Abstract:
47 CFR Parts 64 and 68 of the Commission's rules contain procedures for avoiding unwanted telephone solicitations to residences, and to regulate the use of automatic telephone dialing systems, artificial or prerecorded voice messages, and telephone facsimile machines. The Commission believes that the recordkeeping requirement is the best means of preventing unwanted telephone solicitations.

Short Statement:
The Commission corrected and reevaluated the burdens associated with this information collection. For example, the burden hours and costs associated with 47 C.F.R. ยง 64.1200(g) compliance increased significantly because the prior calculation did not reflect the annual notification requirement, but instead indicated that the notification would occur "on occasion." With respect to other information collection requirements contained herein, the Commission makes the following assessments described herein: (1) The Commission's estimate for the total annual number of respondents has increased by +754, from 49,397 respondents to 50,151 respondents; (2) The Commission's estimate for the total annual number of responses has increased by +11,801,846 from 135,607,383 responses to 147,409,229 responses; (3) The Commission's estimate for the total annual burden hours has increased by +59,027 from 625,406 hours to 684,433 hours; and (4) The Commission's estimate for the total annual costs has decreased by -$600,300, $4,590,000 to $3,989,700. With this submission, the Commission used data from FCC Form 499-A filings and the FTC's Biennial Report to Congress to reexamined and reevaluated the data in this supporting statement. There are no program changes.
