SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its

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 June 3, 2002. 
If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find it

    Needs and Uses: Sections 43.51 and 43.53 requires common carriers 
to submit reports so that the FCC can monitor various activities of 
these carriers to determine the impact on the just and reasonable rates 
required by the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. The information 
contained in these reports is used by FCC staff to determine whether 
the activities reported have affected or are likely to affect adversely 
the carrier's service to the public or whether these activities result 
in undue or unreasonable increases in charges. If this information were 
not reported, the FCC would be unable to ascertain the impact of these 
activities on the just and reasonable rates as required by the Act.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
