order revising its international settlement rate benchmarks, a summary 
of which was published in the Federal Register. See 62 FR 45758, August 
29, 1997. Section 43.61(b) of the Commission's rules imposed new or 
modified information collection requirements. We stated that ``the 
information collection requirements adopted in this Order will become 
effective following Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval. The 
Commission will publish a document at a later date establishing the 
effective date.'' The information collections were approved by OMB on 
January 23, 1998. See OMB No. 3060-0106. This publication satisfies our
