Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Information of a proprietary nature submitted to Database Services Management, Inc. (DSMI) will not be disclosed, pursuant to DSMI's policy. The Commission, however, is granted access to information pertinent to determining that RespOrgs are abiding by Commission rules. The Commission is not requesting that the respondents submit confidential information to the FCC. Respondents may, however, request confidential treatment for information they believe to be confidential under 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission's rules.
Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this information
collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) after this 60
day comment period in order to obtain the full three year clearance
from them. The Commission is requesting an extension (no change in the
reporting and/or third party disclosure requirements) of this
information collection. There is no change to the estimated number of
respondents/responses and annual burden hours. This information
collection requires RespOrgs requesting that specific toll free numbers
be placed in unavailable status to submit written requests, with
appropriate documentation, to the toll free database administrator,
Database Services Management, Inc. (DSMI). This requirement will hold
those RespOrgs more accountable and will decrease abuses of lag time
process. It will also prevent numbers from being held in an unavailable status without demonstrated reasons, and will make
[[Page 34757]]
more numbers available for subscribers who need and want them. If DSMI
is uncertain whether a number should be placed in unavailable status,
it should seek guidance from the Commission's Wireline Competition Bureau.
Current industry guidelines already require that RespOrgs
requesting to place a toll free number in unavailable status submit
written requests to DSMI with appropriate documentation. This
collection requirement simply codifies the existing industry
guidelines. DSMI (and, if necessary the FCC), will continue to use the
information collected to determine if a particular toll free number
appropriately can be placed in ``unavailable'' status. This will prevent the fraudulent use of toll free numbers.
