Federal Communications Commission

August 25, 2004.
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 Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before October 1, 2004. 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 regarding this Paperwork Reduction Act 
submission to Judith B. 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 B. Herman at 202-418-
0214 or via the Internet at [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control No.: 3060-0975.
    Title: Promotion of Competitive Networks in Local 
Telecommunications Markets Multiple Environments (47 CFR Parts 1, 64 
and 68).
    Form No: Not applicable.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit, not-for-profit 
institutions, Federal government, and state, local or tribal 
government.
    Number of Respondents: 6,421.
    Estimated Time Per Response: .5--120 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and third 
party disclosure requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 571,350 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: Not applicable.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Not applicable.
    Needs and Uses: This collection involves information regarding the 
location of demarcation points, antennas placed on subscriber premises, 
and the state of the market. This information will be used to foster 
competition in local telecommunications markets by ensuring that 
competing telecommunications providers are able to provide services to 
customers in multiple tenant environments. With this submission to OMB, 
the Commission is seeking revision due to elimination of the NPRM 
requirement, which is no longer in effect. The NPRM measured data that 
was used to guide the Commission as it continues to evaluate and 
monitor the need for non-discriminatory access requirements for 
Multiple Tenant Environments (MTEs). This data informed us of the state 
of the market for the provision of telecommunications services to MTEs, 
was measured mid-year 2001. This requirement has been eliminated.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
