FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Submitted for 
Review to the Office of Management and Budget

July 25, 2005.

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: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before September 9, 2005. If you anticipate that you 
will be submitting PRA 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, Room 1-C804, 445 12th

    Title: Regulation of International Accounting Rates.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 5 respondents; 41 responses.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 1 hour per requirement.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 205 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $2,200.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission is revising this collection by 
mandating electronic filing. This will eliminate paper filings and 
requires applicants to file electronically all applications and other 
filings related to international telecommunications services via the 
user-friendly, Internet-based International Bureau Filing System 
(IBFS).
    Additionally, the Commission plans to develop two new accounting 
rate change applications that impact this information collection. We do 
not know the specific time frame for the development of each 
application. However, the estimated completion date for the 
applications is December 31, 2008. The development of the applications 
is contingent upon the availability of budget funds, human resources 
and other factors. The annual burden hours and costs are unknown at 
this time because the forms have not been developed by the Commission 
yet.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
