     Total Annual Burden: 11,250 hours (1,250 respondents x 12 reports

     Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
     Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for

     Need and Uses: The Commission is requesting an extension (no

Management and Budget (OMB). There is no change in the Commission's 
estimates.
    Part 69 of the Commission's rules and regulations establishes the 
rules for access charges for interstate or foreign access provided by 
telephone companies on or after January 1, 1984. Part 69 essentially 
consists of rules or the procedures for the computation of access 
charges which are not information collections as defined by 5 CFR 1320 
(OMB's regulations). Any reporting or disclosure occurs in connection 
with particular tariff filings and other reporting requirements with 
the FCC, National Exchange Carrier Association (NECA), or state 
commissions or with records maintained in accordance to the Uniform 
System of Accounts (USOA).
    The information is used to compute charges in tariffs for access 
service (or origination and termination) and to compute revenue pool 
distributions. Neither process could be implemented without the 
information.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
