FCC Rcd 15538 (2014). The Commission
has received OMB approval for most of
the information collections required by
these orders. At a later date the
Commission plans to submit additional
revisions for OMB review to address
other reforms adopted in the orders
(e.g., 47 CFR 54.313(a)(11)).
Here, the Commission proposes to
revise FCC Form 481 and its
instructions to reflect information
collection requirements that the
Commission recently adopted. This
includes reporting and certification
requirements for price cap carriers that
elected to receive Phase II model-based
support, reporting and certification
requirements for recipients of rural
broadband experiment support, a
reasonably comparable rate certification
for broadband for recipients of high-cost
support, and an E-rate bidding
certification for Phase II model-based
support and rate-of-return carrier highcost recipients. The Commission also
proposes to add templates for some of
these obligations and to add a template
for the existing obligation that certain
ETCs report data regarding newly served
community anchor institutions.
Additionally, the Commission proposes
to delete the outdated information
collection for Phase II model-based
support elections and to adjust the
number of respondents for the state
certification letter and annual reporting
requirements to reflect that rural
broadband experiment recipients must
now meet these requirements. The
Commission also proposes to modify the
existing Phase II certification
requirement to reduce the hours to
reflect that some aspects of the existing
certifications have been superseded by
the new proposed requirements and to
adjust the number of respondents to
reflect the number of price cap carriers
that accepted Phase II model-based
support. Finally, the Commission
proposes to make a number of nonsubstantive changes to FCC Form 481
and its instructions.

reporting requirement, recordkeeping

Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. 10, 151, 154(i),
154(j), 155(c), 160, 201 and 303(r) of the
Communications Act of 1934.
Total Annual Burden: 7,040 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 or disclose
confidential information. Respondents
may, however, request confidential
treatment for information they believe to
be confidential under 47 CFR 0.459 of
the Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: Under section 10 of
the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, telecommunications carriers
may petition the Commission to forbear
from applying to a telecommunications
carrier any statutory provision or
Commission regulation. When a carrier
petitions the Commission for
forbearance, section 10 requires the
Commission to make three
determinations with regard to the need
for the challenged provision or
regulation. If the Commission fails to act
within one year (extended by three
additional months, if necessary) the
petition is ‘‘deemed granted’’ by
operation of law. These determinations
require complex, fact-intensive analysis,
e.g., ‘‘whether forbearance from
enforcing the provision or regulation
will promote competitive market
conditions.’’ Under the new filing
procedures, the Commission requires
that petitions for forbearance must be
‘‘complete as filed’’ and explain in
detail what must be included in the
forbearance petition. The Commission
also incorporates by reference its rule,
47 CFR 1.49, which states the
Commission’s standard ‘‘specifications
as to pleadings and documents.’’ Precise
filing requirements are necessary
because of section 10’s strict time limit
for Commission action. Also,

commenters must be able to understand
clearly the scope of the petition in order
to comment on it. Finally, standard
filing procedures inform petitioners
precisely what the Commission expects
from them in order to make the statutory
determinations that the statute requires.

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
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

will facilitate efficient interaction
between premises owners and local
exchange carriers (LECs) regarding the
placement of the demarcation point,
which marks the end of wiring under
control of the LEC and the beginning of
wiring under the control of the premises
owner or subscriber. The demarcation
point is a critical point of
interconnection where competitive
LECs can gain access to the inside
wiring of the building to provide service
to customers in the building. This
collection will also help ensure that
customer-end antennas used for
telecommunications service comply
with the Commission’s limits on
radiofrequency exposure, and it will
provide the Commission with
information on the state of the market.
In short, this information will be used
to foster competition in local
telecommunications markets by
