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. This information that applicants (entities) submit on FCC Form 161 is used to change or update information in the CORES system for entity's name, address, Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), telephone number, email, fax, contact representative address, telephone number, email and fax. The Commission Registration System (CORES) assigns each entity doing business with the Commission a FCC Registration Number (FRN). The FRN is used to collect and to report any delinquent amounts arising from such applicant's (entity's) relationship with the FCC. The respondents are anyone doing business with the FCC.
