Abstract

As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the following information collections. 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 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.

    The Commission has determined that the authorized resale of 
international private lines inter-connected to the U.S. public switched 
network would tend to divert international message telephone service 
(IMTS) traffic from the settlements process and increase the U.S. net 
settlements deficit. The information will be used by the Commission in 
reviewing the impact, if any, that end-user private line 
interconnections have on the Commission's international settlements

policy. The data will also enhance the ability of both the Commission 
and interested parties to monitor the unauthorized resale of 
international private lines that are interconnected to the U.S. public 
switched network.
