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,

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

Statutory authority for this information collection is 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, and 5
U.S.C. 553.
Total Annual Burden: 30 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $1,040.
Needs and Uses: In the 1999 Fifth Report and Order (Pricing
Flexibility Order), 64 FR 51280, the Commission modified the rules that
govern the provision of interstate access services by those price cap
incumbent local exchange carriers (price cap LECs) subject to price
regulation to advance the pro-competitive, de-regulatory national
policies embodied in the Telecommunications Act of 1996. The
Commission, among other things, granted immediate pricing flexibility
to price cap LECs in the form of streamlined introduction of new
switched access services without prior approval or cost support
information. The Commission modified its rules to eliminate the public
interest showing previously required by section 69.4(g) of the
Commission's rules and to enable price cap LECs to establish any new
switched access rate element, in addition to the access rate elements
currently required by section 69.49. The Commission also eliminated the
new services test in sections 61.49(f) and (g) for all new switched
access services except for loop-based switched access services.
