Abstract: To help expand historically
underserved and overburdened
communities’ access to critical
resources, the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) developed the
Promoting Readiness and Enhancing
Proficiency to Advance Reporting and
Data (PREPARED) Program. The
evidence-building technical assistance
(TA) providers (thereafter referenced as
Providers) will operate in cooperative
agreements with EPA to remove barriers
and improve access for communities
who have applied for or received
financial assistance awards to tackle
their environmental justice concerns.
The Providers will deliver TA and
training that is intended to enhance
capacity in: grant application and
administration, collecting grant related
data; meeting federal post-award
reporting requirements; project
planning/design; and generating
information necessary for outcomes
assessment, evaluation, and
identification of opportunities for
improvement. With this Information
Collection Request (ICR), EPA seeks
authorization to collect post-award
information from each Provider to track
their progress. Collection of this
information enables EPA to assess and
manage the PREPARED program, which
ensures responsible stewardship of
public funds; rigorous evidence-based
learning and improvement; and
transparent accountability to the
American public. This ICR also requests
authorization for the Providers to collect
input and insights from communities
who seek to obtain technical assistance
services, as well as stakeholders who
have valuable experience and expertise
in community engagement and
empowerment. These information
collections will enable the Providers to
document local priorities, needs, and
norms to ensure that they develop
useful and relevant technical assistance
and training services. Furthermore,
feedback about these services will
enable the Providers to conduct selfassessments to identify best practices
and areas for improvement.

the public (over 3 years).
Frequency of response: Grant
recipients will submit quarterly progress
reports. Public outreach information
collections (via surveys and focus
groups) will occur throughout the life of
the PREPARED project, with no more
than one response per instrument per
respondent.
Total estimated burden: 3,234 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $116,142 (per
year), there are no annualized capital or
operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: This is a
new collection.

OMB Control Number: 3060–0719.
Title: Quarterly Report of Local
Exchange Carriers Listing Payphone
Automatic Number Identifications
(ANIs).
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 400 respondents; 1,600
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 3.5
hours (8 hours for the initial
submission; 2 hours per subsequent
submission, for an average of 3.5 hours
per response).
Frequency of Response: Quarterly
reporting requirement, recordkeeping
requirement, and third party disclosure
requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151, 154, 201–
205, 215, 218, 219, 220, 226 and 276 of
the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended.
Total Annual Burden: 5,600 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
adopted rules and policies governing
the payphone industry under section
276(b)(1)(A) of the Telecommunications
Act of 1996 (the Act) and established ‘‘a
per call compensation plan to ensure
that all payphone service providers are
fairly compensated for each and every
completed intrastate and interstate
call.’’ Pursuant to this mandate, and as
required by section 64.1310(d) of the
Commission’s rules, Local Exchange
Carriers (LECs) must provide to carriers
required to pay compensation pursuant
to section 64.1300(a), a quarterly report
listing payphone ANIs. Without
provision of this report, resolution of
disputed ANIs would be rendered very
difficult. Carriers would not be able to
discern which ANIs pertain to
payphones and therefore would not be
