FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

 

Public Information Collection Requirement Submitted to Office of 
Management and Budget for Review

February 14, 1994.
    The Federal Communications Commission has submitted the following 
information collection requirement to OMB for review and clearance 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3507).
    Copies of this submission may be purchased from the Commission's 
copy contractor, International Transcription Service, Inc., 2100 M 
Street, NW., suite 140, Washington, DC 20037, (202) 857-3800. For 
further information on this submission contact Judy Boley, Federal 
Communications Commission, (202) 632-0276. Persons wishing to comment 
on this information collection should contact Timothy Fain, Office of 
Management and Budget, room 3235 NEOB, Washington, DC 20503, (202) 395-
3561.
    Please note: The Commission has requested emergency OMB review of 
this item by February 15, 1994, under the provisions of 5 CFR 1320.18.

OMB Number: None.
Title: Transport Rate Structure and Pricing, CC Docket No. 91-213, 
Second Report and Order.
Action: New collection.
Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit.
Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and one-time 
collection.
Estimated Annual Burden: 55 responses; 2 hours average burden per 
response; 110 hours total annual burden.
Needs and Uses: In the Second Report and Order, CC Docket No. 91-213 
(released 1/31/94), the Commission modified certain features of the 
price cap regulatory system applicable to local exchange carriers 
(LECs) to accommodate the recent restructure of the LECs local 
transport rates. Transport services, including all the transmission-
related elements, the tandem switching charge, and the interconnection 
charge, were moved out of the price cap basket for traffic sensitive 
services and placed into a combined ``trunking'' basket containing 
transport and special access services. The Commission realigned the 
service categories and subcategories within the trunking basket to 
reflect the similarities between certain special access and flat-
related transport services, and to accommodate the new density zone 
pricing system that were adopted for both special access and transport. 
The pricing bands applicable to the service categories and 
subcategories were also adapted. All LECs subject to the price cap 
rules are required to file a supplemental tariff review plan to 
recalculate their price cap indexes pursuant to the decision in the 
Order. The recalculated indexes should be used as the basis of any 
price cap filing that changes rates of services in the trunking or 
traffic sensitive baskets subsequent to the effective date of the 
initial restructured transport tariffs. Subsequent tariff filings must 
be made pursuant to the modified rules. The information will be used to 
aid in the review of the LECs' transport service restructure by the 
Commission and interested parties.

Federal Communications Commission.

Acting Secretary.
