except for purposes of administering the
universal service programs; and must
not disclose data in company-specific
form unless directed to do so by the
Commission.
Needs and Uses: The Commission is
requesting approval for this new
collection. In March 2016, the
Commission adopted an order reforming
its universal service support program in
areas served by rate-of-return carriers.
Connect America Fund; ETC Annual
Reports and Certifications; Establishing
Just and Reasonable Rates for Local
Exchange Carriers; Developing a Unified
Intercarrier Compensation Regime, WC
Docket Nos. 10–90, 14–58, 07–135, 05–

45, Report and Order, Order and Order
on Reconsideration, and Further Notice
of Proposed Rulemaking, FCC 16–33
(Rate-of-Return Order).
The Commission adopted a voluntary
path for rate-of-return carriers to receive
model-based universal service support
in exchange for making a commitment
to deploy broadband-capable networks
meeting certain service obligation to a
pre-determined number of eligible
locations by state. The Commission
addressed the requirement that carriers
electing model-based support must
notify the Commission of that election
and their commitment to satisfy the
specific service obligations associated
with the amount of model support. In
addition, the Commission adopted
reforms to the universal service
mechanisms used to determine support
for rate-of-return carriers not electing
model-based support. Among other such
reforms, the Commission adopted an
operating expense limitation to improve
carriers’ incentives to be prudent and
efficient in their expenditures, a capital
investment allowance to better target
support to those areas with less
broadband deployment, and broadband
deployment obligations to promote
‘‘accountability from companies
receiving support to ensure that public
investment are used wisely to deliver
intended results.’’ This information
collection addresses the new burdens
associated with those reforms.

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 September 30,

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission anticipates providing

requires ICS providers to submit data on
ICS calls, various ICS costs, company
and contract information, information
about facilities served, ICS revenues,
ancillary fees, and mandatory taxes and
fees. ICS providers are also required to
apportion direct costs for each cost
category and to explain how joint and
common costs are apportioned among
the facilities they serve and the services
they provide. The data will be used to
enable the Commission to assess the
costs related to ICS and ensure that ICS
rates and fees related to ICS rates remain
just, reasonable, and fair, as required by
sections 201 and 276 of the Act.
