ensuring that the Commission retains
access to the information it needs to
fulfill its regulatory duties.
The Commission consolidated Class A
and Class B accounts by eliminating the
current classification of carriers, which
divides incumbent LECS into two
classes for accounting purposes based
on annual revenues. Carriers subject to
Part 32’s USOA will now only be
required to keep Class B accounts.
Pursuant to the Part 32 Order, price
cap carriers may elect to use generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP)
for all regulatory accounting purposes if
they: (1) Establish an ‘‘Implementation
Rate Difference’’ (IRD) which is the
difference between pole attachment
rates calculated under Part 32 and under
GAAP as of the last full year preceding
the carrier’s initial opting out of Part 32
accounting requirements; and (2) adjust
their annually-computed GAAP-based
pole attachment rates by the IRD for a
period of 12 years after the election.
Alternatively, price cap carriers may
elect to use GAAP accounting for all
purposes other than those associated
with pole attachment rates and continue
to use the Part 32 accounts and
procedures applicable to pole
attachment rates for up to 12 years.
A price cap carrier may be required to
submit pole attachment accounting data
to the Commission for three years
following the effective date of the rule
permitting a price cap carrier to elect
GAAP accounting. If a pole attacher
informs the Commission of a suspected
problem with pole attachment rates, the
Commission will require the price cap
carrier to file its pole attachment data
for the state in question. This
requirement may be extended for an
additional three years, if necessary.
The Commission reduced the
accounting requirements for telephone
companies with a continuing obligation
to comply with Part 32 in a number of
areas. Telephone companies may: (1)
Carry an asset at its purchase price
when it was acquired, even if its value
has increased or declined when it goes
into regulated service; (2) reprice an
asset at market value after a merger or
acquisition consistent with GAAP; (3)
use GAAP principles to determine
Allowance-for-Funds-Used-During
Construction; and (4) employ the GAAP
standard of materiality. Rate-of-return
carriers receiving cost-based support
must determine materiality consistent
with the general materiality guidelines
promulgated by the Auditing Standards
Board.
Price cap carriers with a continuing
Part 32 accounting obligation must
maintain continuing property records
necessary to track substantial assets and

investments in an accurate, auditable
manner. The carriers must make such
property information available to the
Commission upon request. Carriers
subject to Part 32 must continue to
comply with the USOA’s depreciation
procedures and its rules for cost of
removal-and-salvage accounting.

Commission.
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, 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 11,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
additional information about the
information collection, contact Nicole
Ongele at (202) 418–2991.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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
Commission) invites the general public
and other Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on the
following information collections.
Comments are requested concerning:
Whether the proposed collection of

the accuracy of the Commission’s
burden estimate; ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the

Obligation to Respond: Required to

authority for this information collection
is contained in Sections 1, 2, 4(i), 201–
205 and 226(h)(1)(A) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, 47 U.S.C. 151, 152, 154(i),

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission does not anticipate
E:\FR\FM\11JYN1.SGM
11JYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 131 / Tuesday, July 11, 2017 / Notices
providing confidentiality of the
information submitted by local
exchange carriers. In particular, the
tariffs and related documents sent to the
Commission will be made public
through ETFS. If the respondents submit
information they believe to be
confidential, they may request
confidential treatment of such
information under 47 CFR 0.459 of the
Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: Incumbent local
exchange carriers (LECs) file their tariffs
and associated documents
electronically, using ETFS. ETFS has
improved the usefulness of tariff filings
for both filers and the public and made
the tariff filing process more open,
transparent, and efficient. On June 30,
2011, the Commission released a Report
and Order, WC Docket No. 10–141, FCC
11–92, determining that the benefits of
using ETFS for incumbent LEC tariff
filings would also be obtained if all
tariff filers filed electronically. Such
action benefits the public and carriers
by creating a central system providing
on-line access to all carrier tariffs and
related documents filed with the
Commission. As such, competitive LECs
(and other nondominant carriers) must
now file tariffs and associated
documents electronically.

information on operator name, mailing

a variety of changes related to cable
operators, replacing the requirement of
a letter containing approximately the
same information. Every Form 324 filing
will require information about the

required depending largely upon the
