    OMB Control No.: 3060-0855.
    OMB Approval Date: 7/27/2006.
    Expiration Date: 1/31/2007.
    Title: Telecommunications Reporting Worksheet, WC Docket No. 06-

    Estimated Annual Burden: 17,465 responses; 263,230 total annual

    Needs and Uses: This collection was submitted as a revision to an 
existing collection to obtain emergency clearance for FCC Forms 499-A 
and 499-Q (3060-0855). Universal Service obligations have been extended 
to interconnected Voice over Internet Protocol (interconnected VoIP) 
providers. The Commission requires telecommunications carriers and 
certain other providers of interstate telecommunications to contribute 
to the universal service fund. The Commission has found that 
interconnected VoIP providers are providers of interstate 
telecommunications. As such, the Commission has determined that 
interconnected VoIP providers must contribute to the universal service 
fund. By including interconnected VoIP providers in the contribution 
base, the Commission ensures that its contribution mechanism remains 
equitable, nondiscriminatory, and competitively neutral. The Commission 
determined that interconnected VoIP providers may contribute based on 
an interim safe harbor amount, under which interconnected VoIP 
providers treat 64.9 percent of their telecommunications revenues as 
interstate; their actual interstate end-user telecommunications 
revenues; or an estimate of their interstate end-user 
telecommunications revenues as determined by a traffic study, which 
must first be submitted to, then affirmatively approved by, the 
Commission. In addition, the Commission revised the interim wireless 
safe harbor that wireless providers may use to report their interstate 
revenues to 37.1 percent. The Commission also determined that, to the 
extent wireless providers report interstate telecommunications revenue 
based on traffic studies, in lieu of reporting revenues based on actual 
interstate end-user telecommunications revenues or based on the interim 
wireless safe harbor of 37.1 percent, such traffic studies must be 
filed with the Commission and the Universal Service Administrative 
Company.

    Estimated Annual Burden: 80 Responses; 6,280 total annual burden 
hours; 63-125 hours per respondent.

collection. The collection establishes various procedural guidelines 
related to the Commission's processing of petitions for preemption 
pursuant to Section 253 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. 
The Commission uses the information to discharge its statutory mandate 
relating to the preemption of state or local statutes or other state or
