Abstract:
This information collection implements the statutory obligations of section 222 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 222. These regulations impose safeguards to protect customers' CPNI against unauthorized access and disclosure. In March 2007, the Commission adopted new rules, which focused on the efforts of communications service providers to prevent pretexting. These rules require providers of communications services to adopt additional privacy safeguards that, the Commission believes, will sharply limit pretexters' ability to obtain unauthorized access to the type of personal customer information from carriers that the Commission regulates. In addition, the Commission's rules help ensure that law enforcement will have necessary tools to investigate and enforce prohibitions on illegal access to customer records.

Short Statement:
For the Password and Back Up Authentication Methods collection, the total number of annual responses decreased from 87,479,280 to 39,603,600, a decrease of 47,875,680. The previous collection incorrectly calculated the total number of customers nationwide at 437,378,400 instead of the correct number of 198,000,000, based on the Voice Telephone Services Report (formerly Local Telephone Competition Report). Because the number of responses has been reduced, the total burden hours are also decreased in turn, from 178,551 to 82,800, a decrease of 95,751. For the same reason, the total number of responses for the Notification of Account Changes collection decreased from 87,476,040 to 39,600,360, a decrease of 47,875,680, and the burden hours decreased from 175,311 to 79,560, a decrease of 95,751 burden hours. Based upon comments received in response to the Federal Register notice on this collection asserting that the burden hour for this collection was too low, the burden hours for the Compliance Guidance Certification requirement increased from 10,800 total burden hours to 147,600 total burden hours, an increase of 136,800 hours. For the same reasons, the burden hours for the Event Histories Recordkeeping requirement increased from 1,800 total burden hours to 147,600 total burden hours, an increase of 145,800 hours. Based on these adjustments to this collection, the total annual responses decreased by -95,751,360 and the total annual burden hours increased by 91,098. Also, the total annual cost has increased from $3,000,000.00 to $4,000,000.00 (+$1,000,000.00) due to an increase in the salary per hour of employing outside consultants. There are no program changes.
