SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB Control Number: 3060–0986. Title: Competitive Carrier Line Count Report, WC Docket No. 05–337, CC Docket No. 96–45. Form Number: FCC Form 525. Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection. Respondents: Business or other for profit and not-for-profit institutions. Number of Respondents and Responses: 1,923 respondents; 5,458 responses. Estimated Time per Response: .5–6 hours. Frequency of Response: On occasion, quarterly, and annual reporting requirements. Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. Total Annual Burden: 27,328 hours. Annual Cost Burden: $1,093,120.00. Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact. 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: This collection is being submitted as a revision to a currently approved collection. In April 2008, the Commission adopted an order that capped total annual competitive VerDate Nov<24>2008 17:07 Mar 19, 2009 Jkt 217001 eligible telecommunications carrier (ETC) universal service high-cost support for each state at the level of support that competitive ETCs in that state were eligible to receive during March 2008 on an annualized basis. The Commission also adopted two limited exceptions from the application of the interim cap. First, a competitive ETC will not be subject to the interim cap to the extent it files cost data demonstrating that its costs meet the support threshold in the same manner as the incumbent local exchange carrier. The Commission plans to submit an additional revision to OMB at a later date seeking approval to collect competitive ETCs’ cost data. Second, the Commission also created a limited exception for competitive ETCs serving tribal lands or Alaska Native regions (covered location). High-Cost Universal Service Support; Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service, WC Docket No. 05–337, CC Docket No. 96–45, FCC 08–122. Competitive ETCs opting into the exception for Tribal lands or Alaska Native regions would have to file line counts on FCC Form 525 separately for covered and non-covered locations. Most competitive ETCs that serve these locations already have separate study area codes for the covered location, and this requirement will not increase their burden. A small number of competitive ETCs, however, may need to make a one time request for additional study area codes. Thereafter, these carriers will have to file an additional Form 525 for each additional study area code. Additionally, each competitive ETC opting into this exception will be required to file, each time it files line count data, a certification that the lines reflected in a particular filing are within a covered location. The competitive ETCs also will be required to maintain records showing how they determined that the lines were in a covered location. The Commission will not amend FCC Form 525 to incorporate the information requests related to this limited exception to the interim cap on highcost support. The Commission has reviewed the information collection and has revised the estimates that are detailed in the supporting statement. Additionally, the Commission is revising the collection to incorporate the reporting requirements of OMB 3060– 0793 for the self-certification as a rural carrier requirement into this collection under OMB Control Number 3060–0986. The self-certification for rural carriers is rarely filed with the Commission, therefore, its incorporation into OMB 3060–0986 will ease the Commission’s administrative burden for complying PO 00000 Frm 00046 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 with information collection requirements. Upon OMB approval of this revision, the Commission will voluntarily discontinue OMB Control Number 3060–0793 and retain this one for OMB’s inventory. Marlene H.
