Notice of Public Information

Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Notice; request for comments.
AGENCY:

As part of its continuing effort
to reduce paperwork burden and as

3520), the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) invites the general
public and other Federal agencies to
take this opportunity to comment on the

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 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 Control
Number.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060–0470.
Title: Section 64.901, Allocation of
Cost; Section 64.903, Cost Allocation
Manuals; and RAO Letters 19 and 26.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit.
Number of Respondents: 1
respondent; 2 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 200
hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
and annual reporting requirements.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151, 154, 201–
205, 215, and 218–220.
Total Annual Burden: 400 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The information is not of a confidential
nature. Respondents who believe that
certain information to be of a
proprietary nature may solicit
confidential treatment in accordance
with 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission’s
rules.
Needs and Uses: Section 64.901
requires carriers to separate their
regulated costs from nonregulated costs
using the attributable cost method of
cost allocation. Carriers must follow the
principles described in section 64.901.
Carriers subject to section 64.901 are
also subject to the provisions of 47 CFR
32.23 and 32.27 of the Commission’s
rules. Section 64.903(a) requires each
local exchange carrier with annual
operating revenues that equal or exceed
the indexed revenue threshold, as
defined in 47 CFR 32.9000, to file with
the Commission a manual containing
information regarding its allocation of
costs between regulated and nonregulated activities. Section 64.903(b)
requires that carriers update their cost
allocation manuals (CAMs) at least
annually; except that changes to the cost
apportionment table and the description
of time reporting procedures must be
filed at the time of implementation.
Proposed changes in the description of
time reporting procedures, the statement
concerning affiliate transactions, and

VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 232001

the cost apportionment table must be
accompanied by a statement quantifying
the impact of each change on regulated
operations. Changes in the description
of time reporting procedures and the
statement concerning affiliate
transactions must be quantified in
$100,000 increments at the account
level. Changes in the cost
apportionment table must be quantified
in $100,000 increments at the cost pool
level. Moreover, filing of CAMs and
occasional updates are subject to the
uniform format and standard procedures
specified in Responsible Accounting
Officer (RAO) Letter 19. RAO Letter 26
provides guidance to carriers in revising
their CAMs to reflect changes to the
affiliate transactions rules pursuant to
the Accounting Safeguards Order (FCC
96–490). The CAM is reviewed by the
Commission to ensure that all costs are
properly classified between regulated
and nonregulated activity. Uniformity in
the CAMs helps improve the joint cost
allocation process. In addition, this
uniformity gives the Commission greater
reliability in financial data submitted by
the carriers through the Automated
Reporting Management Information
System (ARMIS). In a Memorandum
Opinion and Order in WC Docket No.
07–21 (FCC 08–120) the Commission
forbore from many of its cost allocation
rules as they apply to the former Bell
Operating Companies. As reflected in
the May 2011 update to this information
collection, this decreased the number of
respondents affected by the
requirements of these rule sections. We
are not changing the number of
respondents with this submission.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Widelity has produced a Report,
‘‘Response to the Federal

items, Widelity conducted confidential
interviews of a broad range of industry
players, including TV broadcast group
engineers, radiofrequency and structural
engineers, suppliers, support
companies, manufacturers, attorneys,
and network engineers. The Report
recognizes that the post-Incentive
Auction repacking process will be
complex, but concludes that, with
