likewise help the Commission enforce
the prohibition on covered parties in the
BIA, further assuring incentive auction
participants that the auction process
will be fair and competitive. The
prohibited communication reporting
requirement required of covered parties
will enable the Commission to ensure
that no bidder gains an unfair advantage
over other bidders in its auctions and
thus enhances the competitiveness and
fairness of Commission’s auctions. The
information collected will be reviewed
and, if warranted, referred to the
Commission’s Enforcement Bureau for
possible investigation and
administrative action. The Commission
may also refer allegations of
anticompetitive auction conduct to the
Department of Justice for investigation.

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

responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 1
hour–44.4 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
and semi-annual reporting requirements
and recordkeeping requirement.

Statutory authority for this information
collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151,
153, 154, 201–205 and 251 of the
Communications Act of 1934.
Total Annual Burden: 132,384 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $3,465,570.20.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
Disaggregated, carrier specific forecast
and utilization data will be treated as
confidential and will be exempt from
public disclosure under 5 U.S.C.
552(b)(4).
Needs and Uses: The data collected
on FCC Form 502 helps the Commission
manage the ten-digit North American
Numbering Plan (NANP), which is
currently being used by the United
States and 19 other countries. Under the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, the Commission was given
‘‘exclusive jurisdictions over those
portions of the North American
Numbering Plan that pertains to the
PO 00000
Frm 00050
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
United States.’’ Pursuant to that
authority, the Commission conducted a
rulemaking in March 2000 that the
Commission found that mandatory data
collection is necessary to efficiently
monitor and manage numbering use.
The Commission is revising this
information collection to implement its
newly adopted rules that allow
interconnected Voice over Internet
Protocol (VoIP) providers to obtain
numbering resources directly from the
Numbering Administrators. The
following information collection
requirements will be contained in this
collection:
(1) Utilization/Forecast Report;
(2) Application for initial numbering
resource;
(3) Application for growth numbering
resources;
(4) Recordkeeping requirement;
(5) Notifications by state
commissions;
(6) Demonstration to state
commission; and
(7) Petitions for additional delegation
of numbering authority.
The data from this information
collection is used by the FCC, state
regulatory commissions, and the
NANPA to monitor numbering resource
utilization by all carriers using the
resource and to project the dates of area
code and NANP exhaust.
