The certification requirement will ensure, as a result of the relief granted in FCC 07–159, equivalent protection in the event the BOCs provide in-region, long distance services directly and will be less burdensome and less costly for these providers.

OMB Approval Date: December 31, 2007. Expiration Date: January 31, 2011. Title: Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA). Form No.: Not applicable. Estimated Annual Burden: 350 responses; 17.93 hours per response; 6275 hours total per year.

CALEA was enacted in October 1994 to respond to rapid advances in telecommunications technology and eliminate 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 accountability and accuracy of telecommunications carriers’ compliance with lawful electronic surveillance orders. On May 12, 2006, the Commission released a Second Report and Order and Memorandum Opinion and Order in ET Docket No. 04–195, FCC 06–56, which became effective August 4, 2006, except for sections 1.20004 and 1.20005 of the Commission’s rules, which became effective on February 12, 2007 when OMB approved their information collection requirements. The Second Report and Order established new guidelines for filing section 107(c) petitions, section 109(b) petitions, and monitoring reports (FCC Form 445). The monitoring reports were required on only one occasion and no renewal of that requirement is necessary. 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 filed, and to come into compliance with a particular CALEA section 103 capability requirement. CALEA section 109(b) permits a telecommunication carrier covered by CALEA to file a petition with the FCC and an E:\FR\FM\24JYN1.SGM 24JYN1
