    Bell Operating Companies (BOCs) are required to post their 
Comparably Efficient Interconnection (CEI) plans and amendments on 
their publicly accessible Internet sites. The requirement extends to 
all CEI plans for new or modified telemessaging or alarm monitoring 
services and for new or amended payphone services. If the BOC receives 
a good faith request for a plan from someone who does not have Internet 
access, the BOC must notify that person where a paper copy of the plan 
is available for public inspection. The CEI plans will be used to 
ensure that BOCs comply with Commission policies and regulations 
safeguarding against potential anticompetitive behavior by the BOCs in 
the provision of information services.

    OMB Control No.: 3060-0725.

extension (no change in requirements) in order to obtain the full three 
year clearance from them.
    This information collection contains quarterly filing of 
nondiscrimination reports on quality of service, installation and 
maintenance by Bell Operating Companies (BOCs). BOCs must submit 
nondiscrimination reports with regard to payphones to prevent BOCs from 
discriminating in favor of their own payphones. The reports allow the 
Commission to determine how the BOCs will provide competing payphone 
providers with equal access to all the basic underlying network 
services that are provided to its own payphones.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
