Abstract: The Federal Communications Commission submits this non-substantive change request to require electronic filing of certain required submissions using a Communications Assistance to Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) Electronic Filing System (CEFS). The CALEA information collection is currently approved under OMB control no. 3060-0809. This non-substantive change from paper filing to electronic filing also requires approval for non-substantive changes to three other general Commission information collections OMB control Nos. 3060-0917, 3060-0918, and 3060-0862 (see justification). The Report and Order in the Matter of Examination of Current Policy Concerning the Treatment of Confidential Information Submitted to the Commission, GC Docket No. 96-55, requires that (a) parties entering into a protective order keep a log of those who have access to the confidential materials and make the log available to the submitter of the confidential materials, and (b) there is a showing necessary to support a request for confidentiality.
