Abstract
As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or the Commission) invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the following information collection. Comments are requested concerning: 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; the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; 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; and ways to further reduce the information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees. The FCC 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 PRA that does not display a valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number.

responses.

Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. Statutory authority for this
collection of information is contained in sections 1, 4(i), and

151,154(i), and 204(a)(3).

Needs and Uses: This collection will be submitted as an extension

In CC Docket No. 96-187, the Commission adopted measures to
streamline tariff filing requirements for local exchange carriers
(LECs) pursuant to the Telecommunications Act of 1996. In order to
achieve a streamlined and deregulatory environment for LEC tariff
filings, LECs are required to file tariffs electronically. The
information collected under the electronic filing program will
facilitate access to tariffs and associated documents by the public, as
well as by state and federal regulators. Ready electronic access to
carrier tariffs will also facilitate the compilation of aggregate data
for industry analysis purposes without imposing new reporting
requirements on carriers.
