SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060–1120.
Title: Service Quality Measure Plan
for Interstate Special Access Quarterly
Reporting Requirements.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 3 respondents; 12 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 25
hours.
Frequency of Response: Quarterly
reporting requirement, 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,
*41254 154(i), 154(j), 201–204, 214,
220(a), 251, 252, 271, 272, and 303(r).
Total Annual Burden: 300 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission anticipates that the
Bell Operating Companies (BOCs)
which are AT&T, CenturyLink, and
Verizon, may request confidentiality
protection for the special access
performance information.
Needs and Uses: In 2007, the
Commission established a framework to
govern the provision of in-region, longdistance services that allows the BOCs
to provide in-region, interstate, long
distance services either directly or
through affiliates that are neither section
272 separate affiliates nor rule 64.1903
affiliates, see Section 272 Sunset Order,
FCC 07–159. Because the BOCs are no
longer required to comply with the
section 272 structural safeguards, the
Commission established special access
performance metrics reporting
requirements, i.e., ordering,
provisioning, and repair and
maintenance to ensure that the BOCs
and their independent incumbent LEC
affiliates do not engage in non-price
discrimination in the provision of
special access services to unaffiliated
entities. The information gleaned from
these performance metrics will provide
the Commission and other interested
parties with reasonable tools to monitor
each BOC’s performance in providing
these special access services to itself
and its competitors.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS
COMMISSION
Information Collection Being Reviewed
by the Federal Communications
Commission Under Delegated
Authority, Comments Requested
Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Notice; request for comments.
AGENCY:
As part of its continuing effort
to reduce paperwork burden(s) and as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501—
3520), the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) 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 estimate(s); 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 further
ways to reduce the information burden
for 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 June 30, 2014. 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060–1064.
Title: Regulatory Fee Assessment
True-Ups.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension without
change of a currently approved
collection.
Respondents: Businesses or other forprofit organizations.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 280 respondents; 280
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 15
minutes (0.25 hours).
Frequency of Response: Annual
reporting requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits.
Total Annual Burden: 70 hours.
Total Annual Cost: None.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentially.
However, respondents may request
materials or information submitted to
the Commission be withheld from
public inspection under 47 CFR 0.459 of
the FCC’s rules.
Needs and Uses: Section 9 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, 47 CFR 9, mandates that the
Commission collect annual regulatory
fees from its regulatees. To facilitate this
effort, the Commission publishes
various Public Notices and Fact Sheets
each year that (1) announce when fees
payments are due; (2) provide the
current schedule of fee amounts for all
service categories; and (3) provide
guidance for making fee payments to the
Commission.
The Commission mails fee assessment
notifications to broadcast licensees and
commercial mobile radio service
(CMRS) licensees on an annual basis.
With these fee assessment notifications,
we also provide regulatees with a ‘‘trueup’’ opportunity to contact the FCC to
update or otherwise correct their
assessed fee amounts well before the
actual due date for payment of
regulatory fees. Providing a ‘‘true-up’’
opportunity is necessary because the

23976
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 82 / Tuesday, April 29, 2014 / Notices
data sources that were used to generate
the fee assessments may not be
complete or accurate.
The Commission offers several ways
for regulatees to ‘‘true-up’’ their
assessed fee amount. Regulatees may (1)
call the Commission’s Financial
Operations Help Desk; (2) return their
amended assessment notification or
otherwise send written correspondence
to a designated Commission mailing
address; and/or (3) use a Commissionauthorized Web site at
www.fcc.fees.com to key-in corrections
to their assessment information.

Open Internet and Broadband Industry
Practices, Report and Order (Open
Internet Order), GN Docket No. 09–191,

Needs and Uses: The rules adopted in
the Open Internet Order established a
formal complaint process to address
open Internet disputes that cannot be
resolved through other means, including
the Commission’s informal complaint
system. This process permits anyoneincluding individual end users and edge
providers-to file a claim alleging that
another party has violated a rule, and
asking the Commission to rule on the
dispute. The formal complaint rules
facilitate prompt and effective
enforcement, which is crucial to
preserving an open Internet and
providing clear guidance to
stakeholders.
