copy of the FCC submission to OMB
will be displayed.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control No.: 3060–1156.
Title: 47 CFR 43.62, Annual Reporting
Requirements for U.S. Providers of
International Services and Circuits.
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved information
collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit.
Number of Respondents: 2,328
respondents; 14,606 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 1–150
hours.
Frequency of Response: Annual
reporting requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. The statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained under Sections 1, 4(i)–4(j),
11, 201–205, 211, 214, 219, 220, 303(r),
309 and 403 of the Communications Act
of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 151,
154(i)–154(j), 161, 201–205, 211, 214,
219–220, 303(r), 309, 403.
Total Annual Burden: 14,606 hours.
Annual Cost Burden: $2,400.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
In general, there is no need for
confidentiality with this collection of
information. The Commission, however,
will allow filing entities to seek
confidential treatment of their data.
Needs and Uses: The Federal
Communications Commission
(Commission) is requesting that the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) approve a revision of OMB
Control No. 3060–1156. The purpose of
the revision is to obtain OMB approval
of the annual reporting requirements
stipulated under 47 CFR 43.62 which
requires that entities providing
international services file annual circuit
capacity reports and annual traffic and
revenue reports, in a format set out in
a Filing Manual.
Upon the OMB’s approval of the
proposed changes in this information
collection, the Commission plans to
eliminate two existing information
collections from the Commission’s
inventory, OMB Control Number 3060–
0106 (47 CFR 43.61 annual traffic and
revenue reports) and OMB Control
Number 3060–0572 (47 CFR 43.82
annual circuit-status reports).
In order for carriers to comply with
annual reporting requirements
stipulated in 47 CFR 43.62, the
Commission is developing a web-based
system for filers to submit their reports.
Filers will access the filing system via
PO 00000
Frm 00018
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
223
a portal on the FCC Web site,
www.FCC.gov The software for the webbased system is now under development
and the Commission is seeking final
OMB approval for the new requirements
in 47 CFR 43.62, the new consolidated
Filing Manual and the electronic filing
of the data.
Without this collection of
information, the Commission would not
be able to ensure compliance with its
international rules and policies.
Furthermore, the Commission would
not have sufficient information to take
measures to prevent anticompetitive
conduct in the provision of
international communications services.
The Commission would not have
adequate information to respond to
failures in the U.S.-international market.
The Commission would not be able to
promote effective competition in the
global market for communications
services. The lack of effective
competition would adversely affect the
U.S. revenues in the
telecommunications industry. The
agency would not be able to comply
with the international regulations stated
in the World Trade Organization (WTO)
Basic Telecom Agreement. Carriers and
other entities outside the Commission,
such as other government agencies,
international organizations, and
academia, use the information to
analyze industry trends. Other
government agencies use the
information in merger analyses and
negotiations with foreign countries. If
the information collection was not
conducted, carriers, government
agencies and other entities would not
have accurate industry data available in
order to conduct analyses.

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality.
Needs and Uses: The information
collection entailed in a Public Safety
Answering Point (PSAP) request is
necessary to initiate E911 service, and
serves as notice to the CMRS provider.
The notification requirement on PSAPs
will be used by the carriers to verify that
wireless E911 calls are referred to
PSAPs who have the technical
capability to use the data to the caller’s
benefit. If the carrier challenges the
validity of the request, the request will
be deemed valid if the PSAP making the
request provides the following
information:
A. Cost Recovery. The PSAP must
demonstrate that a mechanism is in
place by which the PSAP will recover
its costs of the facilities and equipment
necessary to receive and utilize the E911
data elements;
B. Necessary Equipment. The PSAP
must provide evidence that it has
ordered the equipment necessary to
receive and utilize the E911 data
elements; and
C. Necessary Facilities. The PSAP
must demonstrate that it has made a
timely request to the appropriate local
exchange carrier for the necessary
trunking and other facilities to enable
E911 data to be transmitted to the PSAP.
In the alternative, the PSAP may
demonstrate that a funding mechanism
is in place, that it is E911 capable using
a Non-Call Associated Signaling
technology, and that it has made a
timely request to the appropriate LEC
for the necessary ALI database upgrade.
