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 contact listed below as soon as possible. ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Nicole Ongele, FCC, via email PRA@ fcc.gov and to Nicole.Ongele@fcc.gov. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the information collection, contact Nicole Ongele at (202) 418–2991. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB Control Number: 3060–1264. Title: Application to Participate in a Toll Free Number Auction, FCC Form 833. Form Number: FCC Form 833. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved information collection. Respondents: Business or other forprofit 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: No Cost. Privacy Act Impact Assessment: The Commission will determine if a Privacy Impact Assessment is required. 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. 552a, 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 DATES: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:04 Oct 24, 2019 Jkt 250001 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 a toll free number auction. Toll free number auctions 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 a toll free number auction cannot be made. Federal Communications Commission.

States may use this safety valve to grant requests from carriers that demonstrate the following: (1) The carrier will exhaust its numbering resources in a market or rate area within three months (in lieu of six months-to-exhaust requirement); and (2) Projected growth is based on the carrier’s actual growth in the market or rate area, or in the carrier’s actual growth in a reasonably comparable market, but only if that projected growth varies no more than 15 percent from historical growth in the relevant market. The Commission lifted the ban on service-specific and technology-specific overlays (collectively, specialized overlays or SOs), allowing state commissions seeking to implement SOs to request delegated authority to do so on a case-by-case basis. To provide further guidance to state commissions, the Commission set forth the criteria that each request for delegated authority to implement a SO should address. This will enable us to examine the feasibility of SOs in a particular area, and to determine whether the Commission’s stated goals are likely to be met if the SO is implemented. Specifically, state commissions should also specifically address the following: (1) The technologies or services to be included in the SO; (2) The geographic area to be covered; (3) Whether the SO will be transitional; (4) When the SO will be implemented and, if a transitional SO is proposed, when the SO will become an all-services overlay; (5) Whether the SO will include takebacks; (6) Whether there will be 10-digit dialing in the SO and the underlying area code(s); (7) Whether the SO and underlying area code(s) will be subject to rationing; and (8) Whether the SO will cover an area in which pooling is taking place. The Commission uses the information it collects to assist the state commissions in carrying out their delegated authority over numbering resources. Federal Communications Commission.
