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.

CFR Section 64.707 provides that operator service providers must 
regularly publish and make available upon request from consumers 
written materials that describe any changes in operator services and 
choices available to consumers. Consumers use the information to 
increase their knowledge of the choices available to them in the 
operator services marketplace.

    OMB Control Number: 3060-0973.
    Title: Section 64.1120 (e)--Sale of Transfer of Subscriber Base to 
Another Carrier, CC Dockets 00-257 and 94-129.

carrier will self-certify to the Commission, in advance of the 
transfer, that the carrier will comply with the required procedures, 
including giving advance notice to the affected subscribers in a manner 
that ensures the protection of their interests. By streamlining the 
carrier change rules, the Commission will continue to protect 
consumers' interests and, at the same time, will ensure that its rules 
do not inadvertently inhibit routine business transactions. On July 16, 
2004, the Commission released a First Order on Reconsideration and 
Fourth Order on Reconsideration which made a minor modification to 47 
CFR 64.1120 (e) (iii).
    The modification in the rule does not impose any new or modified 
information collection requirements. Also, the modification does not 
affect the existing annual hourly and cost changes.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
