and 69.416 of the Commission’s rules.
Under 5 CFR part 1320, an agency may
not conduct or sponsor a collection of

penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act that does not
display a current, valid OMB Control
Number. The OMB Control Numbers are
3060–0298 and 3060–0400.
The foregoing notice is required by
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,

is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151–155, 201–
203, 208, 251–271, 403, 502, and 503 of

information which respondents believe
is confidential, respondents may request
confidential treatment of such
information under 47 CFR 0.459 of the
Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: On March 23, 2016
the Commission released the Rate of
Return Order, FCC 16–33, which
reformed universal service for rate-ofreturn local exchange carriers (LECs).
These reforms require approximately 95
rate-of-return LECs to make one-time
tariff filings and NECA to make two
tariff filings with the necessary support
materials outside the normal tariff filing
period.
Part 61 of the Commission’s rules, 47
CFR part 61, prescribes the framework
for the initial establishment of and
subsequent revisions to tariffs. The

documentation is used by the
Commission and state commissions to

is confidential, respondents may request
confidential treatment of such
information under 47 CFR 0.459 of the
Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: On March 23, 2016
the Commission released the Rate of
Return Order, FCC 16–33, which
reformed universal service for rate-ofreturn local exchange carriers (LECs).
These reforms require rate-of-return
LECs to make tariff filings with the
necessary support materials outside the
normal tariff filing period.
Sections 201, 202, and 203 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, require common carriers to
establish just and reasonable charges,
practices, and regulations for their
interstate telecommunications services.
For services that are still covered under
section 203, tariff schedules containing
charges, rates, rules, and regulations
must be filed with the Commission. Part
61 of the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR
part 61, prescribes the framework for the
establishment of and subsequent
revisions to tariffs. Certain LECs are
required to submit a biennial or annual
Tariff Review Plan (TRP) in partial
fulfillment of cost support material
required by part 61. The Commission
developed the TRP to minimize
reporting burdens on reporting
incumbent local exchange carriers
(ILECs). TRPs set forth the summary
material ILECs file to support revisions
to their interstate access service tariffs.
For those services still requiring cost
