Jkt 232001

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(s); 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 further
ways to reduce the information burden
for 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
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that
does not display a valid OMB Control
Number.
Written Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) comments should be
submitted on or before April 25, 2014.
If you anticipate that you will be
submitting PRA comments, but find it
difficult to do so within the period of
time allowed by this notice, you should
advise the FCC contact listed below as
soon as possible.
ADDRESSES: Submit your PRA comments
to Nicholas A. Fraser, Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), via fax
at: (202) 395–5167 or via the Internet at
[email protected] and

reporting requirement.
Obligation To Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151, 154(i),

requires Tier 1 local exchange carriers
(LECs) to provide expanded
opportunities for third party
interconnection with their interstate
special access facilities. The LECs are
permitted to establish a number of rate
zones within study areas in which
expanded interconnection are
operational. In a previous rulemaking,
Fifth Report and Order, CC Docket No.
96–262, the Commission allowed price
cap LECs to define the scope and
number of zones within a study area.
These LECs must file and obtain
approval of their pricing plans which
will be used by FCC staff to ensure that
the rates are just, reasonable and
nondiscriminatory.

information to the Commission. If the
Commission requests respondents to
submit information which respondents
believe is confidential, respondents may
request confidential treatment of such
information pursuant to 47 CFR 0.459 of
the Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
established a safety valve to ensure that
carriers experiencing rapid growth in a
given market will be able to meet
customer demand. States may use this
safety valve to grant requests from
carriers that demonstrate the following:
(1) The carrier will exhaust its
numbering resources in a market or rate
area within three months (in lieu of six
months-to-exhaust requirement); and
(2) Projected growth is based on the
carrier’s actual growth in the market or
rate area, or in the carrier’s actual
growth in a reasonably comparable
market, but only if that projected growth
varies no more than 15 percent from
historical growth in the relevant market.
The Commission lifted the ban on
service-specific and technology-specific
overlays (collectively, specialized
overlays or SOs), allowing State
commissions seeking to implement SOs
to request delegated authority to do so
on a case-by-case basis. To provide
further guidance to State commissions,
the Commission set forth the criteria
that each request for delegated authority
to implement a SO should address. This
will enable us to examine the feasibility
of SOs in a particular area, and
determine whether the Commission’s
stated goals are likely to be met if the
SO is implemented. Specifically, State
commissions should also specifically
address the following:
(1) The technologies or services to be
included in the SO;
(2) The geographic area to be covered;
(3) Whether the SO will be
transitional;
(4) When the SO will be implemented
and, if a transitional SO is proposed,
when the SO will become an all-services
overlay;
(5) Whether the SO will include takebacks;
(6) Whether there will be 10-digit
dialing in the SO and the underlying
area code(s);
(7) Whether the SO and underlying
area code(s) will be subject to rationing;
and
(8) Whether the SO will cover an area
in which pooling is taking place.
The Commission uses the information
it collects to assist the State
commissions in carrying out their
delegated authority over numbering
resources.
