SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
: As part of
its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork burdens, as required by the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), the FCC invited
the general public and other Federal
Agencies to take this opportunity to
comment on the following information
collection. Comments are requested
concerning: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Commission, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
Commission’s burden estimates; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information collected; and
(d) ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on the
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Pursuant to the Small Business
Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, Public
Law 107–198, see 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(4),
the FCC seeks specific comment on how
it might ‘‘further reduce the information
collection burden for small business
concerns with fewer than 25
employees.’’
OMB Control Number: 3060–0430.
Title: Section 1.1206, Permit-but-
Disclose Proceedings.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Individuals or
households; Business or other for-profit;
Not-for-profit institutions; Federal
Government; and State, local, or tribal
governments.
Number of Respondent and
Responses: 11,500 respondents; 34,500
responses.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain benefits. Statutory authority for
this collection of information is
contained in sections 4(i) and (j), 303(r),
and 409 of the Communications Act of
1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 154(i) and
(j), 303(r), and 409.
Estimated Time per Response: 45
minutes (0.75 hours).
Total Annual Burden: 25,875 hours.
Total Annual Costs: No cost.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
Consistent with the Commission’s rules
on confidential treatment of
submissions, under 47 CFR 0.459, a
presenter may request confidential
treatment of ex parte presentations. In
addition, the Commission will permit
parties to remove metadata containing
confidential or privileged information,
and the Commission will also not
require parties to file electronically ex
parte notices that contain confidential
information. The Commission will,
however, require a redacted version to
be filed electronically at the same time
the paper filing is submitted, and that
the redacted version must be machine-
readable whenever technically possible.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Needs and Uses: The Commission’s
rules, under 47 CFR 1.1206, require that
a public record be made of ex parte
presentations (i.e., written presentations
not served on all parties to the
proceeding or oral presentations as to
which all parties have not been given
notice and an opportunity to be present)
to decision-making personnel in
‘‘permit-but-disclose’’ proceedings, such
as notice-and-comment rulemakings and
declaratory ruling proceedings.
On February 2, 2011, the FCC released
a Report and Order and Further Notice
of Proposed Rulemaking, GC Docket
Number 10–43, FCC 11–11, which
amended and reformed the
Commission’s rules on ex parte
presentations (47 CFR 1.1206(b)(2))
made in the course of Commission
rulemakings and other permit-but-
disclose proceedings. The modifications
to the existing rules adopted in this
Report and Order require that parties
file more descriptive summaries of their
ex parte contacts, by ensuring that other
parties and the public have an adequate
opportunity to review and respond to
information submitted ex parte, and by
improving the FCC’s oversight and
enforcement of the ex parte rules. The
modified ex parte rules which contain
information collection requirements
which OMB approved on December 6,
2011, are as follows: (1) Ex parte notices
will be required for all oral ex parte
presentations in permit-but-disclose
proceedings, not just for those
presentations that involve new
information or arguments not already in
the record; (2) If an oral ex parte
presentation is limited to material
already in the written record, the notice
must contain either a succinct summary
of the matters discussed or a citation to
the page or paragraph number in the
party’s written submission(s) where the
matters discussed can be found; (3)
Notices for all ex parte presentations
must include the name of the person(s)
who made the ex parte presentation as
well as a list of all persons attending or
otherwise participating in the meeting at
which the presentation was made; (4)
Notices of ex parte presentations made
outside the Sunshine period must be
filed within two business days of the
presentation; (5) The Sunshine period
will begin on the day (including
business days, weekends, and holidays)
after issuance of the Sunshine notice,
rather than when the Sunshine Agenda
is issued (as the current rules provide);
(6) If an ex parte presentation is made

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 183 / Monday, September 21, 2020 / Notices
on the day the Sunshine notice is
released, an ex parte notice must be
submitted by the next business day, and
any reply would be due by the following
business day. If a permissible ex parte
presentation is made during the
Sunshine period (under an exception to
the Sunshine period prohibition), the ex
parte notice is due by the end of the
same day on which the presentation was
made, and any reply would need to be
filed by the next business day. Any
reply must be in writing and limited to
the issues raised in the ex parte notice
to which the reply is directed; (7)
Commissioners and agency staff may
continue to request ex parte
presentations during the Sunshine
period, but these presentations should
be limited to the specific information
required by the Commission; (8) Ex
parte notices must be submitted
electronically in machine-readable
format. PDF images created by scanning
a paper document may not be
submitted, except in cases in which a
word-processing version of the
document is not available. Confidential
information may continue to be
submitted by paper filing, but a redacted
version must be filed electronically at
the same time the paper filing is
submitted. An exception to the
electronic filing requirement will be
made in cases in which the filing party
claims hardship. The basis for the
hardship claim must be substantiated in
the ex parte filing; (9) To facilitate
stricter enforcement of the ex parte
rules, the Enforcement Bureau is
authorized to levy forfeitures for ex
parte rule violations; (10) Copies of
electronically filed ex parte notices
must also be sent electronically to all
staff and Commissioners present at the
ex parte meeting so as to enable them
to review the notices for accuracy and
completeness. Filers may be asked to
submit corrections or further
information as necessary for compliance
with the rules; and (11) Parties making
permissible ex parte presentations in
restricted proceedings must conform
and clarify rule changes when filing an
ex parte notice with the Commission.
The information is used by parties to
permit-but-disclose proceedings,
including interested members of the
public, to respond to the arguments
made and data offered in the
presentations. The responses may then
be used by the Commission in its
decision-making.
The availability of the ex parte
materials ensures that the Commission’s
decisional processes are fair, impartial,
and comport with the concept of due
process in that all interested parties can
know of and respond to the arguments
made to the decision-making officials.
