Abstract: The Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (PSHSB or Bureau) is submitting a non-substantive change request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in order to establish mandatory electronic filing of System Security and Integrity Policies and Procedures (SSI Plans) by covered entities under the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) through the new CALEA Electronic Filing System (CEFS) (OMB Control No. 3060-0809). CEFS requires users to register with and use the Commission Registration System (OMB Control Nos. 3060-0917 and 3060-0918) and to electronically file Requests for Confidential Treatment (OMB Control No. 3060-0862). When mandatory electronic filing becomes effective, SSI Plans will be required to be submitted electronically through CEFS: https://www.fcc.gov/cefs. When mandatory electronic filing becomes effective, paper versions of SSI Plans will no longer be accepted. Section 1.20005 of the Commission’s rules will be updated to reflect this change. Other than mandatory electronic filing, there are no other changes to this information collection. PSHSB issued the order to amend section 1.20005 to establish mandatory filing and the new rule will become effective 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. The Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) requires (a) telecommunications carriers to protect against unlawful interception of communications of their facilities by establishing policies and procedures to ensure security and integrity of those facilities and to maintain records of all interceptions of unlawful electronic surveillance, and (b) the FCC to prescribe CALEA implementing rules and to review the carriers' filings under Section 301(b) and to order any deficiencies to be corrected. Information collections include mandatory system security filings, and voluntary extension of time and cost reimbursement petitions.
