Download as PDF 53424 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 123 / Wednesday, June 26, 2024 / Notices 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. OMB Control Number: 3060–0233. Title: Part 54—Rate-of-Return Carrier Universal Service Reporting Requirements; Waiver of Local Exchange Carrier Study Area Boundary Changes. Form Number: FCC Form 507, FCC Form 508 and FCC Form 509. Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection. Respondents: Business or other forprofit. Number of Respondents and Responses: 1,098 respondents; 3,627 responses. Estimated Time per Response: 1–22 hours. Frequency of Response: Annual reporting requirements. Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151–154, 214, 218–220, 221(c), 254, and 303(r). Total Annual Burden: 34,404 hours. Total Annual Cost: No Cost. Needs and Uses: In order to determine which carriers are entitled to universal service support, all rate-of-return regulated (rate-of-return) incumbent local exchange carriers (LECs) must provide the National Exchange Carrier Association (NECA) with the loop cost and loop count data required by section 54.1305 for each of its study areas and, if applicable, for each wire center as that term is defined in 47 CFR part 54. See 47 CFR 54.1305, 54.5. The loop cost and loop count information is to be filed annually with NECA by July 31st of each year. See 47 CFR 54.1305. Pursuant to section 54.1307, the information filed on July 31st of each year will be used to calculate universal service support for each study area and is filed by NECA with the Commission on October 1 of each year. See 47 CFR 54.1307. An incumbent LEC is defined as a carrier that meets the definition of ‘‘incumbent local exchange carrier’’ in section 51.5 of the Commission’s rules. See 47 CFR 51.5. In March 2016, the Commission adopted the Rate-of-Return Reform Order to continue modernizing the universal service support mechanisms for rate-of-return carriers. Connect America Fund et al., Report and Order et al., 31 FCC Rcd 3087 (2016) (Rate-of- ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:15 Jun 25, 2024 Jkt 262001 Return Reform Order). The Rate-ofReturn Reform Order replaced the Interstate Common Line Support (ICLS) mechanism with the Connect America Fund—Broadband Loop Support (CAF– BLS) mechanism. Id. at 3117–57, paras. 80–187. While ICLS supported only lines used to provide traditional voice service (including voice service bundled with broadband service), CAF–BLS also supports consumer broadband-only loops. Id. at 3157–62, paras. 188–204. For the purposes of calculating and monitoring CAF–BLS, rate-of-return carriers that receive CAF–BLS must file common line and consumer broadbandonly loop counts on FCC Form 507, forecasted common line and consumer broadband-only loop costs and revenues on FCC Form 508, and actual common line and consumer broadband-only loop costs and revenues on FCC Form 509. See 47 CFR 54.903(a). In December 2018, the Commission adopted the December 2018 Rate-ofReturn Reform Order to require rate-ofreturn carriers that receive Alternative Connect American Model (A–CAM) or Alaska Plan support to file line count data on FCC Form 507 as a condition of high-cost support. Connect America Fund et al., WC Docket No. 10–90 et al., Report and Order, Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and Order on Reconsideration, 33 FCC Rcd 11893 (2018) (2018 Rate-of-Return Reform Order). Historically, all rate-of-return carriers that received CAF–BLS or, prior to that, ICLS, were required to file line count data on FCC Form 507 as a condition of that support but Rate-ofreturn carriers that had elected to receive A–CAM I, A–CAM II, or Alaska Plan instead were not. Id. at 11937, para. 148. In order to restore a data set that the Commission relied on to evaluate the effectiveness of its highcost universal service programs, the Commission revised its rules in that Order to require all rate-of-return carriers to file that data. See id. at 11937, para. 51. While carriers receiving CAF–BLS must file the line count data on March 31 for line counts as of the prior December 31, the A–CAM I, A– CAM II, and Alaska Plan carriers will be required to file on July 1 of each year to coincide with other existing requirements in OMB Control No. 3060– 0986. 47 CFR 54.903(a)(1), 54.313(f)(5). On October 20, 2023, the Commission made changes to rate-of-return reporting rules by eliminating optional unseparated loop cost data quarterly updates. Connect America Fund et al., WC Docket No. 10–90 et al. WT Docket No. 10–208, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and Report and Order, FCC 23–87 at 79–80, paras. 181–82 (Oct. 20, PO 00000 Frm 00043 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 2023). In addition, the Commission amended section 36.4 of the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 36.4, to require local exchange carriers seeking a change in study area boundaries to submit a petition for waiver of these boundary changes notwithstanding any prior exemptions from such waiver requests including, but not limited to, when a company is combining previously unserved territory with one of its study areas or a holding company is consolidating existing study areas within the same state. See id. at 176– 180, paras. 77–79. The Commission therefore proposes to revise this information collection. Federal Communications Commission. Katura Jackson, Federal Register Liaison Officer.
