Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality with

Needs and Uses: In the Cable
Television Consumer Protection and
Competition Act of 1992, Congress
directed the FCC to adopt rules
governing the disposition of home
wiring owned by a cable operator when
a subscriber terminates service. The
rules at 76.800 et seq., implement that
directive. The intention of the rules is
to clarify the status and provide for the
disposition of existing cable operatorowned wiring in single family homes
and multiple dwelling units upon the
termination of a contract for cable
service by the home owner or MDU
owner. Section 76.613(d) requires that
when Multichannel Video Programming
Distributors (MVPDs) cause harmful
signal interference MVPDs may be
required by the District Director and/or
Resident Agent to prepare and submit a
report regarding the cause(s) of the
interference, corrective measures
planned or taken, and the efficacy of the
remedial measures.

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

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 February 25,
2019. If you anticipate that you will be
submitting comments, but find it
difficult to do so within the period of

requirements.
Total Annual Burden: 255 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $1,200,000.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No

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 Section
0.459 of the Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: Section 64.904(a)
states that each incumbent LEC required
to file a cost allocation manual shall
elect to either have an attest engagement
performed by an independent auditor
every two years, covering the prior two
year period, or have a financial audit
performed by an independent auditor
biennially. In either case, the initial
engagement shall be performed in the
calendar year after the carrier is first
required to file a cost allocation manual.
See Section 64.904(a)–(c). Instead of
requiring mid-sized carriers to incur the
expense of a biennial attestation
engagement, they now file a certification
with the Commission stating that they
are in compliance with 47 CFR 64.901
of the Commission’s rules, which sets
out the rules regarding allocation of
costs. The certification must be signed,
under oath, by an officer of the
incumbent LEC, and filed with the
Commission on an annual basis. Such
certification of compliance represents a
less costly means of enforcing
compliance with our cost allocation
rules. See 47 CFR 64.905 of the
Commission’s rules. The requirements
are imposed to ensure that the carriers
are properly complying with
Commission rules. They serve as an
important aid in the Commission’s
monitoring program. Section 64.905
requires mid-sized LECs to file a
certification with the Commission
stating that they are complying with
section 64.901. The certification must be
signed, under oath, by an officer of the
mid-sized LEC, and filed with the
Commission on an annual basis at the
time that the mid-sized incumbent LEC
files the annual reports required by
section 43.21(e)(2).
