Federal Communications Commission

OMB Control No.: 3060-0421.
    Expiration Date: 02/28/99.
    Title: New Service Reporting Requirements Under Price Cap 
Regulation.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 1280 total annual hours; 20 hours per 
respondent; 16 respondents.
    Description: Price cap carriers filing new service tariffs are 
subject to a quarterly reporting requirement which commences six months 
after initiation of new services. The net revenue data report is useful 
to the public and the Commission in determining the reasonableness of 
rates for new services. These reports are used to compare actual 
operating results with projections.

OMB Control No.: 3060-0536.
    Expiration Date: 05/31/96.
    Title: Rules and Requirements for Telecommunications Relay Services 
(TRS) Interstate Cost Recovery.
    Form No.: FCC Form 431.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 46,3000; 9.26 hours per respondent 
(average); 5000 respondents.
    Description: The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 requires 
the Commission to ensure that telecommunications relay services are 
available, to the extent possible, to individuals with hearing and 
speech disabilities in the United States. To fulfill this mandate, the 
Commission adopted rules which require the provision of TRS services, 
set minimum standards for telecommunications relay services (TRS) 
providers and establish a shared-funding mechanism for recovering the 
costs of providing interstate TRS. See 47 CFR Sections 64.601-64.605. 
FCC Form 431 is used in implementing the shared-funding program for the 
recovery of interstate TRS relay services costs. All common carriers 
must contribute to the TRS fund and complete FCC Form 431. The 
information is used to administer the program. The 1995 TRS Fund 
Worksheet (FCC Form 431) has been updated to include the new expiration 
date. Please note that the 1996 edition of the FCC Form 431 is not 
available for public use.

OMB Control No.: 3060-0540.
    Expiration Date: 05/31/96.
    Title: Tariff Filing Requirements for Nondominant Common Carriers.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 202,500 total annual hours; 40.5 hours per 
respondent; 5000 respondents.
    Description: 47 CFR Part 61, Sections 61.20 - 61.23 contain tariff 
filing requirements for nondominant common carriers. Section 203 of the 
Communications Act requires that carriers file schedules indicating the 
rates, terms, and conditions of their service offerings. 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.

OMB Control No.: 3060-0681.
    Expiration Date: 02/28/99.
    Title: Toll-Free Service Access Codes--CC Docket No. 95-155.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 664,070 total annual responses; .166 hours 
per response (average); 4,000,000 respondents.
    Description: In the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking issued in CC 
Docket No. 95-155, the Commission solicited public comment on how toll 
free numbers should be reserved, assigned, and used. The NPRM also 
proposed several information collections to advance the efficient use 
of toll free numbers, facilitate planning, permit more effective 
analysis of anticipated number exhaustion and prevent fraud. The 
entities affected include Responsible Organizations, 800 service 
providers, third party agents, individuals, and/or the administrator of 
the SMS/800 database. OMB approved several of the proposed requirements 
including the proposed recordkeeping, reporting and certification 
requirements contained in the NPRM.
