Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 122 / Tuesday, June 25, 2024 / Notices
Commission mandated a one business
day porting interval for simple wirelineto-wireline and intermodal port
requests. 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.

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 of 1995 (PRA), 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 collection(s).
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 Office of
Management and Budget (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 comments should be
submitted on or before August 26, 2024.
If you anticipate that you will be
submitting comments but find it

and 309(j) of the Communications Act of
1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 151, 152,

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 may interfere with the
approach or departure space of a nearby
airport runway, must notify the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) of
proposed construction. The FAA
determines whether the antenna
structure constitutes a potential hazard
and may recommend appropriate
painting and lighting for the structure.
The Commission then uses the FAA’s
recommendation to impose specific
painting and/or lighting requirements
on radio tower owners and subject
licensees. When an antenna structure
owner for one reason or another does
not register its structure, it then
becomes the responsibility of the tenant
licensees to ensure that the structure is
registered with the Commission.
Section 303(q) of the Communications
Act of 1934, as amended, gives the
Commission authority to require
painting and/or illumination of radio
towers in cases where there is a
reasonable possibility that an 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 nonlicensee radio tower owners may be
subject to forfeiture for violations of
painting or lighting requirements
specified by the Commission.
OMB Control Number: 3060–0979.
Title: License Audit Letter.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Individuals or
households, business or other for-profit
entities, not-for-profit institutions and
state, local or tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 25,000
respondents; 25,000 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: .50
hours.
Frequency of Response: One-time
reporting requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151, 152,
154(i), 155(c), 157, 201, 202, 208, 214,
301, 302a, 303, 307, 308, 309, 310, 311,
314, 316, 319, 324, 331, 332, 333, 336,
534 and 535.
Total Annual Burden: 12,500 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Needs and Uses: The Commission is
seeking OMB approval for an extension
of this information collection in order to
obtain their full three-year approval.
There is no change to the reporting
requirement. There is no change to the
Commission’s burden estimates. The
Wireless Telecommunications (WTB)
and Public Safety and Homeland
Security Bureaus (PSHSB) of the FCC
periodically conduct audits of the
construction and/or operational status
of various Wireless radio stations in its
licensing database that are subject to
rule-based construction and operational
requirements. The Commission’s rules
for these Wireless services require
construction within a specified
timeframe and require a station to
remain operational in order for the
license to remain valid. The information
will be used by FCC personnel to assure
that licensees’ stations are constructed
and currently operating in accordance
with the parameters of the current FCC
authorization and rules.
