Please ensure that your comments are submitted within the specified comment period. Comments received after the close of the comment period will be marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA is not required to consider these late comments. If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you include your name, mailing address, and an e-mail address or other contact information in the body of your comment and with any disk or CD ROM you submit. This ensures that you can be identified as the submitter of the comment and allows EPA to contact you in case EPA cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties or needs further information on the substance of your comment. Any identifying or contact information provided in the body of a comment will be included as part of the comment that is placed in the official public docket, and made available in EPA’s electronic public docket. If EPA cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment. Use of the https://www.regulations.gov Web site to submit comments to EPA electronically is EPA’s preferred method for receiving comments. The electronic public docket system is an ‘‘anonymous access’’ system, which means EPA will not know your identity, e-mail address, or other contact information unless you provide it in the body of your comment. In contrast to EPA’s electronic public docket, EPA’s electronic mail (e-mail) system is not an ‘‘anonymous access’’ system. If you send an e-mail comment directly to the Docket without going through https://www.regulations.gov, your e-mail address is automatically captured and included as part of the comment that is placed in the official VerDate Aug<31>2005 14:50 Oct 18, 2006 Jkt 211001 public docket, and made available in EPA’s electronic public docket. It is important to note that EPA’s policy is that public comments, whether submitted electronically or in paper, will be made available for public viewing online at https:// www.regulations.gov without change, unless the comment contains copyrighted material, CBI, or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Information claimed as CBI and other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute is not included in the official public docket or in the electronic public docket. EPA’s policy is that copyrighted material, including copyrighted material contained in a public comment, will not be placed in EPA’s electronic public docket but will be available only in printed, paper form in the official public docket. Although not all docket materials may be available electronically, you may still access any of the publicly available docket materials through the EPA Docket Center. Dated: October 12, 2006.

IntraLATA carriers are required to provide to interexchange carriers (IXCs) a quarterly report listing payphone by Automatic Number Identification (ANIs). Without provision of this report, resolution of disputed ANIs would be rendered very difficult. IXCs would not be able to discern which ANIs pertain to payphones and therefore would not be able to ascertain which dial-around calls were originated by payphones for compensation purposes. There would be no way to guard against possible fraud. Without this reporting requirement, lengthy investigations would be necessary to verify claims. The quarterly E:\FR\FM\19OCN1.SGM 19OCN1

obstacles faced by law enforcement personnel in conducting electronic 
surveillance. Section 105 of CALEA requires telecommunications carriers 
to protect against the unlawful interception of communications passing 
through their systems. Law enforcement officials use the information 
maintained by telecommunications carriers to determine the

    On May 12, 2006, the Commission released a Second Report and Order

which became effective August 4, 2006, except for Sec. Sec.  1.20004

Second Report and Order established new guidelines for filing section

Form 445). CALEA section 107(c)(1) permits a petitioner to apply for an 
extension of time, up to two years from the date that the petition is

Order, facilities based broadband Internet access and interconnected 
Voice over Interconnected Protocol (VOIP) providers newly identified in 
the First Report and Order in this proceeding will be required to file

systems are currently approved under the existing OMB 3060-0809 
information collection).
    (b) Petitions filed under Section 107(c), request for additional 
time to comply with CALEA; these provisions apply to all carriers 
subject to CALEA and are voluntary filings.
    (c) Section 109(b), request for reimbursement of CALEA, would be 
modified; these provisions apply to all carriers subject to CALEA and 
are voluntary filings.
