OMB Approval Number: 3060-0298.
    Title: Part 61 - Tariffs (Other than the Tariff Review Plan).
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Revision of existing collection.
    Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 2,000.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 203 hours.
    Total Annual Burden: 972,423.
    Needs and Uses: Part 61 rules are designed to ensure that all 
tariffs filed by common carriers are formally sound, well organized, 
and provide the Commission and the public with sufficient information 
to determine the justness and reasonableness as required by the Act. 
The Commission is modifying Part 61 to implement a separate basket for 
LEC provided video dialtone service. Video dailtone service differs 
sufficiently from basic telephone service in the other price cap 
baskets to warrant the creation of its own basket. The tariffs and cost 
support information accompanying them will be used by the FCC staff to 
ensure that the tariff rates to be paid for basic video dialtone 
services are just reasonable, and nondiscriminatory, as Section 201 and 
202 of the Communications Act require.

OMB Approval Number: 3060-0540.
    Title: Tariff Filing Requirement for Nondominant Common Carriers.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Revision of existing collection.
    Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 2,000.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 10.5 hours.
    Total Annual Burden: 21,000.
    Needs and Uses: 47 CFR Part 61 Section 61.20-61.23 contain tariff 
filing 

[[Page 52913]]
requirements for nondominant common carriers. The purpose of the filing 
requirement is so that the Commission, customers, and interested 
parties can ensure that the service offerings of communications common 
carriers comply with the requirements of the Communications Act. The 
Commission recently modified the tariff filing rules for domestic, 
nondominant common carriers to remove the provision permitting such 
carriers to file rates in a manner of the carrier's choosing, including 
as a reasonable range of rates. Domestic, nondominant common carriers 
must file tariffs containing specific rates.

OMB Approval Number: 3060-0531.
    Title: Parts 1 and 21 Redesignating the 27.5 GHz Frequency Band, 
Establishing Rules and Policies for Local Multipoint Distribution (NPRM 
CC Docket No. 92-297).
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of existing collection.
    Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit; State, Local or Tribal 
Governments; Small businesses or organizations.
    Number of Respondents: 1,476.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 8 hours.
    Total Annual Burden: 11,808 hours
    Needs and Uses: The NPRM solicits public comment to amend 47 CFR 
Parts 1 and 21 to redesignate the 27.5 - 29.5 GHz frequency and to 
establish rules and policies for the Local Multipoint Distribution 
Service (LMDS). The information requested will be used by FCC personnel 
to determine whether the applicant is qualified legally and technically 
to be licensed to use the radio spectrum.

Federal Communications Commission.
