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 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.

submitted on or before October 14, 2003. If you anticipate that you

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB Control No.: 3060-0719.
    Title: Quarterly Report of IntraLATA Carriers Listing Payphone 
Automatic Number Identifications (ANIs).
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 400 respondents; 1,600 responses.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 3.5 hours.

    Total Annual Burden: 5,600 hours.

    Needs and Uses: IntraLATA carriers must submit a quarterly list of 
payphone ANIs to the interexchange carriers. This will facilitate 
resolution of disputed ANIs in the par-call compensation context. The 
report allows IXCs to determine which dial-around calls are made from 
payphones. The data which must be maintained for at least 18 months 
after the close of a compensation period will facilitate verification 
of disputed ANIs.
    OMB Control No.: 3060-0743.
    Title: Implementation of the Pay Telephone Reclassification and 
Compensation Provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, CC 
Docket No. 96-128.

other things, the rules: (1) Established fair compensation for every 
completed intrastate and interstate payphone cell; (2) discontinued 
intrastate and interstate access charge payphone service elements and 
payments, and intrastate and interstate payphone subsidies from basic 
exchange services; and (3) adopted guidelines for use by the states in 
establishing public interest payphones to be located where there would

    Needs and Uses: The Telecommunications Act of 1996 contemplates 
that discounts on eligible services shall be provided to schools and

amount of the discounts. FCC Forms 473 and 474 facilitate the 
reimbursement process. FCC Form 472 allows providers to confirm that 
they are actually providing the discounted services to eligible 
entities. FCC Forms 472, 473 and 474 and their instructions are being

    Estimated Time Per Response: 2 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirements and third

of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, to promote deployment of 
advanced services without significantly degrading the performance of 
other services. In CC Docket No. 98-147, the Commission solicited 
comment on whether the requesting carriers should receive demographic 
and other information from ILECs to determine whether they wish to co-
locate at particular remote terminals. In CC Docket No. 96-98 comments 
were sought on whether ILECs should provide certain notifications to 
competing carriers. This information collection has not changed and the 
Commission is seeking OMB to obtain the normal three year clearance.

(ACHP) to take such action as may be necessary to ascertain whether a 
proposed action may affect historic properties that are listed or
