FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Public Information Collections Approved By Office of Management 
and Budget

June 15, 2005.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has received 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for the following public 
information collections pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995, Pub. L. 104-13. An agency may not conduct or sponsor and a person 
is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it 
displays a currently valid control number.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul J. Laurenzano, Federal 
Communications Commission, 445 12th Street, SW., Washington DC, 20554, 
(202) 418-1359 or via the Internet at [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control No.: 3060-0816.
    OMB Approval date: 5/26/2005.
    Expiration Date: 5/31/2008.
    Title: Local Telephone Competition and Broadband Reporting, WC 
Docket No. 04-141, FCC 04-266 (Report and Order).
    Form No.: FCC form 477.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 2,800 responses; 61,320 total annual 
burden hours; approximately 21.9 hours average per respondent.
    Needs and Uses: FCC Form 477 seeks to gather information on the 
development of local competition and deployment of broadband service 
also known as advanced telecommunications services. The data are 
necessary to evaluate the status of developing competition in local 
exchange telecommunications markets and to evaluate the status of 
broadband deployment. The information is used by Commission staff to 
advise the Commission about the efficacy of Commission rules and 
policies adopted to implement the Telecommunications Act of 1996.

    OMB Control No.: 3060-1046.
    OMB Approval date: 5/25/2005.
    Expiration Date: 05/31/2008.
    Title: Implementation of the Pay Telephone Reclassification and 
Compensation Provisions of the Telecommunication Act of 1996, CC Docket 
No. 96-128, Order on Reconsideration.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 4,854 responses; 485,400 total annual 
burden hours; 100 hours average response time per respondent.
    Needs and Uses: On October 3, 2003, the Commission issued a Report 
and Order that required ``Completing Carriers'' to compensate payphone 
service providers (PSPs) for each and every completed call using a 
coinless access number (CC Docket 96-128/FCC 03-235). This Order on 
Reconsideration, released on October 22, 2004, does not change this 
compensation framework, but rather refines and builds upon its 
approach. It provides guidance on the types of contracts that the 
Commission would deem to be reasonable methods of compensating PSPs, 
extends the time period that carriers must retain certain payphone 
records, and clarifies the rules' reporting, certification, and audit 
requirements.

    Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
