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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060–0975.
Title: Sections 68.3 and 1.4000,
Promotion of Competitive Networks in
Local Telecommunications Markets
Multiple Tenant Environments (MTEs).
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit, not-for profit institutions, Federal
Government, and state, local or tribal
government.
Number of Respondents: 5,983
respondents; 5,983 responses.
Estimated Time Per Response: .50–10
hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement and third party
disclosure requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits.
Total Annual Burden: 215,882 hours.
Total Annual Cost: N/A.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will submit this information collection
to the OMB as an extension (no change
in the reporting requirement or third
party disclosure requirement) during
this comment period to obtain the full
three-year clearance from them. There is
a change in the number of respondents/
responses and the burden hours.
In October 2000, the Federal
Communications Commission adopted
and released several rulemakings to
foster competition in local
communications markets by
implementing measures to ensure that
competing telecommunications
providers are able to provide services to
customers in multiple tenet
environments (MTEs).
Specifically, the rulemakings require
the following: (1) Prohibited carriers
from entering into contracts that restrict
or effectively restrict a property owner’s
ability to permit entry by competing
carriers; (2) established procedures to
facilitate moving the demarcation point
to the minimum point of entry (MPOE)
at the building owner’s request, and
requires incumbent local exchange
carriers (LECs) to timely disclose the
location of existing demarcation points
where they are not located at the MPOE;
(3) determined that, under section 224
of the Communications Act, utilities,
including LECs, must afford
telecommunications carriers and cable
service providers reasonable and
nondiscriminatory access to conduits
and rights-of-way located in customer
PO 00000
Frm 00022
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
buildings and campuses, to the extent
that such conduits and rights-of-way are
owned or controlled by the utility; and
(4) extended to antennas that receive
and transmit telecommunications and
other fixed wireless signals the existing
prohibition of restrictions that impair
the installation, maintenance or use of
certain video antennas on property
within the exclusive use or control of
the antenna user, where the user has a
direct or indirect ownership or
leasehold interest in the property.
This information will facilitate
efficient interaction between premises
owners and LECs regarding the
placement of the demarcation point,
which marks the end of wiring under
control of the LEC and the beginning of
wiring under control of the premises
owner or subscriber.
The demarcation point is a critical
point of interconnection where
competitive LECs can gain access to the
inside wiring of the building to provide
service to customers in the building.
This collection will also help ensure
that customer-end antennas used for
telecommunications service comply
with the Commission’s limits on radio
frequency exposure, and it will provide
the Commission with information on
the state of the market. In short, this
information will be used to foster
competition in local
telecommunications markets by
ensuring that competing
telecommunications providers are able
to provide services to customers in
multiple tenant environments (MTEs).
