Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The information requested is not of a
confidential nature. However,
respondents may request materials or
information submitted to the
Commission be withheld from public
inspection under 47 CFR 0.459 of the
Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: On April 28, 2017,
the Commission released the Business
Data Services Order, WC Docket No. 16–
143 et al., FCC 17–43, reforming the
business data services/special access
regulations for incumbent and
competitive LECs. The Commission’s
reforms included replacing the
application-based pricing flexibility
rules with a new framework under
which: (a) Packet-based services, time
division multiplexing (TDM) services
with bandwidth greater than 45 mbps,
and TDM transport services are not
subject to ex ante pricing regulation; (b)
a new standard is applied to determine
the extent to which the Commission
regulates price cap LECs’ TDM end user
channel terminations with bandwidth
less than 45 mbps and certain other low
bandwidth business data services.
Under this standard, a price cap LEC is
not subject to ex ante pricing regulation
in the provision of these services in
counties deemed competitive under the
Commission’s competitive market test
or for which the price cap LEC
previously obtained Phase II pricing
flexibility; (c) the price cap LEC is
subject to ex ante pricing regulation in
other counties where it is the incumbent
LEC, but in these counties the price cap
LEC has downward pricing flexibility
(i.e., the equivalent of Phase I pricing
flexibility under the prior rules); and (d)
the Commission will update the
competitive market test results every
three years using data already collected
in FCC Form 477.
Among other rules changes, the
Business Data Services Report and
Order repealed section 1.774, which set
forth requirements for pricing flexibility
applications, and added section 1.776,
which limits the circumstances under
which price cap LECs must file their
business data services contracts as
contract-based tariffs. The Commission
also amended section 69.701 of its rules
to specify that its pricing flexibility
rules no longer apply to business data
services.

General Description of Collection:
Regulation B (12 CFR part 1002) issued
by the Consumer Financial Protection
Bureau, prohibits creditors from
discriminating against applicants on any
bases specified by the Equal Credit
Opportunity Act; imposes, reporting,
record keeping and disclosure
requirements; establishes guidelines for
gathering and evaluating credit
information; and requires creditors to
give applicants certain written notices.
There is no change in the method or
substance of the collection. The overall
reduction in burden hours is a result of
economic fluctuation. In particular, the

number of respondents has decreased
while the reporting frequency and the
estimated time per response remain the
same.
2. Title: Flood Insurance.
OMB Number: 3064–0120.
Form Number: None.
Affected Public: Insured state
nonmember banks and state savings
associations.
Burden Estimate: There is no change
in the method or substance of the
collection. There is an overall reduction
in burden hours which is the result of
(1) economic fluctuation reflected by a
decrease in the number of FDIC-

supervised institutions and (2) a
decrease in the number of flood
insurance policies nationally. In
particular, the number of respondents
and the frequency of response (number
of loans) have decreased while the
hours per response remain the same.
FDIC estimates total annual burden to
be 111,540 hours. To obtain this figure,
FDIC relied on: (a) Data from the Federal
Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) as of May 2017; (b) FDIC Call
Report data as of March 31, 2017; and
(c) Federal Reserve Board mortgage data
as of March 31, 2017.

FDIC Call Report data showed that as
of March 31, 2017, there were a total of
5,790 FDIC-insured institutions with a
total of $4.25 trillion in 1–4 family;
multifamily; nonfarm, nonresidential,
and agricultural loans secured by real
estate. As of March 31, 2017, there were
3,718 FDIC-regulated institutions with a

total value of about $1.19 trillion in
these loans. Based on the foregoing, we
estimate that FDIC-regulated banks hold
27.9% of these assets.
The Federal Reserve Board reported
$14.41 trillion in mortgage debt
outstanding in the U.S., with $4.63
trillion (32.4%) held by depository

institutions.2 Since this total debt held
by banks is close to the value of these
real estate loans from Call Report data,
we have confidence that we can meld
the data sets for estimation purposes.
We therefore assume that 32.4% of the
value of flood insurance policies will be
held by U.S. commercial banks: $401
billion.
In the absence of any data on the
number of real estate loans with flood
insurance at any bank, we resort to
apportion 32.4% of the number of flood
insurance policies (1,614,801) to
commercial banks, and 27.9% of those
to FDIC-regulated institutions (451,177).
Because the value of property varies
greatly between different geographical
regions and different banks, it is
doubtful that this estimation of the
number of policies is accurate.
However, there exists no other
reasonable method for deriving the
number of policies at each bank given
available data.
Next, we apportioned the 451,177
flood insurance policies to each FDICregulated institution according to its
share of real estate loans to total real
estate loans. The resulting
apportionment results in an average of
121 policies per bank, and a median of
30 policies per bank. Because the
average is skewed by the large number
of policies at large banks, we believe the
median is a better measure for
calculating burden hours.
Our subject-matter experts (SMEs) for
this rule believe that the total burden to
the public for complying with this rule
is 1.0 hours per policy. We find four
PRA related tasks in this rule: (1)
Disclosure to Borrowers, (2) Disclosure
to Servicers, (3) Reporting to FEMA of
Changes in Coverage, and (4)
Recordkeeping for tasks 1–3 above. We
assume that Recordkeeping will
comprise 1⁄2 hour, and the remaining 1⁄2
is split between the other tasks. We
assume that 90% of policies will
involve a new origination, and 10% of
policies will involve a change in status.
With 3,718 respondents holding a
median of 30 policies and 1 hour of
burden per policy, we calculate a total
burden of 111,540 hours. This burden is
apportioned to each task as shown in
Table 1 above.
General Description of Collection:
Each supervised lending institution is
currently required to provide a notice of
special flood hazards to each borrower
with a loan secured by a building or
mobile home located or to be located in
