Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission is not requesting
respondents to submit or disclose
confidential information. However, in
certain circumstances, respondents may
voluntarily choose to submit
confidential information pursuant to
applicable Commission confidentiality
rules.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will submit this expiring information
collection after this comment period to
obtain the full, three year clearance from
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB). The Commission is requesting
approval for an extension (no change in
the reporting, recordkeeping and/or
third party disclosure requirements).
There are no changes to the
Commission’s previous burden
estimates. Section 251 is designed to
accelerate private sector and
deployment of telecommunications
technologies and services by spurring
competition. In order to foster
competition in the local telephone
market, the Telecommunications Act of
1996 requires incumbent local exchange
carriers (incumbent LECs) to share
certain elements of their local telephone
networks, providing them to other
carriers at reasonable prices on an
unbundled basis. These ‘‘unbundled
network elements (UNEs)’’ are necessary
for competition because the only
alternative, building entire new
telephone networks, would be
prohibitively expensive for new
entrants. In Order FCC 03–36, the
Commission adopted rules and
regulation designed to eliminate
operation barriers to competition in the
telecommunications services market
and implement certain provisions of
section 251, including the UNE
obligations of incumbent LECs. In the
Order on Remand, FCC 04–290, the
Commission responded to a decision by
the United States Court of Appeals for
the District of Columbia that vacated the
‘‘sub-delegation’’ of authority to state
commissions and vacated and remanded
certain nationwide impairment findings,
including mass market switching and
dedicated transport.
OMB Control Number: 3060–1138.

Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. sections 10,
151, 154(i), 154(j), 155(c), 160, 201 and
303(r) of the Communications Act of
1934.
Total Annual Burden: 6,400 hours.
Total Annual Cost: N/A.
Privacy Impact Assessment: N/A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission is not requesting
respondents to submit or disclose
confidential information. Respondents
may, however, request confidential
treatment for information they believe to
be confidential under 47 CFR 0.459 of
the Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will submit this expiring information
collection after this comment period to
obtain the full, three year clearance from
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB). The Commission is requesting
approval for an extension (no change in
the reporting, recordkeeping and/or
third party disclosure requirements).
Under section 10 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, telecommunications carriers
may petition the Commission to forbear
from applying to a telecommunications
carrier any statutory provision or
Commission regulation. When a carrier
petitions the Commission for
forbearance, section 10 requires the
Commission to make three
determinations with regard to the need
for the challenged provision or
regulation. If the Commission fails to act
within one year (extended by three
additional months, if necessary) the
petition is ‘‘deemed granted’’ by
operation of law. These determinations
require complex, fact-intensive analysis,
e.g., ‘‘whether forbearance from
enforcing the provision or regulation
will promote competitive market
conditions.’’ Under the new filing
procedures, the Commission requires
that petitions for forbearance must be
‘‘complete as filed’’ and explain in
detail what must be included in the
forbearance petition. The Commission
also incorporates by reference its rule,
47 CFR 1.49, which states the
Commission’s standard ‘‘specifications
as to pleadings and documents.’’ Precise
filing requirements are necessary
because of section 10’s strict time limit
for Commission action. Also,
commenters must be able to understand
clearly the scope of the petition in order
to comment on it. Finally, standard
filing procedures inform petitioners
PO 00000
Frm 00040

precisely what the Commission expects
from them in order to make the statutory
determinations that the statute requires.

Needs and Uses: The Commission is
now submitting this collection to the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for approval of a new collection.
On May 14, 2012, the Commission
released the Third Order on
Reconsideration of the USF/ICC Report
and Order, FCC 12–52, which revised
section 54.1009(a) of the Commission’s
rules. In adopting the rules, the
Commission comprehensively reformed
and modernized the universal service
and intercarrier compensation systems
to ensure that all Americans have access
to robust, affordable broadband and
advanced mobile services. Concluding
that mobile voice and broadband
services provide unique consumer
benefits, and that promoting the
universal availability of such services is
a vital component of the Commission’s
universal service mission, the
Commission created the Mobility Fund.
Mobility Fund Phase I support will be
awarded through a nationwide reverse
auction to determine the entities that
PO 00000
Frm 00041

would receive support and the amount
of support they would receive. For
Phase I of the Mobility Fund, the
Commission will provide up to $300
million in one-time support to
immediately accelerate deployment of
networks for mobile broadband services
in unserved areas.
The Commission also established a
separate and complementary one-time
Tribal Mobility Fund Phase I to ward up
to $50 million in additional universal
service funding to Tribal Areas,
including Alaska, to accelerate mobile
broadband availability in these remote
and underserved areas. The goal of
Mobility Fund Phase I is to extend the
availability of mobile voice service on
networks that provide 3G or better
performance and to accelerate the
deployment of 4G wireless networks in
areas where it is cost effective to do so
with one-time support. Winning bidders
that elect to provide supported services
over 3G networks will have two years to
meet their requirements and those that
elect to deploy 4G networks will have
three years and will receive three
disbursements of support during the
two or three year period.
