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 (PRA) 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
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 PRA comments should be submitted on or before November
26, 2007. 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: You may submit all PRA comments by e-mail or U.S. mail. To

your comments by U.S. mail, send them to Jerry Cowden, Federal

Needs and Uses: In recognition of the critical need for rapid,
full, and accurate information on service disruptions that could affect
homeland security, public health and safety, as well as the economic
well being of our Nation, and in view of the increasing importance of
non-wireline communications in the Nation's communications networks and
critical infrastructure, the Commission adopted rules requiring
mandatory service disruptions reporting from all communications
providers (cable, satellite, wireline and wireless) that provide voice
and/or paging communications. As envisioned, the information collected
pursuant to these rules has helped improve network reliability. We thus
propose to continue our disruption reporting requirements.
Federal Communications Commission.
