Synopsis

    As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3507), the Commission is notifying the public that it received final 
OMB approval on April 15, 2019 for the information collection 
requirements contained in the modifications to the Commission's pole 
attachment access rules in 47 CFR 1.1411, 1.1412, and 1.1415.
    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 3060-1151.
    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 affected 
respondents are as follows:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-1151.
    OMB Approval Date: April 15, 2019.
    OMB Expiration Date: April 30, 2022.
    Title: Sections 1.1411, 1.1412, 1.1413, and 1.1415 Pole Attachment 
Access Requirements.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 1,142 respondents; 145,538 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.5-6 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement, 
recordkeeping requirement, and third party disclosure requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 
U.S.C. 224.
    Total Annual Burden: 554,410 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $6,750,000.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: No questions of a 
confidential nature are asked. However, respondents may request that 
materials or information submitted to the Commission in a complaint 
proceeding be withheld from public inspection under 47 CFR 0.459.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Needs and Uses: The Commission received OMB approval for a revision 
to an existing information collection. OMB Collection No. 3060-1151, 
among other things, tracks the burdens associated with cable and 
telecommunications attachers gaining access to utility poles for pole 
attachments. In Accelerating Wireline Broadband Deployment by Removing 
Barriers to Infrastructure Investment, Third Report and Order and 
Declaratory Ruling, FCC 18-111, adopted a new framework for the vast 
majority of pole attachments governed by federal law by instituting a 
``one-touch make-ready'' (OTMR) regime, in which a new attacher may 
elect to perform all simple work to prepare a pole for new wireline 
attachments in the communications space. This new framework includes 
safeguards to promote coordination among parties and ensures that new 
attachers perform the work safely and reliably. The Commission retained 
the existing multi-party pole attachment process for other new 
attachments that are complex or above the communications space of a 
pole, but made significant modifications to speed deployment, promote 
accurate billing, expand the use of self-help for new attachers when 
attachment deadlines are missed, and reduce the likelihood of 
coordination failures that lead to unwarranted delays. The Commission 
further revised the pole attachment rules by codifying and redefining 
Commission precedent that requires utilities to allow attachers to 
``overlash'' existing wires, thus maximizing the usable space on the 
pole. Utilities and pole attachers will use the information collected 
under this revision to 47 CFR 1.1411 to implement and coordinate both 
OTMR and non-OTMR pole attachments. Pole attachers will use the 
information collected under this revision to 47 CFR 1.1412 to select 
utility-approved contractors to perform pole attachment-related work, 
when required. Pole attachers and utilities will use the information 
collected under this revision to 47 CFR 1.1415 to inform utilities, 
when required, of an impending overlash of an attachment on a utility's 
pole and to coordinate inspection of a performed overlash.
