SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control No.: 3060–0855.
Title: Telecommunications Reporting
Worksheet, CC Docket No. 96–45.
Form Nos.: FCC Forms 499–A and
499–Q.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit and not-for-profit institutions.
Number of Respondents: 5,625
respondents; 16,787 responses.
Estimated Time Per Response: 15
hours average burden per response.
Frequency of Response: On occasion,
one-time, quarterly and annual
reporting requirements, recordkeeping
requirement, and third party disclosure
requirement.
Total Annual Burden: 253,170 hours.
Total Annual Cost: N/A.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Needs and Uses: This collection will
be submitted as a revision after this 60
day comment period to Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) in order
to obtain the full three year clearance.
The Federal Communications
Commission (Commission) requires
telecommunications carriers and other
providers of telecommunications to
contribute to the Universal Service
Fund (USF) and other funds.
Contribution revenue data, as well as
other information, are reported by
carriers on Forms 499–A and 499–Q.
Accompanying these forms are
instructions on how to report revenue.
The proposed revisions to this
collection will provide clarifications to
the 2007 FCC Forms 499–A, 499–Q, and
instructions in order to improve the
revenue reporting process for
respondents. For instance, the revisions
would provide guidance in the
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:48 Sep 26, 2006
Jkt 208001
instructions to entities regarding which
entity is responsible for filing the FCC
Forms 499–A or 499–Q after two entities
have merged or one entity has
purchased another. As another example
of the type of changes sought in this
proposed collection revision, the forms
and instructions would provide
additional instructions encouraging
respondents to enter e-mail addresses
on the forms. Other proposed changes to
the forms and instructions would help
respondents better determine how to
report subject revenues and generally
seek to provide respondents with an
efficient, less burdensome information
collection. The revisions proposed to
the collection will have a minimal effect
on the burden associated with filing
FCC Forms 499–A and 499–Q for
respondents. These proposed revisions
would go into effect with the April 1,
2007 filing.
In addition, the 2006 FCC Forms and
instructions which already reflect the
changes to the contribution
methodology adopted in the 2006
Interim Contribution Methodology Order
should remain in effect until the revised
forms become effective for the April 1,
2007 filing and should continue to be
available thereafter for filers to use in
amending prior submissions. On July
27, 2006, the Commission received
emergency approval of these
information collection requirements
from the Office of Management and
Budget, which approval expires on
January 31, 2007. The Commission has
made minor editorial edits to the 2006
FCC Forms 499–A, 499–Q, and
instructions. These changes included
correction of typographical errors or
omissions as well as other minor
changes to ensure consistency between
the forms and the instructions. The
Commission asks that the information
collection be approved by OMB.
