SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    OMB Approval Number: 3060-XXXX.
    Title: Section 68.110(c)--Availability of Inside Wiring 
Information.
    Type of Review: New collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 200.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 6 hours.
    Cost to Respondents: The Commission estimates that the annual cost 
to all respondents to maintain existing records for future disclosure 
upon request is $5,000. Based on 200 carriers within the 50 states, 
this represents only $25 per carrier in additional storage and 
retrieval costs.
    Total Annual Burden: 1,200 hours.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission amended the rule defining the 
demarcation point to: (1) clarify the location, within 12 inches at the 
point at which it enters the customer's premises; (2) indicate only 
major additions or rearrangements of existing wire are to be treated as 
new installations; (3) allow owners of multiunit buildings to restrict 
their customers access to only that wiring within a tenant's individual 
unit; and (4) require telephone companies to provide building owners 
with all available information regarding carrier installed wiring on 
the customer's side of the demarcation point.

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