Title: Handling Confidential
Information.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities; Not-for-profit
institutions; Federal Government; and
State, Local, or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 2,400 respondents; 2,400
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 1–2
hours.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. The statutory
authority for this collection of
information is contained in 5 U.S.C.
552(b)(4), 18 U.S.C. 1905, and 47 U.S.C.
154(i).
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement; recordkeeping
and third party disclosure requirements.
Total Annual Burden: 4,300 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No Cost.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature of Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission is not requesting that
the respondents submit confidential
information to the FCC. Respondents
may, however, request confidential
treatment for information they believe to
be confidential under 47 CFR 0.459 of
the Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: On August 4, 1998,
the FCC released a Report and Order
(R&O), Examination of Current Policy
Concerning the Treatment of
Confidential Information Submitted to
the Commission, CG Docket No. 96–55.
The R&O included a Model Protective
Order (MPO) that is used, when
appropriate, to grant limited access to
information that the Commission
determines should not be routinely
available for public inspection. The
party granted access to the confidential
information materials must keep a
written record of all copies made and
provide this record to the submitted of
the confidential materials upon request.
This approach was adopted to facilitate
the use of confidential materials under
an MPO, instead of restricting access to
materials. In addition, the FCC amended
47 CFR 0.459(b) to set forth the type of
information that should be included
when a party submits information to the
Commission for which it seeks
confidential treatment. This listing of
types of information to be submitted
was adopted to provide guidance to the
public for confidentiality requests.

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
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 FCC 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 March 27,
2023. 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.

17 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion,
One-time, Annual, and Monthly

authority for this collection of

the Communications Act of 1934, as

Total Annual Burden: 413,460 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No Cost.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No
Impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no assurance of confidentiality
provided to respondents concerning this
information collection. Information
submitted on FCC Forms for the RHC
Program is subject to public inspection
and is used by USAC to update and
expand the RHC Program dataset as part
of its Open Data Platform. However,
respondents may request materials or
information submitted to the
Commission or to USAC be withheld
from public inspection under 47 CFR
0.459 of the FCC’s rules.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
seeks OMB approval of an extension of
this information collection, which is
scheduled to expire on May 31, 2023.
This collection is utilized for the RHC
support mechanism of the
Commission’s universal service fund
(USF). The collection of this
information is necessary so that the
Commission and the Universal Service
Administrative Company (USAC) will
have sufficient information to determine
if entities are eligible for funding
pursuant to the RHC universal service
support mechanism, to determine if
entities are complying with the
Commission’s rules, and to prevent
waste, fraud, and abuse. This
information is also necessary in order to
allow the Commission to evaluate the
extent to which the RHC Program is
meeting the statutory objectives
specified in section 254(h) of the 1996
Act, and the Commission’s performance
goals for the RHC Program.

agreement or other arrangement to
which it is a party and any amendments
