following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995. Comments are requested concerning: (a)
Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the

of the Commission's burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information collected; (d) ways to minimize

including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of
information technology; and (e) ways to further reduce the information
collection burden for small business concerns with fewer than 25

The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid control number. No person shall be

information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that does not

Title: Telecommunications Carriers' Use of Customer Proprietary
Network Information (CPNI) and Other Customer Information, CC Docket
No. 96-115.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities.
Number of Respondents and Responses: 6,017 respondents; 137,256,125
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.002 hours-50 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion, one time, annual and biennial
reporting requirements, recordkeeping requirement, and third party
disclosure requirements.
Obligation to Respond: Mandatory as required by section 222 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 222.
Total Annual Burden: 350,704 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $3,000,000.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impacts.
Nature and 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: Section 222 of the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, 47 U.S.C. 222, establishes the duty of telecommunications
carriers to protect the confidentiality of its customers' proprietary
information. This Customer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI)
includes personally identifiable information derived from a customer's
relationship with a provider of telecommunications services. This
information collection implements the statutory obligations of section
222. These regulations impose safeguards to protect customers' CPNI
against unauthorized access and disclosure. In March 2007, the
Commission adopted new rules that focused on the efforts of providers
of telecommunications services to prevent pretexting. These rules
require providers of telecommunications services to adopt additional
privacy safeguards that, the Commission believes, will limit
pretexters' ability to obtain unauthorized access to the type of
personal customer information from carriers that the Commission
regulates. In addition, in furtherance of the Telephone Records and
Privacy Protection Act of 2006, the
[[Page 30708]]
Commission's rules help ensure that law enforcement will have necessary
tools to investigate and enforce prohibitions on illegal access to
customer records.
