FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS

[OMB 3060–1005; FR ID 109195]
Information Collection Being
Submitted for Review and Approval to
Office of Management and Budget
Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
As part of its continuing effort
to reduce paperwork burdens, 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

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As part of
its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork burdens, as required by the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), the FCC invited
the general public and other Federal
Agencies to take this opportunity to
comment on the following information
collection. Comments are requested
concerning: (a) 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; (b) the accuracy of the
Commission’s burden estimates; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information collected; and
(d) 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.
Pursuant to the Small Business
Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, Public
Law 107–198, see 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(4),
the FCC seeks specific comment on how
it might ‘‘further reduce the information

Respondents: Business or other forprofit and State, Local, or Tribal
Government.
Number of Respondents and

Estimated Time per Response: 25–40

Frequency of Response: On occasion

Total Annual Burden: 6,380 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission is not requesting that
respondents submit confidential
information to the Commission. If the
Commission requests respondents to
submit information which respondents
believe is confidential, respondents may
request confidential treatment of such
information pursuant to 47 CFR 0.459 of
the Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
established a safety valve to ensure that
carriers experiencing rapid growth in a
given market will be able to meet
customer demand. 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

it collects to assist the state
commissions in carrying out their
delegated authority over numbering
resources.
