The Commission’s implementing rules are codified at 47 CFR 64.1600–64.1601. Total Annual Burden: 142 hours. Total Annual Cost: No cost. Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: An assurance of confidentiality is not offered because this information collection does not require the collection of personally identifiable information from individuals. Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s). Needs and Uses: The Commission amended rules requiring that carriers honor privacy requests to state that § 64.1601(b) of the Commission’s rules shall not apply when calling party number (CPN) delivery is made in connection with a threatening call. Upon report of such a threatening call by law enforcement on behalf of the threatened party, the carrier will provide any CPN of the calling party to law enforcement and, as directed by law enforcement, to security personnel for the called party for the purpose of identifying the party responsible for the threatening call. Carriers now have a recordkeeping requirement in order to quickly provide law enforcement with information relating to threatening calls. The Commission also amended rules to allow non-public emergency services to receive the CPN of all incoming calls from blocked numbers requesting assistance. The Commission believes amending its rules to allow non-public emergency services access to blocked Caller ID promotes the public interest by ensuring timely provision of emergency services without undermining any countervailing privacy interests. Carriers now have a recordkeeping requirement in order to provide emergency service providers with the information they need to assist callers. Federal Communications Commission.

    Needs and Uses: On April 20, 2017, the Commission adopted the 
Business Data Services Report and Order, FCC 17-43, which establishes a 
new regulatory framework for business data services. Under this 
framework, price cap incumbent LECs are no longer subject to price cap 
regulation of their: (a) packet-based business data services; (b) time-
division multiplexing (TDM) transport business data services; (c) TDM 
business data services with bandwidth in excess of a DS3; and (d) DS1
