The Federal Communications Commission
seeks to revise an existing information collection associated with
the Advanced Methods to Target and Eliminate Unlawful Robocalls
Sixth Report and Order and Call Authentication Trust Anchor Fifth
Report and Order (“Gateway Provider Report and Order”). These
revisions stem from the Advanced Methods to Target and Eliminate
Unlawful Robocalls Eighth Report and Order (“Call Blocking Eighth
Report and Order”). Unwanted and illegal robocalls have long been
the Federal Communication Commission’s (“Commission”) top source of
consumer complaints and one of the Commission’s top consumer
protection priorities. Foreign-originated robocalls represent a
significant portion of illegal robocalls, and gateway providers
serve as a critical choke-point for reducing the number of illegal
robocalls received by American consumers. In the Gateway Provider
Report and Order, the Commission took steps to prevent these
foreign-originated illegal robocalls from reaching consumers and to
help track these calls back to the source. Along with further
extension of the Commission’s caller ID authentication requirements
and Robocall Mitigation Database filing requirements, the
Commission adopted several robocall mitigation requirements,
including a requirement for gateway providers to respond to
traceback within 24 hours, mandatory blocking requirements, a “know
your upstream provider” requirement, and a general mitigation
requirement.
There are no adjustments to
this information collection as a result of the information
collection requirements adopted in FCC 25-15. However, there are
program changes/increases to the annual hours of +77,916 hours as
result of the information collections adopted in FCC 25-15.
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.
