FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Public Information Collections Approved by Office of Management 
and Budget

March 30, 2006.
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, Public Law 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.: 3060-0760.
    OMB Approval Date: 3/7/2006.
    Expiration Date: 3/31/2009.
    Title: Access Charge Reform, CC Docket No. 96-262 (First Report and 
Order); Second Order on Reconsideration and Memorandum Opinion and 
Order, and Fifth Report and Order.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 17 responses; 55,454 total annual burden 
hours; 3--1,575 hours per respondent.
    Needs and Uses: This submission revises the collection to eliminate 
segments that are past the due dates and are no longer needed. This 
submission also revises the burden and respondent figures to provide 
more current and accurate data.
    In the Fifth Report and Order (Order), CC Docket No. 96-262, Access 
Charge Reform, the Commission modified the rules that govern the 
provision of interstate access services by those price cap LECs subject 
to price regulation to advance the pro-competitive, de-regulatory 
national policies embodied in the Telecommunications Act of 1996. The 
pricing flexibility framework adopted in that order was designed to 
grant greater flexibility to price cap LECs as competition develops, 
while ensuring that: (1) Price cap LECs do not use pricing flexibility 
to deter efficient entry or engage in exclusionary pricing behavior; 
and (2) price cap LECs do not increase rates to unreasonable levels for 
customers that lack competitive alternatives.
    OMB Control No.: 3060-0514.
    OMB Approval Date: 3/24/2006.
    Expiration Date: 3/31/2009.
    Title: Section 43.21 (b)--Holding Company Annual Report.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 17 responses; 17 total annual burden 
hours; 1 hour per respondent.
    Needs and Uses: This submission seeks an extension of the existing 
collection of information. The filing of SEC Form 10-K is required by 
sections 1.785 and 43.21(b) of the FCC Rules and authorized by section 
219 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. Each company, not 
itself a communication common carrier, that directly or indirectly 
controls any communication common carrier having annual revenues equal 
to or above the indexed revenue threshold, as defined in section 
32.9000, shall file annually with the Commission, not later than the 
date prescribed by SEC for its purposes two complete copies of any Form 
10-K annual report (or any superseding form) filed with that 
Commission.

    Federal Communications Commission.
