burden: 104 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: This
information collection does not affect
individuals or households; thus, there
are no impacts under the privacy Act.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
Ordinarily questions of a sensitive
nature are not involved in the filed data.
The Commission contends that areas in
which information is required are fully
subject to regulation and the issue of
data being regarded as sensitive will
arise on special circumstances only. In
such circumstances, the respondent is
instructed on the appropriate
procedures to follow to safeguard data.
If respondents wish to request
confidential treatment of their
documents, they may do so under 47
CFR 0.459 of the Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: This collection will
be submitted to extend an existing
collection, with no changes, that is
expiring. Collection of this information
is required by statute—section 401 of
the Federal Election Campaign Act of
1971, Public Law 92–225, together with
the 1971 Revenue Act, Public Law 92–
178. Pursuant to Section 64.804(c) of the
Commission’s Rules and Regulations,
before extending unsecured credit, a
carrier must obtain a signed, written
application for service which shall
identify the applicant and the candidate
and state whether or not the candidate
assumes responsibility for charges, and
which shall state that the applicant or
applicants are liable for payment and
that the applicant understands that the
carrier will discontinue service under
the provision of paragraph (d) of Section
PO 00000
Frm 00070
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
41255
64.804 if payment is not rendered.
Section 64.804(f) also requires that the
records of each account, involving the
extension by a carrier of unsecured
credit to a candidate or person on behalf
of such candidate for common carrier
communications services shall be
maintained by the carrier as to show
separately, for interstate and foreign
communications services all charges,
credits, adjustments, and security, if
any, and balance receivable. Section
64.804(g) requires communications
common carriers with operating
revenues exceeding $1 million who
extend unsecured credit to a political
candidate or person on behalf of such
candidate for Federal office to report
annually seven basic items, including
balance due carrier, payment
arrangements, if any, and date, action
and status of any action taken at law for
interstate and foreign communication
services. The information collected is
used by the Commission to monitor the
extent of credit extended to Federal
office candidates.
