ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL
SAFEGUARDS:
1. The electronic records, data, and
files are maintained in the FCC
computer network databases, which are
protected by the FCC’s IT privacy
safeguards, a comprehensive and
dynamic set of IT safety and security
protocols and features that are designed
to meet all Federal IT privacy standards,
including those required by the National
Institute of Standard and Technology
(NIST) and the Federal Information
Security Modernization Act of 2014
(FISMA). The protocols cover all
electronic records, files, and data,
including those that are housed in the
FCC’s computer network databases, and
those information system databases that
are housed at the FCC’s authorized
contractor(s).
2. The paper documents and files are
stored in approved security containers,
which are locked when not in use and/
or at the end of the business day. The
security containers are located in a
secure ‘‘non-public’’ part of the Security
Operations Center (SOC) office suite. All
SOC access points are monitored and
controlled. Admittance to the SOC
office suite is limited to approved SOC
and administrative personnel. Access to
the IT offices is via a key and cardcoded door.
3. Some paper records (limited in
number and scope) are also kept in the
FCC’s regional offices and laboratory
facilities. These records are stored in
locked metal file cabinets in locked
rooms, which comply with Federal
security requirements.
4. Only SOC staff and authorized
contractors (including the contractors
who maintain the FCC’s computer
network) may have access to the
electronic data and the paper document
records and files. As a further measure,
access to these electronic records is
restricted to the SOC staff and
contractors who have a specific role in
the Personal Identity Verification (PIV)
process that requires their access to
background investigation information
and related SOC functions. The SOC
maintains an audit trail to monitor
access.
5. Furthermore, as part of these
privacy and security requirements, SOC
staff and contractors must complete
training specific to their roles to ensure
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 244001
that they are knowledgeable about how
to protect PII.
NOTIFICATION PROCEDURE:
Under the authority granted to heads
of agencies by 5 U.S.C. 552a(k), the FCC
has determined (47 CFR Section 0.561)
that this system of records is exempt
from disclosing its notification
procedure for this system of records.

HISTORY:
The FCC last gave full notice of this
system of records, FCC/OMD–16,
Personnel Security Files, by publication
in the Federal Register on September
25, 2006 (71 FR 55787, 55790).

COMMISSION
CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURE:
Under the authority granted to heads
of agencies by 5 U.S.C. 552a(k), the FCC
has determined (47 CFR Section 0.561)
that this system of records is exempt
from disclosing its contesting record
procedure for this system of records.
RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES:
Under the authority granted to heads
of agencies by 5 U.S.C. 552a (k), the FCC
has determined (47 CFR Section 0.561)
that this system of records is exempt
from disclosing its record sources for
this system of records.
EXEMPTION FROM CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE
ACT:
This system of records is exempt from
sections (c)(3), (d), (e)(4)(G), (H), and (I),
and (f) of the Privacy Act of 1974, 5
U.S.C. 552a, and from 47 CFR Sections
0.554–0.557 of the Commission’s rules.
These provisions concern the
notification, record access, and
contesting procedures described above,
and also the publication of record
sources. The system is exempt from
these provisions because it contains the
following types of information:
1. Investigative material compiled for
law enforcement purposes as defined in
Section (k)(2) of the Privacy Act;
2. Properly classified information,
obtained from another Federal agency
during the course of a personnel
investigation, which pertains to national
defense and foreign policy, as stated in
Section (k)(1) of the Privacy Act; and
3. Investigative material compiled
solely for the purpose of determining
suitability, eligibility, or qualifications
for Federal civilian employment, as
described in Section (k)(5) of the
Privacy Act, as amended. (Information
will be withheld to the extent it
identifies witnesses promised
confidentiality as a condition of
providing information during the course
of the background investigation.)

Nature of Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission is not requesting that
the respondents submit confidential
information to the FCC. 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: This collection will
be submitted as an extension to the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) in order to obtain the full three
year clearance.
In CC Docket No. 96–187, the
Commission adopted measures to
streamline tariff filing requirements for
local exchange carriers (LECs) pursuant
to the Telecommunications Act of 1996.
In order to achieve a streamlined and
deregulatory environment for LEC tariff
filings, LECs are required to file tariffs
electronically. Other carriers are
permitted to file their tariffs
electronically. There are six information
collection requirements under this OMB
control number: (1) Electronic filing
requirement; (2) requirement that
carriers desiring tariffs proposing rate
decreases to be effective in seven days
file separate transmittals; (3)
requirement that carriers identify
transmittals filed pursuant to the
streamlined provisions of the
Telecommunications Act of 1996; (4)
requirement that price cap LECs file
their Tariff Review Plans (TRPs) prior to
filing their annual access tariffs; (5)
petitions and replies; and (6) standard
protective orders.
The information collected under the
electronic filing program will facilitate
access to tariffs and associated
documents by the public, especially by
interested persons who do not have
ready access to the Commission’s public
reference room, and state and federal
regulators. Ready electronic access to
carrier tariffs should also facilitate the
compilation of aggregate data for
industry analysis purposes without
imposing new reporting requirements
on carriers. All of the requirements will
be used to ensure that LECs comply
with their obligations under the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended and that the Commission will
be able to ensure compliance within the
streamlined timeframes established by
the 1996 Act.
