The Commission has found that rural call completion is a continuing problem imposing needless economic and personal costs on local communities, and that continued Commission focus on the issue is warranted. The information collected through these data collections will facilitate industry collaboration to address call completion issues.

Changing Regulations
The Commission is reporting program changes to this revised collection—specifically, the removal of the recordkeeping and retention requirements. These program changes to the Commission’s previous burden estimates are a result of the Commission’s elimination of the recordkeeping and retention requirements contained in the 2019 RCC Order. As a result of these changes, covered providers are no longer required to maintain records of call completion data. We previously estimated that respondents would require 48 hours per year to respond to the recordkeeping requirements. In eliminating the recordkeeping requirement, we accordingly reduce the total number of responses by 56, and the annual burden hours to respondents by 48 hours. We estimate that the point of contact publication requirement will continue to require one hour of response time annually per covered provider, for a total annual burden of 56 hours. Overall, this reduces the total annual burden hours of this information collection by 2,688 hours. Regarding annualized costs, our previous estimate annualized the cost of the recordkeeping and reporting rules over 8 years, assuming that the reporting and retention rules would end at the end of the transition for reforming intercarrier compensation, which we estimated would take approximately 8 years. We believe covered providers have already expended the initial startup costs associated with these rules, moreover, the recordkeeping and reporting rules have been sunset and are no longer in effect. Therefore, we reduce the total annual costs associated with this information collection from $350,000 to $0.
