[[Page 19752]]

opportunity to comment on the following information collection, as 
required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. An 
agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it 
displays a currently valid control number. No person shall be subject 
to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information 
subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that does not display a 
valid control number. Comments are requested concerning (a) whether the 
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper 
performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the 
information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 
Commission's burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, 
and clarify of the information collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 
burden of the collection of information on the respondents, including 
the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology.

DATES: Persons wishing to comment on this information collection should 
submit comments on or before June 23, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Direct all comments to Dorothy Conway, Federal 
Communications Commission, Room 234, 1919 M St., N.W., Washington, DC 
20554 or via internet to [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information or copies 
of the information collections contact Dorothy Conway at 202-418-0217 
or via internet at [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    OMB Approval No.: None-(3060-XXXX).
    Title: Second Report and Order, Toll Free Service Access Codes, CC 
Docket No. 95-155.
    Type of Review: New Collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 168.
    Estimate Hour Per Response: 1 hour.
    Frequency of Response: Approximately 15 requests per year per 
respondent.
    Total Annual Burden: 2,250 hours.
    Needs and Uses: RespOrgs requesting that specific toll free numbers 
be placed in unavailable status will be required to submit written 
requests, with appropriate documentation, to the toll free database 
administrator, Database Services Management, Inc. (DSMI). This 
requirement will hold those RespOrgs more accountable and will decrease 
abuses of the lag time process. It will prevent numbers from being held 
in unavailable status without demonstrated reasons, and will make more 
numbers available for subscribers who need and want them. DSMI (and, if 
necessary, the Common Carrier Bureau) will continue to use the 
information collected to determine if a particular toll free number 
appropriately can be placed in ``unavailable'' status. This will 
prevent the fraudulent use of toll free numbers.

Federal Communications Commission.
William F. Caton,
Acting Secretary.
