SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB Control Number: 3060–0855. Title: Telecommunications Reporting Worksheets. 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; 36,068 responses. Estimated Time per Response: 15 minutes—25 hours. Frequency of Response: On occasion, quarterly, and annual reporting requirements, recordkeeping requirement, third party disclosure requirement. Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. Total Annual Burden: 273,129 hours. Total Annual Cost: N/A. Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission will allow respondents to certify that data contained in their submission are privileged or confidential commercial or financial information and that disclosure of such information would likely cause substantial harm to the competitive position of the entity filing the Worksheet. If the Commission receives a request for or proposes to disclose the information, the respondent would be required to make the full showing pursuant to the Commission’s rules for withholding from public inspection information submitted to the Commission. PO 00000 Frm 00052 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Needs and Uses: The 60-day Notice for this collection was published as an extension. Since that publication, however, the U.S. Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia Circuit issued a decision and the Commission issued an order affecting this collection which requires that the collection now be submitted as a revision. Specifically, on June 1, 2007, the U.S. Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia Circuit, in Vonage Holdings Corp. v. FCC, generally affirmed the 2006 Contribution Methodology Order. The Court, however, vacated the preapproval requirement for traffic studies submitted by interconnected VoIP providers and the interim suspension of the carrier’s carrier rule. Later, on June 15, 2007, the Commission released an Order requiring interconnected VoIP providers to contribute to the Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) fund. The revised 2007 FCC 499– A and 499–Q forms and instructions contained in this submission incorporate the changes required by the Vonage Holdings Corp. Decision and TRS Contribution Order. 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 and other providers of telecommunications on FCC Forms 499– A and 499–Q. Accompanying these forms are instructions on how to report revenue. This revision is necessary to incorporate the changes required by the Vonage Holdings Corp. Decision and TRS Contribution Order and will go into effect with the November 1, 2007 quarterly filing of FCC Form 499–Q. Federal Communications Commission. Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary. [FR Doc.
