    Action: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit (including small 
businesses).
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
    Estimated Annual burden: 2,400 responses; 24 hours average burden 
per response; 57,600 hours total annual burden.
    Needs and Uses: Telephone and data equipment located on customer 
premises must be registered with the Commission. Part 68 of FCC's rules 
and regulations establishes nationwide technical standards for 
telephone and data equipment designed for connection to the network. 
Part 68 also sets forth the terms and conditions for connection and for 
the registration of customer provided terminal equipment. See part 68, 
subparts A through F. The purpose of part 68 is to protect the network 
from certain types of harm and interference to other subscribers. In 
addition to filing the FCC Form 730, applicants are required to submit 
exhibits and other informational showings as specified in part 68. For 
example, part 68, subpart C, contains the procedures for registering 
equipment and lists many of the exhibits and showings that must be 
filed with the application form. The exhibits and showings are 
described in section 68.200(a) through (k). These requirements are also 
specified in the application form and the application guide. 
Information submitted is used by FCC staff and FCC laboratory for 
evaluation of equipment to determine whether such equipment meets the 
criteria set forth in part 68 of our Rules. This is necessary in order 
to prevent improperly designed equipment from causing harm to the 
nation's telephone network. The information submitted is generally 
available for public inspection.

Federal Communications Commission.

Acting Secretary.
