FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

[OMB 3060-1096]


Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

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 Communications Commission (FCC or the 
Commission) invites the general public and other Federal agencies to 
take this opportunity to comment on the following information 
collection. 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 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.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before May 10, 
2016. 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 Nicole Ongele, FCC, via email 
[email protected] and to [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the 
information collection, contact Nicole Ongele at (202) 418-2991.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control Number: 3060-1096.
    Title: Prepaid Calling Card Service Provider Certification, WC 
Docket No. 05-68.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 121 respondents; 1,452 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 2.5 hours-20 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Quarterly reporting requirement, third party 
disclosure requirement and recordkeeping requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. Statutory authority for this 
information collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151, 152, 154(i), 201, 
202 and 254 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
    Total Annual Burden: 12,100 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No cost.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission does not 
anticipate providing confidentiality of the information submitted by 
prepaid calling card providers. Particularly, the prepaid calling card 
providers must send reports to their transport providers. Additionally, 
the quarterly certifications sent to the Commission will be made public 
through the Commission's Electronic Comment Filing System (ECFS) 
process. These certifications will be filed in the Commission's docket 
associated with this proceeding. If the respondents submit information 
they believe to be confidential, they may request confidential 
treatment of such information under 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission's 
rules.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this expiring 
information collection after this comment period in order to obtain the 
full three-year clearance from the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB).
    The Commission is requesting approval for an extension (no change 
in the reporting, recordkeeping and/or third-party disclosure 
requirements). Prepaid calling card service providers must report 
quarterly the percentage of interstate, intrastate and international 
access charges to carriers from which they purchase transport services. 
Prepaid calling card providers must also file certifications with the 
Commission quarterly that include the above information and a statement 
that they are contributing to the federal Universal Service Fund based 
on all interstate and international revenue, except for revenue from 
the sale of prepaid calling cards by, to, or pursuant to contract with 
the Department of Defense (DoD) or a DoD entity.

Federal Communications Commission.
