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 (PRA) 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: Persons wishing to comment on this information collection should 
submit PRA comments August 18, 2003. 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 Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments to Judith 
B. Herman, Federal Communications Commission, 445 12th Street, SW., 
Room 1-C804, Washington, DC 20554 or via the Internet to [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information or copies

Part 52, Subpart D, Sections 52.101--52.111.
    Form No.: N/A.

    Needs and Uses: Responsible organizations (RespOrgs) who wish to 
make a specific toll-free number unavailable must submit written 
requests to Database Services Management Inc. (DMSI), the toll-free 
data administrator. The request shall include the appropriate 
documentation of the reason for the request. DMSI, and if necessary, 
the Commission will use the information collected to determine if a 
particular toll-free number can be placed in ``unavailable'' status. 
This will prevent the fraudulent use of toll free numbers.

    OMB Control No.: 3060-0723.
    Title: Public Disclosure of Network Information by Bell Operating 
Companies (BOCs).

required by the BOCs must be provided to third parties. All of the 
requirements would be used to ensure that BOCs comply with their 
obligations under the 1996 Act.
