continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden invites the general public 
and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the 
following information collection(s), 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 clarity 
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: Written comments should be submitted on or before January 23, 
2002. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find 
it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice, 
you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.

    Needs and Uses: The Commission has a program to monitor the impacts

the monitoring program were eliminated due to access reform.

    Needs and Use: In the Memorandum Opinion and Order issued in CC 
Docket No. 96-128, the Commission clarified requirements established in 
the Payphone Orders for the provision of payphone-specific coding 
digits by LECs and PSPs, to IXCs, beginning October 7, 1997. 
Specifically, the Order clarified that only FLEX ANI complies with the 
requirements; required that LECs file tariffs to FLEX ANI as a 
nonchargeable option to IXCs; required that LECs file tariffs to 
recover costs associated with implementing FLEX ANI; and grants 
permission and certain waivers. This is an extension of a currently 
approved collection. The Commission is seeking approval to extend this 
collection for three years, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act.
