FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Information Collection Being Submitted for Review and Approval to 
the Office of Management and Budget

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice; request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3502-3520), the Federal Communications Commission invites the general 
public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment 
on the following information collection(s). Comments are requested 
concerning: whether the proposed collection of information is necessary 
for the proper performance of the functions of the Commission, 
including whether the information shall have practical utility; the 
accuracy of the Commission's burden estimates; ways to enhance the 
quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on the 
respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology; and ways to further reduce the 
information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer 
than 25 employees.
    The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. No person 
shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection 
of information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that does 
not display a valid OMB control number.

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before July 8, 2013. If you anticipate that you will be 
submitting PRA comments, but find it difficult to do so within the 
period of time allowed by this notice, you should advise the FCC 
contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Submit your PRA comments to Nicholas A. Fraser, Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB), via fax at 202-395-5167 or via Internet at 
Nicholas_A._Fraser@omb.eop.gov and to Judith B. Herman, Federal 
Communications Commission, via the Internet at Judith-b.herman@fcc.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    OMB Control Number: 3060-0975.
    Title: Sections 68.105 and 1.4000, Promotion of Competitive 
Networks in Local Telecommunications Markets Multiple Tenant 
Environments (MTEs).
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities, not-for-profit 
institutions, Federal Government and state, local or tribal government.

[[Page 34383]]

    Number of Respondents: 7,367 respondents; 7,367 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 26.3109814 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting 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. sections 151 and 224 of the Communications Act of 1934, as 
amended.
    Total Annual Burden: 193,833 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: N/A.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this information 
collection during this comment period to obtain the full, three year 
clearance from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The 
Commission is requesting OMB approval for an extension (no change in 
the reporting and/or third party disclosure requirements). The 
Commission is reporting a 451 hour burden decrease. This is due to 
adjustments over time because requests for location information would 
have already been made at most buildings.
    This collection involves information regarding the location of the 
demarcation point, antennas placed on subscriber premises, and the 
state of the market. In an October 2001 Order (FCC 22-366), the 
Commission adopted the following information collection requirements:
    (1) Prohibited carriers from entering into contracts that restrict 
or effectively restrict a property owner's ability to permit entry by 
competing carriers;
    (2) Established procedures to facilitate moving the demarcation 
point to the minimum point of entry (``MPOE'') at the building owner's 
request, and requires incumbent local exchange carriers (LECs) to 
timely disclose the location of existing demarcation points where they 
are not located at the MPOE;
    (3) Determined that, under section 224 of the Communications Act of 
1934, as amended, utilities, including LECs, must afford 
telecommunications carriers and cable service providers reasonable and 
nondiscriminatory access to conduits and rights-of-way located in 
customer buildings and campuses, to the extent such conduits and 
rights-of-way are owned or controlled by the utility; and
    (4) Extended to antennas that receive and transmit 
telecommunications and other fixed wireless signals the existing 
prohibition of restrictions that impair the installation, maintenance 
or use of certain video antennas on property within the exclusive use 
or control of the antenna user, where the user has a direct or indirect 
ownership or leasehold interest in the property.
    OMB Control Number: 3060-1135.
    Title: Rules Authorizing the Operation of Low Power Auxiliary 
Stations (including Wireless Microphones).
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities, not-for-profit 
institutions and state, local or tribal government.
    Number of Respondents: 5,100 respondents; 127,500 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: .25 hours (15 minutes).
    Frequency of Response: Third party disclosure requirement 
(disclosure and labeling requirements).
    Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. Statutory authority for this 
information collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. sections 151, 152, 
154(i), 154, 301, 302(a), 303, 304, 307, 308, 309, 316, 332, 336 and 
337 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
    Total Annual Burden: 31,875 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $1,625,000.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality as these are third party disclosure and labeling 
requirements.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this information 
collection as an extension during this comment period to obtain the 
full, three year clearance from the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB).
    This collection has two parts. The first part requires that 
manufacturers, dealers, distributors, and other entities that sell or 
lease wireless microphones must display a disclosure at the point of 
sale or lease that informs consumers of the conditions that apply to 
the operation of wireless microphones. The second part establishes a 
labeling requirement for wireless microphones capable of operating in 
the 700 MHz band that are destined for non-U.S. markets.

    OMB Control Number: 3060-1181.
    Title: Study Area Boundary Data Reporting in Esri Shapefile Format, 
DA 12-1777 and DA 13-282.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities and state, local 
or tribal government.
    Number of Respondents: 1,443 respondents; 1,443 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 26 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion and biennially reporting 
requirements.
    Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. Statutory authority for this 
information collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. section 254(b) of the 
Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
    Total Annual Burden: 7,924 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $705,935.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: No questions of a 
confidential nature are asked.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this information 
collection as an extension during this comment period. The Commission 
sought emergency OMB approval for this information collection in 
January 2013. Since emergency approvals are only granted for six 
months, we are now submitting to OMB to obtain the full, three year 
clearance from them.
    The Commission requires all incumbent local exchange carriers 
(ILECs) to file shapefile maps of their service territories in a state 
(study area). State commissions can also submit these data voluntarily 
for ILECs in their state. Shapefiles are a commonly used, digitized, 
geographic information system (GIS) format. Accurate and accessible 
maps are essential to the legitimate distribution of universal service 
support to rural, high cost carriers. After the shapefiles are uploaded 
into a web interface provided by the Commission, each ILEC (or state) 
must certify the accuracy of its study area maps. Filers must also 
submit updated shapefile maps if their study area boundaries change, 
and must recertify the accuracy of the map every two years.
