continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden invites the general public
and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the
following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, Public Law 104-13. An agency 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 Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that does not display a valid
control number. 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; and (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.
DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction (PRA) comments should be submitted
on or before May 27, 2004. If you anticipate that you will be
submitting comments, but find it difficult to do so within the period

Title: Implementation of the Local Competition Provisions of the
Telecommunications Act of 1996, CC Docket No. 96-98, Second Report and
Order and Memorandum Opinion and Order; Second Order on
Reconsideration; CC Docket No. 99-273, First Report and Order.
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 2,000.
Estimated Time per Response: 115 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and third
party disclosure requirement.
Total Annual Burden: 228,030 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $60,000.
Needs and Uses: In the First Report and Order issued in CC Docket
No. 99-273, the Commission adopts several of its tentative conclusions.
The Commission concludes that local exchange carriers (LECs) must
provide competing directory assistance (DA) providers that qualify
under Section 251 with nondiscriminatory access to the LEC's local
directory assistance databases, and must do so at nondiscriminatory and
reasonable rates. The Commission determined that LECs are not required
to grant competing DA providers nondiscriminatory access to non-local
directory assistance databases.
Federal Communications Commission.
