FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501-3520), the Federal Communication Commission (FCC or Commission) 
invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this 
opportunity to comment on the following information collections. 
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 estimate; 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 PRA that does not display a valid OMB 
control number.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before April 14, 
2014. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find 
it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice, 
you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Cathy Williams, FCC, via email 
PRA@fcc.govPRA@fcc.gov and to 
Cathy.Williams@fcc.govCathy.Williams@fcc.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the 
information collection, contact Cathy Williams at (202) 418-2918.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0463.
    Title: Telecommunications Relay Services and Speech-to-Speech 
Services for Individuals with Hearing and Speech Disabilities, Report 
and Order and Declaratory Ruling, CG Docket No. 03-123, FCC 07-186.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities; State, Local 
and Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 5,733 respondents and 5,898 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 1--15 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Annual and on-occasion reporting 
requirements; Recordkeeping requirement; Third Party Disclosure 
requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The 
statutory authority can be found at section 225 of the Communications 
Act, 47 U.S.C. 225. The law was enacted on July 26, 1990, as Title IV 
of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Public Law 101-336, 104 
Stat. 327.
    Total Annual Burden: 28,085 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: None.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: An assurance of 
confidentiality is not offered because this information collection does 
not require the collection of personally identifiable information from 
individuals.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impacts(s).
    Needs and Uses: The Commission is submitting this modified 
information collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to 
transfer burden hours and costs associated with regulations under 
section 225 of the Communications Act (Act), as previously approved 
under OMB control number 3060-1111, to this information collection. In 
2007, the Commission released the Section 225/255 VoIP Report and 
Order, published at 72 FR 43546, extending the disability access 
requirements that apply to telecommunications service providers and 
equipment manufacturers under sections 225 and 255 of the Act to 
interconnected voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) service providers 
and equipment manufacturers. As a result, under rules implementing 
section 225 of the Act, interconnected VoIP service providers are 
required to publicize information about telecommunications relay 
services (TRS) and 711 abbreviated dialing access to TRS (``public 
access to information''). Specifically, the burden hours and costs 
associated with this public access information rule are being 
transferred from OMB control number 3060-1111 to this collection.
