SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control No.: 3060-0742.
    Title: Telephone Number Portability (47 CFR part 52, subpart C, 
Sections 52.21-52.33) and CC Docket No. 95-116.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 1,858 respondents; 1,975 responses.
    Estimated Time Per Response: .50 `` 149 hours (average).

disclosure requirement, on occasion and annual reporting requirements.
    Total Annual Burden: 13,613 hours.

    Needs and Uses: 47 CFR part 52, subpart C, implements the statutory 
requirement that LECs provide number portability. In the Memorandum 
Opinion and Order on Reconsideration, issued in CC Docket No. 95-116, 
the Commission implements new and/or modified requirements. (1) In 
order to calculate a multi-region carrier's share of LNP administration 
costs, the agency needs a certification if that carrier cannot divide 
its revenue by LNP region and instead chooses to allocate such revenue 
by subscriber percentages. (2) To ensure that a non-LNP capable 
incumbent LEC participating in an extended area service calling plan 
with an LNP-capable carrier complies with LNP cost recovery law and 
rules, the agency needs the collection by tariff if such a carrier 
seeks to recover its query and LNP administration costs.
    The information is collected and required by the Commission and 
will be used to implement Section 251 of the Communications Act of 
1934, as amended.

    Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
