Title: Section 32.7300, Accounting for
Judgments and Other Costs Associated
With Litigation.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 2 respondents; 2 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 4–36
hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement and
recordkeeping requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this collection of
information is contained in 47 U.S.C.
151, 152, 154, 161, 201–205 and 218–
220; 47 CFR 1, 2, 4, 11, 201–205, and
218–220 of the Communications Act of
1934, as amended.
Total Annual Burden: 40 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Needs and Uses: The Commission is
seeking Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) approval for an extension
of this information collection (no
change in the reporting and/or
recordkeeping requirements). The
Commission will submit this
information collection after this 60-day
comment period to the OMB.
The Commission adopted accounting
rules that require carriers to account for
adverse federal antitrust judgments and
post-judgment special charges. With
regard to settlements of such lawsuits,
there will be a presumption that carriers
can recover the portion of the settlement
that represents the avoidable costs of
litigation; provided that the carrier
makes a required showing. To receive
recognition of its avoided cost of
litigation a carrier must demonstrate, in
a request for special relief, the avoided
costs of litigation by showing the
amount corresponding to the additional
litigation expenses discounted to
present value, that the carrier
reasonably estimates it would have paid
if it had not settled. Settlement costs in
excess of the avoided costs of litigation
are presumed not recoverable unless a
carrier rebuts that presumption by
showing the basic factors that enticed
the carrier to settle and demonstrating
that ratepayers benefited from the
settlement.
