FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the
Federal Communications Commission
September 22, 2004.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden invites the general public
and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the
following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. An agency 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
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that does not display a valid control
number. Comments are requested concerning (a) 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; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's
burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information collected; and (d) 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.
DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be
submitted on or before October 28, 2004. 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 comments regarding this Paperwork Reduction Act
submission to Judith B. Herman, Federal Communications Commission, Room
1-C804, 445 12th Street, SW., DC 20554 or via the Internet to
Judith-B.Herman@fcc.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information or copies
of the information collection(s), contact Judith B. Herman at 202-418-
0214 or via the Internet at Judith-B.Herman@fcc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control No.: 3060-0971.
Title: Numbering Resource Optimization, Second Report and Order,
Order on Reconsideration in CC Docket No. 96-98 and CC Docket No. 99-
200, and Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in CC Docket No.
99-200.
Form No: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 2,050 respondents; 50,500 responses.
Estimated Time Per Response: .25-3 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion and semi-annual reporting
requirements and third party disclosure requirement.
Total Annual Burden: 14,000 hours.
Total Annual Cost: N/A.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Needs and Uses: The Second Report and Order imposed two information
collection requirements on carriers. First, a request for ``For Cause''
auditing requests, the North American Number Plan Administrator
(NANPA), the Pooling Administrator or a state commission must state, in
writing, the reason for the request (such as misleading or inaccurate
data) and provide supporting documentation. Audits will be performed by
the Commission's Enforcement Bureau or by other designated agents.
State commissions may participate in these audits along with the
commission's auditors or its designated agents. Secondly, State
commissions requesting copies of carriers' applications for initial and
growth numbering resources should obtain such copies directly from the
carriers, rather than from the NANPA or the Pooling Administrator. This
approach avoids a costly burden on national numbering administration
while placing only a minimal burden on carriers. The Commission is
seeking an extension (no change in requirements) for this information
collection. We are requesting continued OMB approval for this
collection and thus, the full three-year clearance from the OMB.
Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
