Obligation to Respond: Required to

authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. sections 154(i),

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission is not requesting that
the respondent submit confidential
information to the FCC. Respondents
may, however, request confidential
treatment of such information they
believe to be confidential under 47 CFR
0.459 of the Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will submit this expiring information
collection to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) after this comment
period to obtain the full, three year
clearance from them. The Commission
is requesting OMB approval for an
extension (there is no change in the
reporting, recordkeeping and/or third
party disclosure requirements). There is
no change in the Commission’s burden
estimates.
A Bell Operating Company (BOC) may
choose from among three regulatory
regimes in its provision of in-region,
interstate, interLATA (Local Access and
Transport Area) telecommunications
services. One of these regimes is the
regime set forth in section 272 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended and the Commission’s
implementing rules, 47 CFR 272. Under
this regime, a BOC and its section 272
affiliate may not jointly own
transmission and switching equipment.
The separate section 272 affiliate must
maintain separate books of account and
have separate officers and directors. The
separate section 272 affiliate may not
obtain credit under arrangements that
would permit the creditor to look to the
assets of the BOC. The section 272
affiliate must conduct all transactions
with the BOC on an arm’s length basis,
pursuant to the Commission’s affiliate
transaction rules, with the terms and
conditions of such transactions reduced
to writing and available for public
inspection on the Internet. Section
272(d) states that companies required to
maintain a separate affiliate ‘‘shall
obtain and pay for a Federal/State audit
every two years conducted by an
independent auditor to determine
whether such company has complied
with this section and the regulations
promulgated under this section, and
particularly whether such company has
PO 00000

complied with the separate accounting
requirements under section 272(b).’’
These information collection
requirements are intended to prevent
discrimination, cost misallocation and
other anti-competitive conduct by the
BOCs.
