Information Collection Approved by the Office of Management and 
Budget

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission (Commission) announces 
that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has approved a new 
information collection associated with the Commission's 833 Auction 
Procedures Public Notice (FCC 19-75) (Public Notice), for a period of 
three years pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. An agency 
may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it 
displays a currently valid OMB control number, and no person is 
required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid control number. Comments concerning the accuracy of the 
burden estimates and any suggestions for reducing the burden should be 
directed to the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT 
section below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nicole Ongele, [email protected], 
(202) 418-2991.

for the respondents are as follows:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-1266.
    OMB Approval Date: December 12, 2019.
    OMB Expiration Date: December 31, 2022.
    Title: Toll Free Number Auctions.
    Form Number: FCC Form 5633.
    Respondents: Individuals or Households, Business or other for-
profit, Not-for-profit Institutions, Farms and/or Federal, State, Local 
and/or Tribal government agencies.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 1,220 respondents; 1,220 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.084 hours (5 minutes)-0.166 hours 
(10 minutes).
    Frequency of Response: On occasion and one-time reporting 
requirements.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 
U.S.C. 251(e)(1).
    Total Annual Burden: 105 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No Cost.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission is not 
requesting that respondents for this information collection (LOA and 
Secondary Market) submit confidential information to the FCC. For 
individuals, the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a, is the statutory authority 
for confidentiality and it applies to this information collection. 
Respondents may, however, request confidential treatment for 
information they believe to be confidential under 47 CFR 0.459 of the 
Commission's rules.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: The Commission will determine if a 
Privacy Act Impact Assessment is required. The System of Records 
Notice, FCC/WCB-2, Toll Free Number Auction System is available on the 
FCC's website.
    Needs and Uses: On September 27, 2018, the Commission released a 
Report and Order in WC Docket No. 17-192, FCC 18-137 (Report and 
Order). In the Report and Order, the Commission established competitive 
bidding as a toll free number assignment method, and called for an 
auction for select numbers in the toll free code 833 as an experiment 
to test this method. To verify the relationship between the responsible 
organization (RespOrg) and the potential subscriber, a Letter of 
Authorization (LOA) is required during the bidding process. 
Additionally, a key component to the effectiveness of the auction is 
the adoption of a post-auction secondary market (Secondary Market) for 
the sale of the rights to use 833 code toll free numbers won at 
auction. Collecting data on Secondary Market transactions will allow 
the Commission to evaluate the operation of the secondary market which 
is an important component of the toll free number auction experiment, 
and to determine the potential use of competitive bidding in future 
toll free number assignments.

Federal Communications Commission.
