FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS
COMMISSION
[OMB 3060–0357]
Information Collection Being Reviewed
by the Federal Communications
Commission Under Delegated
Authority
Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
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 Communications
Commission (FCC or the Commission)
invites the general public and other
Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on the
following information collection.
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 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 Office
of Management and Budget (OMB)
control number.
DATES: Written PRA comments should
be submitted on or before November 2,
2015. 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.gov and to Cathy.Williams@fcc.gov.

SUMMARY:

Jkt 235001
Title: Recognized Private Operating
Agency (RPOA), 47 CFR 63.701.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit.
Number of Respondents: 10
respondents; 10 responses.
Estimated Time per response: 2–5
hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement.
Obligation To Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. The statutory
authority for this collection is contained
in 47 U.S.C. 154(j), 201, 214 and 403.
Total Annual Burden: 35 hours.
Annual Cost Burden: $18,800.
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.
Needs and Uses: This collection will
be submitted as an extension after the
60-day comment period to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) in order
to obtain the full three-year clearance.
The Commission requests this
information in order to make
recommendations to the U.S.
Department of State for granting
recognized private operating agency
(RPOA) status to requesting entities. The
Commission does not require entities to
request RPOA status. Rather, this is a
voluntary application process for use by
companies that believe that obtaining
RPOA status will be beneficial in
persuading foreign governments to
allow them to conduct business abroad.
RPOA status also permits companies to
join the International
Telecommunication Union’s (ITU’s)
Telecommunications Sector, which is
the standards-setting body of the ITU.
The information furnished in RPOA
requests is collected pursuant to 47 CFR
63.701 of the Commission’s rules.
Entities submit these applications on a
voluntary basis. The collection of
information is a one-time collection for
each respondent. Without this
information collection, the
Commission’s policies and objectives
for assisting unregulated providers of
enhanced services to enter the market
for international enhanced services
would be thwarted.
Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary, Office of the Secretary.
