Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) publishes the
final figure in mid-May of each year. This figure is
publicly available from the Division of Industrial
Prices and Price Indexes of the BLS, at 202–691–
7705, and in print in August in Table 1 of the
annual data supplement to the BLS publication
Producer Price Indexes via the internet at http://
www.bls.gov/ppi/home.htm. To obtain the BLS
data, scroll down to ‘‘PPI Databases’’ and click on
‘‘Top Picks’’ of the Commodity Data including
‘‘headline’’ FD–ID indexes (Producer Price Index—
PPI). At the next screen, under the heading ‘‘PPI
Commodity Data,’’ select the box, ‘‘Finished
goods—WPUFD49207,’’ then scroll to the bottom of
this screen and click on Retrieve data.

December 17, 2020, that PPI–FG + 0.78
is the appropriate oil pricing index
factor for pipelines to use for the five-
year period commencing July 1, 2021.
The regulations provide that the
Commission will publish annually an
index figure reflecting the final change
in the PPI–FG after the Bureau of Labor
Statistics publishes the final PPI–FG in
May of each calendar year. The annual
average PPI–FG index figures were
205.7 for 2019 and 202.9 for 2020.

Thus, the percent change (expressed as
a decimal) in the annual average PPI–FG
from 2019 to 2020, plus 0.78 percent, is
negative 0.005812.

Introduction. On September 29, 2020,
in its continuing effort to combat illegal
robocalls, the Federal Communications
Commission (Commission) adopted a
Second Report and Order which, among
other things, required all voice service
providers to file certifications with the
Commission regarding their efforts to
stem the origination of illegal robocalls
on their networks. The Commission
further directed the Wireline
Competition Bureau (Bureau) to
establish a publicly accessible database
in which such certifications would be
listed, and to issue a protective order
regarding the treatment of any
confidential and highly confidential
information included in said
certifications. Consistent with this
direction, the Bureau now provides
information and seeks comment on
adopting a Protective Order similar to
that used by the Bureau in other
proceedings, with modifications
appropriate in the context of the
Robocall Mitigation Database.
The Commission’s rules require voice
service providers to certify that their
traffic is either signed with STIR/
SHAKEN caller ID authentication
technology or subject to a robocall
mitigation program. Voice service
providers that certify that some or all of
their traffic is subject to a robocall
mitigation program are also required to
detail in their certifications the
reasonable steps they have taken to
avoid originating illegal robocall traffic.
In establishing this public database, the
Commission stated its goals were to
promote transparency and to allow and
encourage industry to self-police by
making robocall mitigation plans visible
to other voice service providers and the
public at large. A party could, for
example, review a robocall mitigation
plan to determine whether it wishes to
do business with the voice service
provider or to report insufficient
robocall mitigation efforts to the
Commission. At the same time,
recognizing the potential sensitivity of
this information, the Commission
directed the Bureau to adopt a
Protective Order governing submission
of and access to confidential and highly
confidential information included with
the certifications. We seek comment
below on the procedures for submitting
and accessing confidential and highly
confidential information submitted in
conjunction with this proceeding.
Submission of Information. We
propose to adopt in the Protective Order
a process for submitting confidential
information described in the Public
Notice announcing the Robocall
Mitigation Database. In that Public
Notice, we explained that filers are
‘‘able to request that any materials or
information submitted to the
Commission in their certifications be
withheld from public inspection.’’ We
further explained that, to submit a
confidential filing, a voice service
provider ‘‘must first submit a
confidentiality request in WC Docket No
17–97 through the Commission’s
Electronic Comment Filing System
(ECFS)’’ and ‘‘will then be able to
submit redacted (i.e., public) and
unredacted (i.e., non-public) copies of
its robocall mitigation program
description via the Commission’s
portal.’’ Having considered the issue
further, we propose formalizing this
approach in the Protective Order. Rather
than ask for redacted copies of
confidential and highly confidential
documents to be filed through the
Commission’s Electronic Comment
Filing System (ECFS), our proposed
Protective Order would direct voice
service providers to file a request for
confidentiality in ECFS and then submit
any redacted copies of documents
directly through the portal
accompanying the database. This
proposed Protective Order would also
direct providers to file unredacted
copies of confidential and highly
confidential documents through the
database’s portal, which differs from the
typical Protective Order process of
submitting these documents to the
Secretary’s Office and designated
Bureau staff. We seek comment on these
proposals and whether we should
modify the process described in the
earlier Public Notice.
Access to Information. We seek
comment on which parties should and
should not ultimately be granted access
to the confidential and highly
confidential information included by
voice service providers in their
certifications. We propose only allowing
access to limited categories of entities
and individuals and only after such
entities or individuals complete an
appropriate process. We propose that
entities or individuals that may seek to
obtain access include: Federal, state,
local, and Tribal governmental entities
involved in robocall enforcement; the
registered industry traceback
consortium; the STIR/SHAKEN
Governance Authority; and intermediate
providers and voice service providers
who accept call traffic directly from a
voice service provider listed in the
database and request to review what
actions that provider is taking to combat
the origination of illegal robocalls. For
this final group, we propose limiting
access to the requesting party’s outside
counsel and consultants, as well as the
employees and support personnel of
these outside firms. We propose limiting

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 98 / Monday, May 24, 2021 / Notices
access to these groups to balance the
Commission’s goals of promoting
transparency in robocall mitigation
efforts and protecting providers’
sensitive information from competitors
and bad actors attempting to circumvent
these mitigation efforts. We seek
comment on this proposed scope of
eligible reviewing parties, and whether
a broader or narrower group would
better balance the goals of promoting
transparency and protecting sensitive
information. We also propose adopting
the standard process for obtaining
access to confidential and highly
confidential information used by the
Bureau in other proceedings. This
process would require any person other
than support personnel seeking access
to confidential or highly confidential
information pursuant to the Protective
Order to sign and date an
Acknowledgement of Confidentiality
agreeing to be bound by the terms and
conditions of the Protective Order, and
to file the Acknowledgment with the
Commission and deliver a copy to the
filing provider.
Other Protective Order Provisions.
Beyond the changes proposed above, we
propose adopting the standard
provisions found in other Commission
Protective Orders. For example, we
propose adopting standard provisions
governing the designation of
information as confidential or highly
confidential, challenges to designations,
the procedure for objecting to the
disclosure of confidential or highly
confidential information, and the review
of confidential and highly confidential
documents. Additionally, we propose
adopting similar appendices, including
one which contains an
Acknowledgement of Confidentiality,
and another which details what
information and documents can be
designated as highly confidential. We
seek comment on whether and how we
should modify these provisions or
appendices in the context of the
Robocall Mitigation Database.
Ex Parte Rules. This proceeding shall
be treated as a ‘‘permit-but-disclose’’
proceeding in accordance with the
Commission’s ex parte rules. Persons
making ex parte presentations must file
a copy of any written presentation or a
memorandum summarizing any oral
presentation within two business days
after the presentation (unless a different
deadline applicable to the Sunshine
period applies). Persons making oral ex
parte presentations are reminded that
memoranda summarizing the
presentation must: (1) List all persons
attending or otherwise participating in
the meeting at which the ex parte
presentation was made; and (2)
summarize all data presented and
arguments made during the
presentation. If the presentation
consisted in whole or in part of the
presentation of data or arguments
already reflected in the presenters
written comments, memoranda, or other
filings in the proceeding, the presenter
may provide citations to such data or
arguments in his or her prior comments,
memoranda, or other filings (specifying
the relevant page and/or paragraph
numbers where such data or arguments
can be found) in lieu of summarizing
them in the memorandum. Documents
shown or given to Commission staff
during ex parte meetings are deemed to
be written ex parte presentations and
must be filed consistent with section
1.1206(b) of the Commission’s rules. In
proceedings governed by section 1.49(f)
of the rules or for which the
Commission has made available a
method of electronic filing, written ex
parte presentations and memoranda
summarizing oral ex parte
presentations, and all attachments
thereto, must be filed through the
electronic comment filing system
available for that proceeding, and must
be filed in their native format (e.g., .doc,
.xml., .ppt, searchable .pdf). Participants
in this proceeding should familiarize
themselves with the Commission’s ex
parte rules.
