information to the Commission. If the
Commission requests respondents to
submit information which respondents
believe is confidential, respondents may
request confidential treatment of such
information pursuant to 47 CFR 0.459 of
the Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
established a safety valve to ensure that
carriers experiencing rapid growth in a
given market will be able to meet
customer demand. States may use this
safety valve to grant requests from
carriers that demonstrate the following:
(1) The carrier will exhaust its
numbering resources in a market or rate
area within three months (in lieu of six
months-to-exhaust requirement); and
(2) Projected growth is based on the
carrier’s actual growth in the market or
rate area, or in the carrier’s actual
growth in a reasonably comparable
market, but only if that projected growth
varies no more than 15 percent from
historical growth in the relevant market.
The Commission lifted the ban on
service-specific and technology-specific
overlays (collectively, specialized
overlays or SOs), allowing State
commissions seeking to implement SOs
to request delegated authority to do so
on a case-by-case basis. To provide
further guidance to State commissions,
the Commission set forth the criteria
that each request for delegated authority
to implement a SO should address. This
will enable us to examine the feasibility
of SOs in a particular area, and
determine whether the Commission’s
stated goals are likely to be met if the
SO is implemented. Specifically, State
commissions should also specifically
address the following:
(1) The technologies or services to be
included in the SO;
(2) The geographic area to be covered;
(3) Whether the SO will be
transitional;
(4) When the SO will be implemented
and, if a transitional SO is proposed,
when the SO will become an all-services
overlay;
(5) Whether the SO will include takebacks;
(6) Whether there will be 10-digit
dialing in the SO and the underlying
area code(s);
(7) Whether the SO and underlying
area code(s) will be subject to rationing;
and
(8) Whether the SO will cover an area
in which pooling is taking place.
The Commission uses the information
it collects to assist the State
commissions in carrying out their
delegated authority over numbering
resources.

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. 3501–
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

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
An assurance of confidentiality is not

Needs and Uses: Pursuant to 47 CFR
64.703(a), Operator Service Providers
(OSPs) are required to disclose, audibly
and distinctly to the consumer, at no
charge and before connecting any
interstate call, how to obtain rate
quotations, including any applicable
surcharges. 47 CFR 64.710 imposes
similar requirements on OSPs to
inmates at correctional institutions. 47
CFR 64.709 codifies the requirements
for OSPs to file informational tariffs
with the Commission. These rules help
to ensure that consumers receive
information necessary to determine
what the charges associated with an
OSP-assisted call will be, thereby
enhancing informed consumer choice in
the operator services marketplace.

enacted on July 26, 1990.
Total Annual Burden: 18,000 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $600,000.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
An assurance of confidentiality is not
offered because this information
collection does not involve the
collection of personally identifiable
information by the government from
individuals.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No
impacts(s).
Needs and Uses: The Commission
seeks to extend OMB approval of OMB
Control Number 3060–1182 for a period
of three years. The interim rules
containing these collections, which
were adopted in the IP CTS Interim
Order, published at 78 FR 8032,
February 5, 2013, will remain in effect
until the corresponding final rules,
adopted by the Commission in the IP
CTS Reform Order, published at 78 FR
53684, August 30, 2013, take effect. On
December 6, 2013, the United States
Court of Appeals for the District of
Columbia Circuit granted in part a
motion by Sorenson Communications,
Inc. (Sorenson) seeking a stay of certain
of the final rules. See Sorenson
Communications, Inc. and CaptionCall,
LLC v. FCC, D.C. Cir., No. 13–1246,
December 6, 2013, at 1–2 (Stay Order).
Specifically, the Court stayed ‘‘the rule
adopted by the Commission prohibiting
compensation to providers for minutes
of use generated by equipment
consumers received from providers for
free or for less than $75.’’ For the
purpose of maintaining the status quo
until the court issues a final ruling in
court proceedings No. 13–1246 and
consolidated No. 13–1122, the
Commission therefore seeks to extend
OMB approval of OMB Control Number
3060–1182 for a period of three years.
