FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the 
Federal Communications Commission

August 14, 2002.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its 
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 September 19, 
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.

ADDRESSES: Direct all comments to Judith Boley Herman, Federal 
Communications Commission, Room 1-C804, 445 12th Street, SW., DC 20554 
or via the Internet to [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information or copies 
of the information collection(s), contact Judith Boley Herman at 202-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB Control No.: 3060-0540.
    Title: Tariff Filing Requirements for Nondominant Common Carriers.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 2,000.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 10.5 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 21,000 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $1,260,000.
    Needs and Uses: The information collected pursuant to the 
nondominant tariff filing rules is used to comply with Section 203 of 
the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, which requires that 
carriers file schedules indicating the rates, terms, and conditions of 
their service offerings. The information collected pursuant to the 
tariff filing requirements is used by the Commission to determine 
whether the rates, terms, and conditions of service offered are just 
and reasonable as the Act requires. These tariff filing requirements 
enable the Commission and the public to ensure that the service 
offerings of communications common carriers comply with the 
requirements of the Act. If the information were not filed, the 
Commission would not be able to carry out its responsibilities as 
required by the Act.
    The Commission is publishing this notice to seek an extension of 
OMB approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
