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:

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 Commission may not conduct or
sponsor a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) 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 OMB control number.
DATES: Written comments should be
submitted on or before April 12, 2018.
If you anticipate that you will be
submitting comments, but find it
difficult to do so within the period of
time allowed by this notice, you should
advise the contacts listed below as soon
as possible.
ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to
Nicholas A. Fraser, OMB, via email
Nicholas_A._Fraser@omb.eop.gov; and
to Nicole Ongele, FCC, via email PRA@
fcc.gov and to Nicole.Ongele@fcc.gov.
Include in the comments the OMB
control number as shown in the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION below.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For

Estimated Time per Response: 0.5–75
hours.
Frequency of Response: On-occasion
reporting and third-party disclosure
requirements.

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
No questions of a confidential nature are

complaint proceeding be withheld from
public inspection under 47 CFR 0.459.
Needs and Uses: The Commission is
requesting OMB approval for a revision
to an existing information collection. 47
CFR 1.1424 states that the procedures
for handling pole attachment
complaints filed by incumbent local
exchange carriers (ILECs) are the same
as the procedures for handling other
pole attachment complaints. Currently,
OMB Collection No. 3060–0392, among
other things, tracks the burdens
associated with utilities defending
against complaints brought by ILECs
related to unreasonable rates, terms, and
conditions for pole attachments. In

(rel. Nov. 29, 2017) (Wireline

among other things, expanded the type
of pole attachment complaints that can
be filed by ILECs, now allowing them to
file complaints related to a denial of
pole access by utilities. The
Commission will use the information
collected under this revision to 47 CFR
1.1424 to hear and resolve pole access
complaints brought by ILECs and to
determine the merits of the complaints.

Obligation to Respond: Required to

authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. 222 and 251.
Total Annual Burden: 575,448 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and 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: Section 251 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, 47 U.S.C. 251, is designed to
accelerate private sector development
and deployment of telecommunications
technologies and services by spurring
competition. Section 222(e) is also
designed to spur competition by
prescribing requirements for the sharing
of subscriber list information. These
information collection requirements are
designed to help implement certain
provisions of sections 222(e) and 251,
and to eliminate operational barriers to
competition in the telecommunications
services market. Specifically, these
information collection requirements

Jkt 244001
will be used to implement (1) local
exchange carriers’ (‘‘LECs’’) obligations
to provide their competitors with
dialing parity and non-discriminatory
access to certain services and
functionalities; (2) incumbent local
exchange carriers’ (‘‘ILECs’’) duty to
make network information disclosures;
and (3) numbering administration. The
Commission estimates that the total
annual burden of the entire collection,
as revised, is 575,840 hours. This
revision relates to a change in one of
many components of the currently
approved collection—specifically,
certain reporting, recordkeeping and/or
third-party disclosure requirements
under section 251(c)(5). In November
2017, the Commission adopted new
rules concerning certain information
collection requirements implemented
under section 251(c)(5) of the Act,
pertaining to network change
disclosures. Most of the changes to
those rules apply specifically to a
certain subset of network change
disclosures, namely notices of planned
copper retirements. In addition, the
changes remove a rule that prohibits
incumbent LECs from engaging in useful
advanced coordination with entities
affected by network changes. The
changes are aimed at removing
unnecessary regulatory barriers to the
deployment of high-speed broadband
networks. As a result of these changes,
the total annual burden hours have been
reduced by 392 hours. The Commission
estimates that the revision does not
result in any additional outlays of funds
for hiring outside contractors or
procuring equipment.

systems and information; responding to
complaints of threats, harassment,
violence, or other inappropriate
behavior at the FCC; and documenting
security violations and related activities,
including insider threats.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice serves to update and modify
FCC/OMD–16, Personnel Security Files,
to add insider threats to the list of
purposes and to make other
miscellaneous but necessary updates
and changes since its previous
publication. The substantive changes
and modifications to the previously
published version of the FCC/OMD–16
system of records include:
1. (a) Expansion of the system’s
purposes to add insider threats to the
list of safety and security criteria that
the Security Operations Center will use
to evaluate and assign employees,
contractors, and interns an appropriate
security level and to guard against the
potential risks posed by insider threats.
(b) Deletion of the President’s
Program to Eliminate Waste, Fraud, and
Abuse—there is no current information
that this program is still in existence.
2. Expansion of the categories of
individuals to include security
personnel (contractors) to the list of
