    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has received Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approval for the following public 
information collections pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995, Pub. L. 104-13. An agency may not conduct or sponsor and a person

    Expiration Date: 03/31/2000.
    Title: Implementation of the Non-Accounting Safeguards of Section

    Estimated Annual Burden: 5 respondents; 24.6 hours per response 
(avg.); 123 total annual burden hours.
    Estimated Annual Reporting and Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $0.
    Description: OMB approved the collections of information contained 
in the Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FNPRM) issued in CC 
Docket No. 96-149. In CC Docket 96-149, the Commission proposed that 
Bell Operating Companies (BOCs) make certain information disclosures 
publicly available. The disclosure includes the amount of time, 
measured in percentages and averages, that it takes a BOC to respond to 
its section 272 affiliates requests for service. The FNPRM tentatively 
concluded that BOCs must submit an annual affidavit to the Commission 
certifying, inter alia, that they are maintaining the information 
according to the required format. All of the collections would be used 
to ensure that BOCs comply with the nondiscrimination requirement of 
section 272(e)(1) under the Telecommunications Act of 1996. The 
collected information would be made publicly available.
    Public reporting burden for the collections of information is as 
noted above. Send comments regarding the burden estimate or any other 
aspect of the collections of information, including suggestions for 
reducing the burden to the Records Management Branch, Washington, D.C. 
20554.
