approval for the following public
information collection(s) pursuant to the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501–3520). An agency may not
conduct or sponsor a collection of
information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number,
and no person is required to respond to
a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number. Comments concerning the
accuracy of the burden estimate(s) and
any suggestions for reducing the burden
should be directed to the person listed
in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section below.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Ginny Kennedy, Wireline Competition
Bureau, Telecommunications Access
Policy Division at 202–418–7400 or email at Ginny.Kennedy@fcc.gov
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Expiration Date: June 30, 2014.
Title: Parts 36 and 54, Federal-State
Joint Board on Universal Service.
Form Number: N/A.
Estimated Annual Burden: 7,577,634
responses; .084 hours–125 hours
(average); 1,152,255 hours total per year.

There is no need for confidentiality.
However, respondents may request
materials or information submitted to
the Commission be withheld from
public inspection under 47 CFR 0.459 of
the Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approved the revision to the subject
collection. In this revision, the
Commission made mathematical
corrections, rule part consolidations,
and eliminated one item to avoid
duplicity (information was being
reported on the same rule provision
under a different OMB control number).
Redundant or unnecessary information
was removed. OMB approved a 127.200
hour burden reduction adjustment. In
the Telecommunications Act of 1996
(1996 Act), Congress directed the
Commission to implement a new set of
universal service support mechanisms
that are explicit and sufficient to
advance the universal service principles
enumerated in 47 U.S.C. 254.
