Estimated Time per Response: 2 hours
to 410 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
and one time reporting requirements,
recordkeeping requirement and third
party disclosure requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151, 152,

and 332 of the Communications Act of
1934, as amended.
Total Annual Burden: 672,516 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $13,424,320.
Privacy Impact Assessment: N/A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission is not requesting
respondents to submit confidential
information to the Commission. If the
respondents wish confidential treatment
of their information, they may request
confidential treatment under 47 CFR
0.459 of the Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will submit this expiring information

the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB). There is no change to the

no change in the Commission’s previous

Section 251(b)(2) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, requires LECs to ‘‘provide, to
the extent technically feasible, number
portability in accordance with
requirements prescribed by the
Commission.’’ Through the LNP
process, consumers have the ability to
retain their phone number when
switching telecommunications service
providers, enabling them to choose a
provider that best suits their needs and
enhancing competition. In the Porting
Interval Order and Further Notice, the
Commission mandated a one business
day porting interval for simple wirelineto-wireline and intermodal port
requests.
The information collected in the
standard local service request data fields
is necessary to complete simple
wireline-to-wireline and intermodal
ports within the one business day
porting interval mandated by the
Commission and will be used to comply
with Section 251 of the
Telecommunications Act of 1996.

amend its long-form application to
identify the tribal land it intends to
serve and attach a certification from the

wireless carriers seeking to provide

each winning bidder must do.
In addition, it also requires that a
winning bidder seeking a credit in
excess of the amount calculated under
the Commission’s bidding credit must
submit certain information; and a final
winning bidder receiving a higher credit
must provide within 15 days of the third
anniversary of the initial grant of its
license, file a certification that the credit
amount was spent on infrastructure to
provide wireless coverage to qualifying
tribal lands, which also includes a final
report prepared by an independent
auditor verifying that the infrastructure
costs are reasonable to comply with our
build-out requirements.
