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.

SUMMARY: 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.
DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before June 6,
2025. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find
it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice,
you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.
ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Nicole Ongele, FCC, via email
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#33636172735550501d545c45"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="baeae8fbfadcd9d994ddd5cc">[email protected]</span></a> and to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#fc92959f939099d293929b999099bc9a9f9fd29b938a"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="f7999e94989b92d9989990929b92b7919494d9909881">[email protected]</span></a>.

Number of Respondents and Responses: 1 respondent; 1 response.
Estimated Time per Response: 60 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The
statutory authority for this collection is contained in sections 1,
4(i), 4(j), 201-205, 303(r), and 403 of the Communications Act of 1934,
as amended, 47 U.S.C. 151, 154(i), 154(j), 201-205, 303(r), 403, 47 CFR

Needs and Uses: The Commission requires Tier 1 local exchange
carriers (LECs) to provide expanded opportunities for third party
interconnection with their interstate special access facilities. The
LECs are permitted to establish a number of rate zones within study
areas in which expanded interconnection are operational. In a previous
rulemaking, Fifth Report and Order, CC Docket No. 96-262, the
Commission allowed price cap LECs to define the scope and number of
zones within a study area. These LECs must file and obtain approval of
their pricing plans which will be used by FCC staff to ensure that the
rates are just, reasonable and nondiscriminatory.
