Abstract: Section 251(b)(2) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended requires LECs to “provide, to the extent technically feasible, number portability in accordance with requirements prescribed by the Commission.” Through the LNP process, consumers have the ability to retain their phone number when switching telecommunications service providers, enabling them to choose a provider that best suits their needs and enhancing competition. In the Porting Interval Order and Further Notice, the Commission mandated a one business day porting interval for simple wireline-to-wireline and intermodal port requests. The information collected in the standard local service request data fields is necessary to complete simple wireline-to-wireline and intermodal ports within the one business day porting interval mandated by the by the Commission and will be used to comply with Section 251 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996.

Short Statement: The Commission is reporting adjustments/increases to this information collection. The total respondents increased from 3,616 to 3,631 (+15), the total annual responses increased from 10,001,890 to 10,002,005 (+115) and the total annual burden hours from 672,516 to 673,460 (+944). The burden for petitions to extend implementation deadlines was decreased because the Commission has received few petitions in the last several years. The burden for tariff filings was increased to provide an approximation for the number of tariff filings received by the Commission. These changes account for the resulting increases in respondents, responses, and burden hours. In the previous submission, the Commission inadvertently overstated the burden hours by 6 hours due to a typographical error. This figure has been corrected and is now reflected in this submission to OMB. The program costs decreased by $13,424,320 to $0 because the costs of completed simple wireline and intermodal ports had been accounted for twice in the previous calculation, in error. We believe the costs for compliance with this requirement will be handled in-house, rather than contracted out, and therefore have included those in-house costs in section 12 of the Supporting Statement.
