SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission may not conduct or sponsor a
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) control number. No person shall be
subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of
information subject to the PRA that does not display a valid OMB
control number.
As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, as
required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520), the FCC invited the general public and other Federal Agencies to
take this opportunity to comment on the following information
collection. 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 estimates; (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. Pursuant to the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of
2002, Public Law 107-198, see 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(4), the FCC seeks
specific comment on how it might ``further reduce the information
collection burden for small business concerns with fewer than 25
employees.''

Title: Data Network Identification Code (DNIC).
Form No.: N/A.

Number of Respondents: 1 respondent; 3 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.5-4 hours.

Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 151, 154(i)-(j), 201-

Total Annual Burden: 4 hours.
Annual Cost Burden: $1,850.
Needs and Uses: The Federal Communications Commission
(``Commission'') is requesting that the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) to approve a revision to OMB Control No. 3060-1029--Data Network
Identification Code (DNIC). The Commission is developing revised and
new electronic forms for this collection as part of the Commission's
modernization of its online, web-based electronic filing system--the
International Bureau filing system (IBFS). This information collection
seeks approval for the new and revised forms to request an
International Signaling Point Code (ISPC), and reflects changes in the
costs and burdens associated with these applications.
A Data Network Identification Code (DNIC) is a unique, four-digit
number designed to provide discrete identification of individual public
data networks. The DNIC is intended to identify and permit automated
switching of data traffic to particular networks. The DNIC is the
central device of the international data numbering plan developed by
the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) and set forth in
Recommendation X.121. Prior to the availability of electronic web-based
application forms in 1999, the Commission used an informal process for
assigning DNICs. In the informal system, a company desiring a code
would notify the Commission that it wishes one assigned and demonstrate
that it has the ability to originate and terminate international
traffic (e.g., by showing an interconnection arrangement with a U.S.
international carrier) and the Commission would assign a DNIC. In 1986,
the Commission established procedures for the assignment of DNICs to
interested data network operators. Today, the operators of public data
networks file an application for a DNIC in IBFS. The DNIC is obtained
on a one-time only basis unless there is a change in ownership or the
owner chooses to relinquish the code to the Commission.
IBFS Modernization of DNIC Electronic Forms. The Commission seeks
OMB approval of revisions to its DNIC application form and the addition
of new forms that will be electronically filed through IBFS. The new
online forms will ensure the Commission collects the information
required by the Commission's rules. The use of such online forms will
reduce costs and administrative burdens on applicants, resulting in
greater efficiencies, and improve transparency to the public. Once the
Commission receives approval for the new forms from OMB, as required by
section 1.10006 of the Commission's rules, we will announce the
availability of mandated e-forms and their effective dates.
Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary, Office of the Secretary.
