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.

Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in
sections 1, 4(i), 10, 201-205, 215, 218-220, 226, and 254(g) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 151-154, 160, 201-
205, 215, 218-220, 226, and 254(g).

Needs and Uses: In the 1996 Second Report and Order, CC Docket 96-
61, the Commission adopted mandatory detariffing for the interstate,
domestic interexchange services of nondominant interexchange carriers
(IXCs). This information collection is necessary to provide consumers
ready access to information concerning the rates, terms, and conditions
governing the provision of these services in a detariffed and
increasingly competitive environment. The information collected under
the information disclosure requirement and the internet posting
requirement ensure that consumers have access to the information they
need to select a telecommunications carrier, and the information
collected under the recordkeeping and certification requirements will
be used by the Commission to ensure that affected IXCs fulfill their
obligations under the Communications Act, as amended.
