FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal
Communications Commission
SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens,
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
3501-3520), the Federal Communication Commission (FCC or Commission)
invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on the following information collections.
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 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 PRA comments should be submitted on or before April 14,
2014. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find
it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice,
you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.
ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Cathy Williams, FCC, via email
[email protected][email protected] and to
[email protected][email protected].

information collection, contact Cathy Williams at (202) 418-2918.

Needs and Uses: The Commission is submitting this modified
information collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to
transfer burden hours and costs associated with regulations under
section 225 of the Communications Act (Act), as previously approved
under OMB control number 3060-1111, to this information collection. In
2007, the Commission released the Section 225/255 VoIP Report and
Order, published at 72 FR 43546, extending the disability access
requirements that apply to telecommunications service providers and
equipment manufacturers under sections 225 and 255 of the Act to
interconnected voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) service providers
and equipment manufacturers. As a result, under rules implementing
section 225 of the Act, interconnected VoIP service providers are
required to publicize information about telecommunications relay
services (TRS) and 711 abbreviated dialing access to TRS (``public
access to information''). Specifically, the burden hours and costs
associated with this public access information rule are being
transferred from OMB control number 3060-1111 to this collection.
Federal Communications Commission.
