Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 134 / Wednesday, July 13, 2011 / Notices
154(i), 154(j), 201–204, 214, 220(a), 251,
252, 271, 272, and 303(r).
Total Annual Burden: 300 hours.
Total Annual Cost: N/A.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission anticipates that the
Bell Operating Companies (BOCs)
which are AT&T, Quest and Verizon,
may request confidentiality protection
for the special access performance
information.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will submit this information collection
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) in order to obtain the full three
year clearance from them. The
Commission is requesting OMB
approval for a revision of this
information collection.
The Commission previously adopted
two new information collection
requirements that received OMB
approval. The monthly usage
information requirement has expired,
pursuant to the terms of the Section 272
Sunset Order. The burden for the
monthly reporting requirement has been
eliminated and we now seek continued
OMB approval for the special access
performance metric information
requirement (quarterly reporting
requirement) will be extended
(continued).
The Commission has established a
new framework to govern the provision
of in-region, long-distance services that
allows the BOCs to provide in-region,
interstate, long distance services either
directly or through affiliates that are
neither section 272 separate affiliates
nor rule 64.1903 affiliates, see Section
272 Sunset Order, FCC 07–159. Because
the BOCs are no longer required to
comply with the section 272 structural
safeguards, the Commission established
special access performance metrics
reporting requirements, i.e., ordering,
provisioning, and repair and
maintenance to ensure that the BOCs
and their independent incumbent LEC
affiliates do not engage in non-price
discrimination in the provision of
special access services to unaffiliated
entities.
The information gleaned from these
performance metrics will provide the
Commission and other interested parties
with reasonable tools to monitor each
BOC’s performance in providing these
special access services to itself and its
competitors.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS
COMMISSION
Information Collection Being Reviewed
by the Federal Communications
Commission
Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC), as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
burdens, invites the general public and
other Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on the
following information collection, as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) of 1995. Comments are
requested concerning (a) Whether the
proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Commission,
including whether the information shall
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of
the Commission’s burden estimate; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information collected; (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on the
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology;
and (e) ways to further reduce the
information collection burden on small
business concerns with fewer than 25
employees.
The FCC may not conduct or sponsor
a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid control
number. No person shall be subject to
any penalty for failing to comply with
a collection of information subject to the
PRA that does not display a valid Office
of Management and Budget (OMB)
control number.
DATES: Written PRA comments should
be submitted on or before September 12,
2011. If you anticipate that you will be
submitting comments, but find it
difficult to do so within the period of
time allowed by this notice, you should
advise the contact listed below as soon
as possible.
ADDRESSES: Submit your PRA comments
to Nicholas A. Fraser, Office of
Management and Budget, via fax at 202–
395–5167 or via Internet at
Nicholas_A._Fraser@omb.eop.gov and
to Paul Laurenzano, FCC, via e-mail

Title: Sections 61.49 and 69.4, Price
Cap Performance Review for Local
Exchange Carriers, FCC 99–206 (New
Services).
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 21 respondents; 21
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 10
hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement.
Obligation To Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits.
Total Annual Burden: 210 hours.
Annual Cost Burden: $17,115.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality. The
Commission is not requesting that the
respondents submit confidential
information to the FCC. However,
respondents who wish to request
confidential treatment of the
information they believe to be
confidential, may do so under 47 CFR
0.459 of the Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: This collection will
be submitted as an extension (no change
in reporting requirements) after this 60
day comment period to Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) in order
to obtain the full three year clearance.
In the Fifth Report and Order in FCC
99–206, the Commission permitted
price cap local exchange carriers (LECs)
to introduce new services on a
streamlined basis, without prior
approval. The Commission adopted
rules to eliminate the public interest
showing required by section 69.4(g) and
eliminated the new services test (except
in the case of loop-based new services)
required under sections 69.49(f) and (g).
These modifications eliminated delays
that existed for the introduction of new
services as well as encouraging efficient
investment and innovation. The
information is used by the Commission
to determine whether this is in the
public interest for the incumbent LEC to
offer a proposed new switched access
service.
