SUMMARY: The Federal Communications
Commission, as part of its continuing
effort to reduce paperwork burden
invites the general public 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, Public Law 104–13. 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 comment on
this information collection should
submit comments October 3, 2005. If
you anticipate that you will be
submitting comments, but find it
difficult to do so within the period of
time allowed by this notice, you should
advise the contact listed below as soon
as possible.

attention of Judith B. Herman, Federal
Communications Commission, 445 12th

additional information about the
information collection(s) send an email

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control No.: 3060–0515.
Title: Section 43.21(c), Miscellaneous
Common Carrier Annual Letter Filing
Requirement.
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for
profit.
Number of Respondents: 38.
Estimated Time Per Response: 1 hour.
Frequency of Response: Annual
reporting requirement.
Total Annual Burden: 38 hours.
Annual Cost Burden: N/A.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Needs and Uses: Section 43.21(c)
requires each miscellaneous common
carrier with operating revenues in
excess of the indexed threshold as
defined in 47 CFR Section 32.9000 for
a calendar year to file with the Chief,
Wireline Competition Bureau (formerly
the Common Carrier Bureau) a letter
showing its operating revenues for that
year and the value of its total
communications plant at the end of that
year. The letter must be filed no later
than April 1 of the following year. The
information is used by FCC staff
members to regulate and monitor the
telephone industry and by the public to
analyze the industry. The information
on revenues and total plant is compiled
and published in the Commission’s
annual common carrier statistical
publication and trends in telephone
service report.
The Commission is seeking extension
(no change to this information
collection) in order to obtain the full
three-year clearance from OMB.
OMB Control No.: 3060–0526.
Title: Density Pricing Zone Plans,
Expanded Interconnection with Local
Telephone Company Facilities, CC
Docket No. 91–141.
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for

Estimated Time Per Response: 48
hour.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement.
Total Annual Burden: 816 hours.
Annual Cost Burden: N/A.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
requires Tier 1 Local Exchange Carriers
(LECs) to provide expanded
opportunities for third-party
interconnection with their interstate
special access facilities. The LECs are
permitted to establish a number of rate
zones within study areas in which
expanded interconnection is
operational. In the Fifth Report and
Order in CC Docket No. 96–262, the
Commission allows price cap LECs to
define the scope and number of zones
within a study area. These LECs must
file and obtain approval of their pricing
plans which will be used by FCC staff
to ensure that the rates are just,
reasonable and nondiscriminatory.
The Commission is seeking extension
(no change to this information
collection) in order to obtain the full
three-year clearance from OMB.
OMB Control No.: 3060–0770.
Title: Price Cap Performance Review
for Local Exchange Carriers (LECs), CC
Docket No. 94–1 (New Services).
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for
profit.
Number of Respondents: 17.
Estimated Time Per Response: 10
hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement.
Total Annual Burden: 170 hours.
Annual Cost Burden: N/A.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Needs and Uses: In the Fifth Report
and Order, the Commission permits
price cap LECs to introduce new
services on a streamlined basis without
prior approval. The Commission
modified the rules to eliminate the
public interest showing required by
Section 69.4(g) and to eliminate the new
services test (except in the case of loopbased new services) required under
Sections 61.49(f) and (g). These
modifications eliminated the delays that
existed for the introduction of new
services as well as to encourage efficient
investment and innovation.
The Commission no longer requires
an incumbent LEC to introduce a new
service by filing a waiver under Part 69
of the Commission’s rules. Instead,
incumbent LECs are allowed to file a
petition for the new service based on a
E:\FR\FM\03AUN1.SGM
03AUN1
44646
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 148 / Wednesday, August 3, 2005 / Notices
public interest standard. After the first
incumbent LEC has satisfied the public
interest requirement for establishing
new rate elements for a new switched
access service, other incumbent price
cap LECs can file petitions seeking
authority to introduce identical rate
elements for identical new services, and
their petitions will be reviewed within
ten days. If the Wireline Competition
Bureau (formerly the Common Carrier
Bureau) does not act within the
prescribed time, authority to establish
the rate elements in question are
deemed granted. In the event the Bureau
denies an incumbent LEC’s initial
petition, or a subsequent petition filed
by another incumbent LEC, the
petitioner must file a Part 69 waiver
petition.
The Commission is seeking extension
(no change to this information
collection) in order to obtain the full
three-year clearance from OMB.
OMB Control No.: 3060–0793.
Title: Federal-State Joint Board on
Universal Service, CC Docket No. 96–45,
Procedures for Self Certifying as a Rural
Carrier.
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for
profit and State, local or tribal
government.
Number of Respondents: 10.
Estimated Time Per Response: 1 hour.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement and third party
disclosure requirement.
Total Annual Burden: 10 hours.
Annual Cost Burden: N/A.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Needs and Uses: In the Tenth Report
and Order, the Commission adopted
proposals that carriers servicing study
areas with fewer than 100,000 access
lines that already have certified their
rural status need not re-certify for
purposes of receiving support beginning
January 1, 2001 and need only file
thereafter if their status changes.
Further, carriers serving more than
100,000 access lines need to file rural
certifications for their year 2001 status
and thereafter only if their status has
changed.
The Commission is seeking extension
(no change to this information
collection) in order to obtain the full
three-year clearance from OMB.
OMB Control No.: 3060–1021.
Title: Section 25.139, NGSO FSS.

Type of Review: Extension of a

Total Annual Burden: 10 hours.

Needs and Uses: This rule section
requires NGSO FSS licensees to
maintain a subscriber database in a
format than can be readily shared with
Multichannel Video Distribution and
Data Service (MVDDS) licensees for the
purpose of determining compliance
with the MVDDS transmitting antenna
space requirement relating to qualifying
existing NGSO FSS subscriber receivers
set forth in 47 CFR 101.129.
