Abstract:
Section 214 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, requires that the FCC review the establishment, acquisition, operation, and extension of lines, and the discontinuance of service by interstate common carriers. This OMB collection pertains primarily to section 63.71 and other related sections of the Commission's rules, which govern the application process for receiving authority for discontinuance, impairment or reduction in service. The discontinuance obligations that apply to domestic non-dominant telecommunications carriers have been extended to providers of interconnected VoIP service. In July 2016, the Commission revised its discontinuance procedures to ease certain burdens on incumbent local exchange carriers and competitive local exchange carriers. It also revised its rules to ensure that Tribal Nations receive notice of planned discontinuances, reductions, or impairments of service on Tribal lands that may impact their residents.
