and Budget

    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has received Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approval for the following public

Federal Communications Commission

OMB Control No.: 3060-0149.
    Expiration Date: 06/30/98.
    Title: Application and Supplemental Information Requirements--Part 
63, Section 214, Sections 63.01-63.601.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 6,820 total annual hours; 13.37 hours per 
response.
    Description: Section 214 of the Communications Act of 1934, as 
amended, 47 U.S.C. Section 214, requires that the FCC review the 
establishment, lease, operations and extension of channels of 
communications by interstate common carriers. These carriers earn a 
rate of return based on their plant and facilities investment. The more 
they invest in plant and facilities the greater their revenue 
requirement. Thus, one of the major reasons Section 214 was enacted was 
to ensure against unnecessary duplication of plant and facilities. The 
other reason for Section 214 was to regulate which entities should be 
allowed to provide common carrier services and which services should be 
allowed to be terminated. Part 63 implements Section 214 of the 
Communications Act of 1934, as amended. Part 63 also implements the 
provision of the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984 pertaining to 
video programming by telephone carriers. In CC Docket No. 87-266, the 
Commission modified its rules to enable local telephone companies to 
participate in the video marketplace through video dialtone. The 
information is used by the Commission to determine whether the 
respondent is in compliance with Section 214.
