Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 6 / Monday, January 10, 2022 / Notices
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. The statutory
authority for these information
requirements are found in sections 1–4,
201, 202, 222, 258, and 303(r) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended; 47 U.S.C. 151–154, 201, 202,
222, 258, and 303(r).
Total Annual Burden: 54,900 hours.
Total Annual Cost: None.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
Confidentiality is not an issue as
individuals and/or households are not
required to provide personally
identifiable information.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Needs and Uses: In the 2005 Report
and Order and Further Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking, In the Matter of
Rules and Regulations Implementing
Minimum Customer Account Record
Exchange Obligations on All Local and
Interexchange Carriers (2005 Report and
Order), CG Docket No. 02–386, FCC 05–
29, which was released on February 25,
2005, the Commission adopted rules
governing the exchange of customer
account information between local
exchange carriers (LECs) and
interexchange carriers (IXCs). The
Commission concluded that mandatory,
minimum standards are needed in light
of record evidence demonstrating that
information needed by carriers to
execute customer requests and properly
bill customers is not being consistently
provided by all LECs and IXCs.
Specifically, the 2005 Report and Order
requires LECs to supply customer
account information to IXCs when: (1)
The LEC places an end user on, or
removes an end user from, an IXC’s
network; (2) an end user presubscribed
to an IXC makes certain changes to her
account information via her LEC; (3) an
IXC requests billing name and address
information for an end user who has
usage on an IXC’s network but for whom
the IXC does not have an existing
account; and (4) a LEC rejects an IXCinitiated PIC order. The 2005 Report and
Order required IXCs to notify LECs
when an IXC customer informs an IXC
directly of the customer’s desire to
change IXCs. In the accompanying
Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking,
the Commission sought comment on
whether to require the exchange of
customer account information between
LECs. In December 2007, the
Commission declined to adopt
mandatory LEC-to-LEC data exchange
requirements.

Commission.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
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
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 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 PRA comments should
be submitted on or before March 11,
2022. 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.

Cathy Williams, FCC, via email to PRA@

continue to substantially decrease

standard format but be available to a
wider audience. This eliminates or at
least minimizes the need to follow-up
with the customers to obtain all the
information necessary to respond to
their request. This form also helps
presort requests into previously defined
categories to all staff to respond more
quickly.
