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 forprofit 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 ‘‘onetouch 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 multiparty 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
PO 00000

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 nonOTMR 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.

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
At the request of Connecticut
Public Broadcasting, Inc. (CPBI),
licensee of television station WEDW
channel *49, Bridgeport, Connecticut
(WEDW), the Commission has before it
a contested Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking to change WEDW’s
community of license from Bridgeport
to Stamford, Connecticut. The
Commission believes that the proposal
is a preferential arrangement of
allotments because it will provide
Stamford, the third largest city in
Connecticut, with its first broadcast
television service. The Commission also
reiterates that the grant of the proposal
will not deprive Bridgeport of its sole
broadcast television service because it
will continue to be served by full power
television station WZME, Bridgeport,
Connecticut, licensed to NRJ TV NY
License Co., LLC (NRJ).
