Frequency of Response: Monthly and
quarterly reporting requirements; third
party disclosure.
Total Annual Burden: 3,000 hours.
Total Annual Cost: None.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact.
Nature of Extent of Confidentiality:
The respondents may request
confidentiality protection for the special
access performance information. The
respondents are not required to file their
customers’ monthly usage information
with the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC).
Needs and Uses: The service quality
measurement plan for interstate special
access would require the respondents to
report special access performance
metrics on a quarterly basis. Because,
pursuant to Section 272(f)(1) Sunset of
the BOC Separate Affiliate and Related
Requirements; 2000 Biennial Regulatory
Review Separate Affiliate Requirements
of Section 64.1903 of the Commission’s
Rules; Petition of AT&T Inc. for

120, CC Docket No. 00–175, Report and
Order and Memorandum Opinion and
Order, 22 FCC Rcd 16440 (2007)
(Section 272 Sunset Order), the
respondents are no longer required to
comply with the section 272 structural
safeguards, the special access
performance metrics reporting
requirements will help ensure that these
carriers do not engage in non-price
discrimination in the provision of
special access services to unaffiliated
entities and will provide the FCC and
other interested parties with reasonable
tools to monitor these carriers’
performance in providing these special
access services to themselves and their
competitors. The monthly usage
reporting requirement would require the
respondents to provide each of their
residential customers who subscribe to
a call plan that establishes a single rate
for unlimited wireline local exchange
and long distance telecommunications
service with the total number of long
distance telecommunications service
minutes used by that customer each
month. This monthly usage reporting
requirement will help ensure that, as a
result of the relief granted in the Section
272 Sunset Order residential interstate
long distance consumers receive
adequate information regarding their
monthly usage in order to make
informed choices among alternative
long distance calling plans.

Total Annual Burden: 30,348 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $700,600.

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission is not requesting that
the respondents submit confidential
information to the FCC. Respondents
may, however, request confidential
treatment for information they believe to
be confidential under 47 CFR 0.459 of
the Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: Pursuant to the
recently-released Section 272 Sunset
Order, FCC 07–159, respondents are no
longer required to comply with 47
U.S.C. 272 structural safeguards. As
such, the respondents must now file
certifications with the Commission prior
to providing contract tariff services to
itself or to any affiliate that is neither a
section 272 nor a rule 64.1903 separate
affiliate for use in the provision of any
in-region, long distance services that it
provides service pursuant to that
contract tariff to an unaffiliated
customer. 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.
Please note that the Commission is
republishing this notice in the Federal
Register due to our determination that
the initial publication contained several
errors and that the methodology use to
estimate the burdens should be revised.
The initial publication was on July 24,
2008 (73 FR 43228). Also, the revisions
to information collection 3060–0760
stem from the 272 Sunset Order that
prompted the new information
collection 30-day notice being
published simultaneously.
