Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 90 / Wednesday, May 9, 2018 / Rules and Regulations
the FCC is notifying the public that it
received final OMB approval on May 1,
2018, for the information collection
requirements contained in the
modifications to the Commission’s rules
in 47 CFR part 63. Under 5 CFR part
1320, an agency may not conduct or
sponsor a collection of information
unless it displays a current, valid OMB
Control Number.
No person shall be subject to any
penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act that does not
display a current, valid OMB Control
Number. The OMB Control Number is
3060–0149.
The foregoing notice is required by
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
Public Law 104–13, October 1, 1995,
and 44 U.S.C. 3507.
The total annual reporting burdens
and costs for the respondents are as
follows:
OMB Control Number: 3060–0149.
OMB Approval Date: May 1, 2018.
OMB Expiration Date: May 31, 2021.
Title: Part 63, Accelerating Wireline
Broadband Deployment by Removing
Barriers to Infrastructure Investment,
WC Docket No. 17–84, FCC 17–154.
Form Number: N/A.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 58 respondents; 58
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 6
hours.
Frequency of Response: One-time
reporting requirement and third-party
disclosure requirements.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this collection of
information is contained in 47 U.S.C.
Sections 214 and 402 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended.
Total Annual Burden: 348 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost(s).
Privacy Act 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: The Commission is
seeking Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) approval for a revision to
a currently approved collection. Section
214 of the Communications Act of 1934,
as amended, requires that a carrier first
obtain FCC authorization either to (1)
construct, operate, or engage in

transmission over a line of
communications, or (2) discontinue,
reduce or impair service over a line of
communications. Part 63 of Title 47 of
the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
implements Section 214. Part 63 also
implements provisions of the Cable
Communications Policy Act of 1984
pertaining to video which was approved
under this OMB Control Number 3060–
0149. In 2009, the Commission modified
part 63 to extend to providers of
interconnected Voice of internet
Protocol (VoIP) service the
discontinuance obligations that apply to
domestic non-dominant
telecommunications carriers under
Section 214 of the Communications Act
of 1934, as amended. In 2014, the
Commission adopted improved
administrative filing procedures for
domestic transfers of control, domestic
discontinuances and notices of network
changes, and among other adjustments,
modified part 63 to require electronic
filing for applications for authorization
to discontinue, reduce, or impair service
under section 214(a) of the Act. In July
2016, the Commission revised certain
section 214(a) discontinuance
procedures. OMB has approved the
revised rules that: (1) Allow carriers to
provide notice via email or other
alternative methods to offer additional
options to customers; (2) provide for
streamlined treatment of applications to
discontinue services for which the
carrier has had no existing customers or
reasonable requests for service during
the previous 180 days; (3) make a
competitive LEC’s application for
discontinuance deemed granted on the
effective date of any copper retirement
that made the discontinuance
unavoidable; and (4) require that
applicants must provide notice of
discontinuance applications to
federally-recognized Tribal Nations.
OMB approval has not yet been sought
for the additional section 214(a)
discontinuance rules adopted in 2016
pertaining to streamlined treatment of
discontinuance applications for legacy
voice service as part of a technology
transition or outreach requirements for
such transitions, and approval of those
rules and requirements will be
addressed separately at a later date. In

(rel. Nov. 29, 2017) (Wireline

among other things, reduced the public
comment and auto-grant periods for

applications that grandfather low speed
legacy services and applications to
discontinue previously grandfathered
legacy data services. The Commission
also held that if a carrier files an
application to discontinue, reduce, or
impair a legacy voice or data service
below 1.544 Mbps for which it has had
no customers and no request for service
for at least a 30-day period immediately
preceding submission of the
application, that application will be
automatically granted on the 15th day
after its filing with the Commission,
absent Commission notice to the
contrary. The Commission will use the
information collected under these
revisions to 47 CFR part 63 to determine
if affected respondents are in
compliance with its rules and the
requirements of section 214 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended.
