Justification for Non-Substantive Change Request

Justification for Non-Substantive Changes to Performance Evaluation of Numbering Administration Vendor(s)

OMB Control No. 3060-1307

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is requesting the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for non-substantive changes to the four numbering administrator surveys that were approved under the existing OMB Control No. 3060-1307.

The proposed changes would eliminate the option in the survey instructions, available at a weblink sent to respondents, for respondents to submit a paper or PDF version of the surveys to the co-chairs of the Numbering Administration Oversight Working Group (NAOWG) of the North American Numbering Council. Rather, respondents must submit their response via questions to be filled out at the weblink survey that was already approved under this collection. We also propose to add to the survey instructions the contact information for two additional co-Chairs of the NAOWG to whom respondents can reach out for questions. Finally, we have made various minor formatting and phrasing changes to the instructions for the survey.

All proposed changes would be made to the explanatory language the respondent sees when they click on the weblink. There are no proposed changes to the survey questions. Therefore there will be no change to the information collected or to respondents’ approved burdens.

The proposed changes will assist the Commission and the NAOWG in performing its surveys in a timely manner to aid in the evaluation of the numbering administrators.
