FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

[OMB 3060-XXXX]


Information Collection Being Submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget for Emergency Review and Approval

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, the 
Federal Communications Commission (FCC or the Commission) invites the 
general 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 information collected; ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on the 
respondents, 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 Commission 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 September 
6, 2019.

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Nicholas A. Fraser, OMB, via 
email [email protected]; and to Nicole Ongele, FCC, via 
email [email protected] and to [email protected]. Include in the comments 
the Title as shown in the ``Supplementary Information'' section below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the 
information collection, contact Nicole Ongele, (202) 418-2991.

    OMB Control Number: 3060-XXXX.
    Title: Application to Participate in a Toll Free Number Auction, 
FCC Form 833.
    Form Number: FCC Form 833.
    Type of Review: New information collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities, Individuals or 
households, Not-for-profit institutions, Federal Government, State, 
Local or Tribal Governments.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 200 respondents; 200 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 1.5 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this collection is contained in sections 1, 
4(i), 201(b) and 251(e)(1) of the Communications Act of 1934, as 
amended, 47 U.S.C. 151, 154(i), 201(b), 251(e)(1).
    Total Annual Burden: 300 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $0.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: The Commission is preparing to conduct a 
Privacy Impact Assessment.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Information collected on FCC 
Form 833 is made available for public inspection, and the Commission is 
not requesting that respondents submit confidential information as part 
of the pre-auction application process. For individuals, the Privacy 
Act, 5 U.S.C. 552(a), is the statutory authority for confidentiality 
and applies to this information collection. To the extent the 
information submitted pursuant to this information collection is 
determined to be confidential, it will be protected by the Commission. 
If a respondent seeks to have certain information collected on FCC Form 
833 withheld from public inspection, the respondent may request 
confidential treatment of such information pursuant to section 0.459 of 
the Commission's rules. See 47 CFR 0.459.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission's rules and related requirements are 
designed to ensure that the competitive bidding process for assigning 
toll free numbers is limited to qualified applicants, deter possible 
abuse of the bidding process, and enhance the use of competitive 
bidding to assign toll free numbers in furtherance of the public 
interest. Applicants will use FCC Form 833 to submit the required 
disclosures and certifications, and the information collected on FCC 
Form 833 will then be reviewed to determine if an applicant is 
qualified to bid in the 833 code toll free number auction (833 
Auction). The 833 Auction will not be able to occur without the 
collection of information on FCC Form 833. Without the information 
collected on FCC Form 833, a determination of whether the applicant is 
qualified to bid in the 833 Auction cannot be made.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary, Office of the Secretary.
