Implementation of the
Telecommunications Act of 1996: Telecommunications Carriers' Use of
Customer Proprietary Network Information and Other Customer
Information -- CC Docket 96-115
New
collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)
OMB strongly
supports FCC efforts to establish reasonable telecommunications
carrier protections for CPNI and encourage the Commission to work
with carriers, State Public Utility Commissions and privacy
organizations, and consumer advocacy groups to reach consensus on
these requirements. The Commission should ensure that equitable
access to CPNI is provided to firms seeking this information, and
should include provisions that allow the requestor to obtain this
data in any format already being generated by the collector. The
FCC should also try to minimize the written reporting and
recordkeeping requirements imposed on the carriers and public.
Finally, when these rules are finalized, the FCC should include
estimates of the cost and hour burden imposed on the public in
responding to requests to use their CPNI for other purposes.

The attached Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (NPRM) seeks to clarify and specify in more detail the
obligations of telecommunications carriers under the customer
proprietary network information (CPNI) subscriber list information
provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (see 47 U.S.C.
section 222). (The NPRM also seeks to implement data safeguards for
information about calls received by alarm monitoring services,
pursuant to 47 U.S.C. section 275(d), but the Commission does not
anticipate that such safeguards will require any information
collection.)
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
