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 (PRA) 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: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before February 10, 2006. If you anticipate that you

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control No.: 3060-0760.
    Title: Access Charge Reform, CC Docket No. 96-262 (First Report and 
Order); Second Order on Reconsideration and Memorandum Opinion and 
Order, and Fifth Report and Order.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 17.
    Estimated Time per Response: 3-1,575 hours.

    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission is submitting this revised 
information collection to OMB in order to obtain the full three year 
clearance.
    This collection has been revised because we have eliminated the 
cost study and third party disclosure requirements. The information 
collection requirements that remain in this submission to OMB are: (a) 
Showings under the market-based approach; (b) contract-based tariff 
filings; (c) proposed deaveraging of common line and traffic sensitive 
access elements; and (d) proposed common line and traffic sensitive 
Phase II showings. The information to be collected by the Commission by 
incumbent LECs for use in determining whether the incumbent LECs should 
receive regulatory relief proposed in the Orders referenced in the 
title above. The information collected under the Second Order on 
Reconsideration and Memorandum Opinion and Order would be submitted by 
LECs to the interexchange carriers (IXCs) for use in developing the 
most cost-efficient rates and rate structures.
    OMB Control No.: 3060-0207.
    Title: Part 11--Emergency Alert System (EAS).
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit, not-for-profit 
institutions, and state, local or tribal government.
    Number of Respondents: 63,000 respondents; 3,402,762 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: .017 hours-40 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement, 
recordkeeping requirement, and third party disclosure requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 62,472 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: N/A.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission is submitting this information 
collection to OMB for revision. The Commission revised this collection 
by eliminating the one-time voluntary purchase of a computer chip to 
update event and location codes contained in Section 11.31 (165,00 
burden hours and $8,250,000 cost burden) that was approved by OMB on 1/
23/03. The program change decrease in hour burden is slightly offset by 
the inclusion of new additional respondents, i.e., digital television, 
digital radio, digital cable, and satellite television and radio. There 
were no changes in the reporting, recordkeeping or third party 
disclosure requirements.
