disk or CD ROM you submit. This
ensures that you can be identified as the
submitter of the comment and allows
EPA to contact you in case EPA cannot
read your comment due to technical
difficulties or needs further information
on the substance of your comment. Any
identifying or contact information
provided in the body of a comment will
be included as part of the comment that
is placed in the official public docket,
and made available in EPA’s electronic
public docket. If EPA cannot read your
comment due to technical difficulties
and cannot contact you for clarification,
EPA may not be able to consider your
comment.
Use of the www.regulations.gov Web
site to submit comments to EPA
electronically is EPA’s preferred method
for receiving comments. The electronic
public docket system is an ‘‘anonymous
access’’ system, which means EPA will
not know your identity, email address,
or other contact information unless you
provide it in the body of your comment.
In contrast to EPA’s electronic public
docket, EPA’s electronic mail (email)
system is not an ‘‘anonymous access’’
system. If you send an email comment
directly to the Docket without going
through www.regulations.gov, your
email address is automatically captured
and included as part of the comment
that is placed in the official public
docket, and made available in EPA’s
electronic public docket.

Jkt 238001
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 April 26,
2016. 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
Nicole Ongele, FCC, via email PRA@
fcc.gov and to Nicole.Ongele@fcc.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
additional information about the
information collection, contact Nicole
Ongele at (202) 418–2991.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060–0719.
Title: Quarterly Report of Local
Exchange Carriers Listing Payphone
Automatic Number Identifications
(ANIs).
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 400 respondents; 1,600
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 3.5
hours (8 hours for the initial
submission; 2 hours per subsequent
submission—for an average of 3.5 hours
per response).
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, 154, 201–
PO 00000
Frm 00047
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990
205, 215, 218, 219, 220, 226 and 276 of
the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended.
Total Annual Burden: 5,600 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission is not requesting
respondents to submit confidential
information to the Commission. If the
respondents wish confidential treatment
of their information, they may request
confidential treatment under 47 CFR
0.459 of the Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
adopted rules and policies governing
the payphone industry under section
276(b)(1)(A) of the Telecommunications
Act of 1996 (the Act) and established ‘‘a
per call compensation plan to ensure
that all payphone service providers are
fairly compensated for each and every
completed intrastate and interstate
call.’’ Pursuant to this mandate, and as
required by section 64.1310(d) of the
Commission’s rules, Local Exchange
Carriers (LECs) must provide to carriers
required to pay compensation pursuant
to section 64.1300(a), a quarterly report
listing payphone ANIs. Without
provision of this report, resolution of
disputed ANIs would be rendered very
difficult. Carriers would not be able to
discern which ANIs pertain to
payphones and therefore would not be
able to ascertain which dial-around calls
were originated by payphones for
compensation purposes. There would be
no way to guard against possible fraud.
Without this collection, lengthy
investigations would be necessary to
verify claims. The report allows carriers
to determine which dial-around calls
are made from payphones. The
information must be provided to third
parties. The requirement would be used
to ensure that LECs and the carriers
required to pay compensation pursuant
to 47 CFR 64.1300(a) of the
Commission’s rules comply with their
obligations under the
Telecommunications Act of 1996.
