the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended; and Section 1704 of the
Omnibus Consolidated and Emergency
Supplemental Appropriations Act of
1998, 44 U.S.C. section 3504.
Total Annual Burden: 29,647 hours.
Total Annual Cost: N/A.
Privacy Impact Assessment: N/A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
Outage reports filed pursuant to Part 4
of the Commission’s rules are presumed
confidential. The information in the
filings may be shared with the
Department of Homeland Security only
under appropriate confidential
disclosure provisions. Other persons
seeking disclosure must follow the
procedures delineated in 47 CFR
sections 0.457 and 0.459 of the
Commission’s rules for requests for and
disclosure of information.
Needs and Uses: The Commission is
seeking OMB approval for a revision of
this information collection in order to
obtain the full three year approval from
OMB. The Commission is reporting a
9,909 hours program change increase in
the Commission’s previous burden
estimates. The increase in the burden
estimates is due to adoption of FCC 12–
22, Report and Order, extending the Part
4 outage reporting requirements to
interconnected Voice over Internet
Providers (VoIP) which are new
respondents subject to the requirements
of this information collection.
Specifically, the Commission
extended mandatory outage reporting
rules to facilities-based and nonfacilities-based interconnected VoIP
service providers and applied the
current Part 4 definition of ‘‘outage’’ to
outages of interconnected VoIP service,
covering the complete loss of service
and/or connectivity to customers at least
30 minutes duration that potentially
affects at least 900,000 user minutes of
interconnected VoIP services and results
in complete loss of service; or
potentially affects any special offices
and facilities such as a 911 facility.
Collecting data on significant outages
of interconnected VoIP services will
help the Commission to monitor
compliance with the statutory 911
obligations of interconnected VoIP
service providers, as well as help ensure
the Nation’s current and future 911
systems are as reliable and resilient as
possible both on a day-to-day basis and
in times of a major emergency. The
Commission recognizes that consumers
are increasingly relying on Internet
Protocol (IP)-based technologies as
E:\FR\FM\03MYN1.SGM
03MYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 86 / Thursday, May 3, 2012 / Notices
substitutes for communications services
provided by older communications
technologies, and increasingly use
interconnected VoIP services in lieu of
traditional telephone service. As of
December 31, 2010, 31 percent of the
more than 87 million residential
telephone subscriptions in the United
States were users of interconnected
VoIP providers—an increase of 21
percent (from 22.4 million to 27.1
million) from the end of 2009.
Additionally, the Commission estimates
that approximately 31 percent of
residential wireline 911 calls are made
using VoIP service.
The information collected is
administered by the FCC’s Public Safety
and Homeland Security Bureau (PSHSB)
which maintains an Internet Web site
portal for the electronic submission of
the required outage reports. In addition,
provision is made for the submission of
required data by other than electronic
means in cases where electronic
submission is not feasible. In cases
where specified offices and facilities
(other than 911 offices and facilities) are
submitted within 120 minutes of an
outage to the Commission’s duty officer
(a post staffed 24 hours a day) in the
FCC’s Communications and Crisis
Management Center in Washington, DC.
