The information collected in the standard local service request data fields is necessary to complete simple wireline-to-wireline and intermodal ports within the one business day porting interval mandated by the Commission and will be used to comply with section 251 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. On November 16, 2023, the FCC released a Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (88 FR 85794 (Dec. 8, 2023)) (SIM Swap and Port-Out Fraud Order), which adds new information collection requirements. The SIM Swap and Port-Out Fraud Order adopted baseline measures to increase protections for customers against fraudulent port-outs by adding new section 52.37 in part 52, and adds new information collection requirements in paragraphs (c) through (e), and (g), of that rule. Port-out fraud occurs where a bad actor impersonates a customers of a wireless provider and convinces the provider to port the real customer’s telephone number to a new wireless provider and a device that the bad actor controls, allowing a bad actor to control the victim’s mobile account and receive text messages and phone calls intended for the victim. The new rules establish a uniform framework that gives wireless providers flexibility to implement customer authentication and security methods to address port-out fraud. Wireless providers are required to comply with the new or modified rules except where the Safe Connections Act requires alternate procedures to be used. The SIM Swap and Port-Out Fraud Order modifies the existing Local Number Portability collection requirements to require wireless providers to: (1) immediately notify customers of any requests for a port-out request associated with the customer’s account before effectuating the request; (2) offer all customers, at no cost, the option to lock or freeze their account to prohibit wireless providers from processing requests to port the customer’s number; (3) provide customers with advance notice of any account protection measures offered; and (4) maintain a clear process for customers to report fraudulent number ports, promptly investigate and take reasonable steps within its control to remediate fraudulent ports, and promptly provide customers with documentation of fraudulent ports involving their accounts.

    Total Annual Burden: 25,682 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $1,176,813.
    Needs and Uses: The purpose of FCC Form 854 (Form 854) is to 
register antenna structures that are used for radio communication 
services which are regulated by the Commission; to make changes to 
existing antenna structure registrations or pending applications for 
registration; or to notify the Commission of the completion of 
construction or dismantlement of such structures, as required by Title 
47 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter 1, Sections 1.923, 
1.1307, 1.1311, 17.1, 17.2, 17.4, 17.5, 17.6, 17.7, 17.57 and 17.58.
    Any person or entity proposing to construct or alter an antenna 
structure that is more than 60.96 meters (200 feet) in height, or that

proposed construction. The FAA determines whether the antenna structure 
constitutes a potential hazard and may recommend appropriate painting

the Commission authority to require painting and/or illumination of

antenna structure may cause a hazard to air navigation. In 1992, 
Congress amended Sections 303(q) and 503(b)(5) of the Communications 
Act to make radio tower owners, as well as Commission licensees and 
permittees responsible for the painting and lighting of radio tower 
structures, and to provide that non-licensee radio tower owners may be 
subject to forfeiture for violations of painting or lighting 
requirements specified by the Commission.
