SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control No.: 3060-0725.
[[Page 54989]]
OMB Approval date: 08/25/2006.
Expiration Date: 08/31/2009.
Title: Quarterly Filing of Nondiscrimination Reports (on Quality of
Service, Installation and Maintenance) by Bell Operating Companies.
Form No.: N/A.
Estimated Annual Burden: 16 responses; 800 total annual burden
hours.
Needs and Uses: Bell Operating Companies (BOCs) are required to
provide nondiscrimination reports on an annual basis. Without provision
of these reports, the Commission would be unable to ascertain whether
the BOCs were discriminating in favor of their own payphones.
OMB Control No.: 3060-0817.
OMB Approval date: 09/07/2006.
Expiration Date: 09/30/2009.
Title: Computer III Further Remand Proceedings: BOC Provision of
Enhanced Services (ONA Requirements), CC Docket No. 95-20.
Form No.: N/A.
Estimated Annual Burden: 8 responses; 216 total annual burden
hours.
Needs and Uses: BOCs are required to post their CEI plans and
amendments on their publicly accessible Internet sites. The requirement
extends to CEI plans for new or modified tele-messaging or alarm
monitoring services and for new or amended payphone services. If the
BOC receives a good faith request for a plan from someone who does not
have internet access, the BOC must notify that person where a paper
copy of the plan is available for public inspection. The CEI plans will
be used to ensure that BOCs comply with Commission policies and
regulations safeguarding against potential anticompetive behavior by
the BOCs in the provision of information services.
OMB Control No.: 3060-0824.
OMB Approval date: 09/01/2006.
Expiration Date: 09/30/2009.
Title: Service Provider Identification Number and Contact Form.
Form No.: FCC form 498.
Estimated Annual Burden: 5,000 responses; 7,500 total annual burden
hours.
Needs and Uses: The Administrator of the universal service program
must obtain contact and remittance information from service providers
participating in the universal service high cost, low income, rural
health care, and schools and libraries programs. The Administrator uses
FCC Form 498 to collect service provider name, phone numbers, other
contact information, and remittance information from universal service
fund participants to enable the Administrator to perform its universal
service disbursement functions under 47 CFR part 54. FCC Form 498
allows fund participants to direct remittance to third parties or
receive payments directly from the Administrator.
OMB Control No.: 3060-0876.
OMB Approval date: 09/01/2006.
Expiration Date: 09/30/2009.
Title: USAC Board of Directors Nomination Process (47 CFR Section
54.703) and Review of Administrator's Decision (47 CFR Sections 54.719-
54.725).
Form No.: N/A.
Estimated Annual Burden: 1,312 responses; 41,840 total annual
burden hours.
Needs and Uses: Pursuant to 47 CFR 54.703 industry and non-industry
groups may submit to the Commission for approval nominations for
individuals to be appointed to the USAC Board of Directors. 47 CFR
54.719-54.725 contain the procedures for Commission review of USAC
decisions, including the general filing requirements pursuant to which
parties must file requests for review. The information is used by the
Commission to select USAC's Board of directors and to ensure that
requests for review are filed properly with the Commission.
OMB Control No.: 3060-0810.
OMB Approval date: 09/01/2006.
Expiration Date: 09/30/2009.
Title: Procedures for Designation of Eligible Telecommunications
Carriers Pursuant to Section 214(e)(6) of the Communications Act of
1934, as amended.
Form No.: N/A.
Estimated Annual Burden: 100 responses; 6,200 total annual burden
hours.
Needs and Uses: This submission extended a currently approved
collection. Carriers seeking eligibility designations for service
provided on tribal lands (which include ``near reservations'') may
petition the Commission directly under section 214(e)(6), without first
seeking designation from the relevant state commission and all others
must go to the state first for resolution of the jurisdictional issues
before seeking designation from the Commission. In the Order, the
Commission concluded that petitions for designation filed under section
214(e)(6) relating to ``near reservation'' areas will not be considered
as petitions relating to tribal lands and as a result, petitioners
seeking ETC designation in such areas must follow the procedures
outlined in the Twelfth Report and Order for non-tribal lands prior to
submitting a request for designation to this Commission.
