survey of over-the-air television homes
that covers at least two weekly periods

Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting 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. 153, 154, 201–
205, 207–209, 218, 225–227, 251–252,

Total Annual Burden: 830 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Privacy Act 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
Commission requests respondents to
submit information which respondents
believe is confidential, respondents may
request confidential treatment of such
information pursuant to 47 CFR 0.459 of
the Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
established a safety valve to ensure that
carriers experiencing rapid growth in a
given market will be able to meet
customer demand. States may use this
safety valve to grant requests from
carriers that demonstrate the following:
(1) The carrier will exhaust its
numbering resources in a market or rate
area within three months (in lieu of six
months-to-exhaust requirement); and
(2) Projected growth is based on the
carrier’s actual growth in the market or
rate area, or in the carrier’s actual
growth in a reasonably comparable
market, but only if that projected growth
varies no more than 15 percent from
historical growth in the relevant market.
The Commission lifted the ban on
service-specific and technology-specific
overlays (collectively, specialized
overlays or SOs), allowing State
commissions seeking to implement SOs
to request delegated authority to do so
on a case-by-case basis. To provide
further guidance to State commissions,
the Commission set forth the criteria
that each request for delegated authority
to implement a SO should address. This
will enable us to examine the feasibility
of SOs in a particular area, and
determine whether the Commission’s
stated goals are likely to be met if the
SO is implemented. Specifically, State
commissions should also specifically
address the following:
(1) The technologies or services to be
included in the SO;
(2) The geographic area to be covered;
(3) Whether the SO will be
transitional;
(4) When the SO will be implemented
and, if a transitional SO is proposed,
when the SO will become an all-services
overlay;

(5) Whether the SO will include takebacks;
(6) Whether there will be 10-digit
dialing in the SO and the underlying
area code(s);
(7) Whether the SO and underlying
area code(s) will be subject to rationing;
and
(8) Whether the SO will cover an area
in which pooling is taking place.
The Commission uses the information
it collects to assist the State
commissions in carrying out their
delegated authority over numbering
resources.
