treatment for information they believe to
be confidential under 47 CFR Section
0.459 of the Commission’s rules.

be submitted as an extension of a
currently approved collection to the
Office of Management and Budget

The Commission adopted rules to
implement the First Report and Order
on Reconsideration issued in CC Docket
No. 96–98. That Order implemented
parts of sections 251 and 252 of the

affect local competition. Incumbent
local exchange carriers (ILECs) are
required to offer interconnection,
unbundled network elements (UNEs),
transport and termination, and
wholesale rates for certain services to
new entrants. Incumbent LECs must
price such services and rates that are
cost-based and just and reasonable and
provide access to right-of-way as well as
establish reciprocal compensation
arrangements for the transport and
termination of telecommunications
traffic.

Notice and request for
comments.
ACTION:
SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort
to reduce paperwork burdens, and as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (PRA), the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC or
Commission) invites the general public
and other Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on the
following information collections.
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 FCC may not conduct or sponsor
a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) 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 OMB
control number.
DATES: Written comments should be
submitted on or before October 21,
2019. If you anticipate that you will be
submitting comments but find it
difficult to do so within the period of
time allowed by this notice, you should
advise the contacts below as soon as
possible.
Direct all PRA comments to
Cathy Williams, FCC, via email: PRA@
fcc.gov and to Cathy.Williams@fcc.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
additional information about the
information collection, contact Cathy
Williams at (202) 418–2918.

respondents; 2,750 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: .50
hours to 6 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
and annual reporting requirements.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. 4(i), 308(b),
309(j)(3) and 309(j)(4).
Total Annual Burden: 7,288 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $2,223,375.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
In general, there is no need for
confidentiality. On a case by case basis,
the Commission may be required to
withhold from disclosure certain
information about the location,
character, or ownership of a historic
property, including traditional religious
sites.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will submit this expiring information
collection to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) after this comment
period to obtain the three year clearance
from them. FCC Form 609–T is used by
Designated Entities (DEs) to request
prior Commission approval pursuant to
Section 1.2114 of the Commission’s
rules for any reportable eligibility event.
The data collected on the form is used
by the FCC to determine whether the
public interest would be served by the
approval of the reportable eligibility
event.
FCC Form 611–T is used by DE
licensees to file an annual report,
pursuant to Section 1.2110(n) of the
Commission’s rules, related to eligibility
for designated entity benefits.
The information collected will be
used to ensure that only legitimate small
businesses reap the benefits of the
Commission’s designated entity
program. Further, this information will
assist the Commission in preventing
companies from circumventing the
objectives of the designated entity
eligibility rules by allowing us to
review: (1) The FCC 609–T applications
seeking approval for ‘‘reportable
eligibility events’’ and (2) the FCC Form
611–T annual reports to ensure that
licensees receiving designated entity
benefits are in compliance with the
Commission’s policies and rules.
