Total Annual Burden: 1,512 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $50,700.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
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: Following the
passage of the Telecommunications Act
of 1996 (‘‘1996 Act’’), the Commission
adopted interstate access charge and
universal service support reforms. These
reforms were designed to establish a
‘‘pro-competitive, deregulatory national
policy framework’’ for the United States
telecommunications industry.
Specifically, the Commission aligned
the interstate access rate structure more
closely with the manner in which costs
are incurred, and created a universal
service support mechanism for rate-ofreturn carriers (Interstate Common Line
Support (ICLS)) to replace implicit
support in interstate access charges with
explicit support that is portable to all
eligible telecommunications carriers. To
administer the ICLS mechanism, the
Universal Service Administrative
Company required, among other things,
that rate-of-return carriers collect
projected cost and revenue data. In
addition, carriers were required to
submit tariff data, including certain cost
studies, to ensure that their rates are just
and reasonable.
Pursuant to the November 18, 2011
USF/ICC Transformation Order (FCC
11–161), the Commission no longer
requires rate-of-return carriers to
conduct line port cost studies or cost
studies to establish rates for certain
optional switched access rate elements.
Only two information collection
requirements were retained:
GSF Allocation: Rate-of-return carriers
that use general purpose computers to
provide non-regulated billing and
collection services are required to
allocate a portion of their general
purpose computer costs to the billing
and collection category, which will
require them to determine general
purpose computer investment. Carriers
may use the general purpose computer
investment amount they develop for a
period of three years. The USF/ICC
Transformation Order does not affect
the requirement that carriers allocate
these costs as part of the rate
development process for common line
and special access services.
Transport and Special Access
Deaveraging: Rate-of-return carriers may
modify their access tariffs to offer
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 232001
transport and special access services at
deaveraged rates. The carriers must have
a tariffed cross-connect element and
define their applicable zones. Rate-ofreturn carriers do not have to file for
approval of their zone plans before
making a tariff filing. The USF/ICC
Transformation Order capped rate-ofreturn carriers’ switched access rates.
Thus, rate-of-return carriers should no
longer incur the costs of studies
otherwise needed to establish
deaveraged switched access transport
rates. These carriers, however, still are
able to deaverage special access rates
because the USF/ICC Transformation
Order does not affect these rates.

Commission invites the general public
and other Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on the
following information collection(s).
Comments are requested concerning:
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;
the accuracy of the Commission’s
burden estimate; ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; 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 ways to
further reduce the information burden
for small business concerns with fewer

Commission has re-analyzed the burden
for this collection and determined that
the reporting requirements regarding the
annual hourly burden are all
attributable to third party disclosure
requirements. There is no change in the

The audit program, consisting of audit
procedures and guidelines, is developed
to conduct random audits. The random
audits are conducted on the carriers that
use numbering resources in order to
verify the accuracy of numbering data
reported on FCC Form 502, and to
monitor compliance with FCC rules,
orders and applicable industry
guidelines. Failure of the audited
carriers to respond to the audits can
result in penalties. Based on the final
audit report, evidence of potential
violations may result in enforcement
action.
