and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the 
following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520. An agency may not conduct 
or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently 
valid control number. No person shall be subject to any penalty for 
failing to comply with a collection of information subject to the 
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that does not display a valid control 
number. 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 estimate; (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.

DATES: Persons wishing to comments on this information collection 
should submit comments on December 28, 2009. If you anticipate that you 
will be submitting comments, but find it difficult to do so within the

requesting that respondents submit confidential information. Any 
respondent who submits information to the Commission that they believe 
is confidential may request confidential treatment of such information 
under 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission's rules.
     Need and Uses: The Commission is submitting this expiring 
information collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) as 
an extension (no change in the reporting and/or third party disclosure 
requirements) in order to obtain the full three year clearance from 
them. There is no change in the Commission's burden estimates.
    The proposed requirements implement section 706 of the 
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, to promote deployment of 
advanced services without significantly degrading the performance of 
other services. In CC Docket No. 98-147, the Commission solicited 
comment on whether requesting carriers should receive demographic and 
other information from ILECs to determine

whether they wish to collocate in particular remote terminals. In CC 
Docket No. 96-98, the Commission sought comment on whether ILECs should 
provide certain notifications to competing carriers.
    This proposed collection is used by the Commission, state 
commissions, and competitive carriers to facilitate the deployment of 
advanced services and other telecommunications services.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
