FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
Information Collection Approved by the Office of Management and
Budget
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission has received Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) approval for the following public
information collection(s) pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520). An agency may not conduct or sponsor a
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number, and no person is required to respond to a collection of
information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
Comments concerning the accuracy of the burden estimate(s) and any
suggestions for reducing the burden should be directed to the person
listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section below.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ginny Kennedy, Wireline Competition
Bureau, Telecommunications Access Policy Division at 202-418-7400 or e-
mail at [email protected]
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060-0774.
OMB Approval Date: June 23, 2011.
Expiration Date: June 30, 2014.
Title: Parts 36 and 54, Federal-State Joint Board on Universal
Service.
Form Number: N/A.
Estimated Annual Burden: 7,577,634 responses; .084 hours-125 hours
(average); 1,152,255 hours total per year.
Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47
U.S.C. 151-154, 201-205, 218-220, 214, 254, 303(r), 403 and 410.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for
confidentiality. However, respondents may request materials or
information submitted to the Commission be withheld from public
inspection under 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission's rules.
Needs and Uses: The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved
the revision to the subject collection. In this revision, the
Commission made mathematical corrections, rule part consolidations, and
eliminated one item to avoid duplicity (information was being reported
on the same rule provision under a different OMB control number).
Redundant or unnecessary information was removed. OMB approved a
127.200 hour burden reduction adjustment. In the Telecommunications Act
of 1996 (1996 Act), Congress directed the Commission to implement a new
set of universal service support mechanisms that are explicit and
sufficient to advance the universal service principles enumerated in 47
U.S.C. 254.
Federal Communications Commission.

Deputy Manager, Office of the Secretary, Office of Managing Director.
