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 November 2023, the FCC released the SIM Swap and Port-Out Fraud Order (88 FR 85794 (December 8, 2023)), which modifies the existing CPNI collection requirements to establish a framework to combat SIM swap fraud. In December 2023, the Commission released the Data Breach Report and Order (89 FR 9968 (February 12, 2024)), which modifies the scope of customer data and reportable breaches covered by the Commission’s rules, and also modifies the Commission’s data breach notification rules to require covered service providers to electronically notify the FCC of a reportable data breach, and adopts equivalent requirements for telecommunications relay services (TRS) providers.

Short Statement: Since the last submission to OMB, the Commission is reporting program changes due to the adoption of the information collection requirements adopted in the SIM Swap and Port-Out Fraud Order, FCC 23-95 and the Data Breach Reporting Requirements Order, FCC 23-111. These program changes are as follows: the total annual responses increased by +91,713,031, the total annual burden hours increased by +286,245 and the total annual costs increased by +11,000,000. These program changes are attributed to the implementation of new obligations in the SIM Swap and Port-Out Fraud Order and the Data Breach Reporting Requirements Order will require additional hours to design, develop, test, and implement procedures, engage in recordkeeping, and provide notices to customers. The Commission has also removed the “cost study” and “certification” burdens. The Commission deleted the “cost study” section because it is not an information collection but rather a procedure to help ensure rates for subscriber list information is reasonable. The Commission also deleted the “certification” section because this type of certification is not an information collection. The Commission is also reporting adjustments to this information collection. The total number of respondents increased by +135, whereas the total annual responses decreased by -94,411,964, and the total annual burden hours decreased by -201,402. These adjustments to the total number of respondents to these information collections are based on the total number of annual CPNI reports filed for calendar year 2023, the most recent year for which we have such data.[1] As discussed in this Supporting Statement, we believe that most respondents have previously developed and currently use a digital internal system to manage and respond to many compliance obligations. Because of this, the burden for many compliance obligations is now limited to new entrants. [1] See section 12.a., supra.
