Abstract: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is requesting the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for non-substantive changes to the four numbering administrator surveys that were approved under the existing OMB Control No. 3060-1307. The proposed changes would eliminate the option in the survey instructions, available at a weblink sent to respondents, for respondents to submit a paper or PDF version of the surveys to the co-chairs of the Numbering Administration Oversight Working Group (NAOWG) of the North American Numbering Council. Rather, respondents must submit their response via questions to be filled out at the weblink survey that was already approved under this collection. We also propose to add to the survey instructions the contact information for two additional co-Chairs of the NAOWG to whom respondents can reach out for questions. Finally, we have made various minor formatting and phrasing changes to the instructions for the survey. This collection covers the burden for an annual performance satisfaction survey of its vendor(s) acting as administrators for various telephone number management functions. These functions may be performed by one or multiple vendors under one or multiple contracts. The vendor(s) act pursuant to their contract(s) with the FCC and the FCC’s numbering rules.
