OMB Approval Number: 3060-0484.
    Title: Amendment of Part 63 of the Commissions Rules to Provide for 
Notification of Common Carriers of Service Disruptions - Section 
63.100.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Revision of existing collection.
    Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 208.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 5 hours.
    Total Annual Burden: 1,040.
    Needs and Uses: 47 CFR Section 63.100 requires that any local 
exchange or interexchange common carrier that operates transmission or 
switching facilites and provides access service or interstate or 
international telecommunications service that experiences an outage on 
any facilites which it owns or operates must notify the Commission if 
such service outage continues for 30 minutes or more. An initial and a 
final report is required for each outage. In an Order of 
Reconsideration in CC Docket No. 91-273, the Commission amended the 
rules to require, among other things, that local exchange or 
interexchange common carriers or competitive access providers that 
operate either transmission or switching facilites and provide access 
service or interstate or international telecommunications service 
report outages that effect 30,000 or more customers or that affect 
special facilities and report fire-related incidents impacting 1,000 or 
more lines. With such reports the FCC can monitor and take effective 
action to ensure network reliability.
