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: Thomas Butler, Federal Communications 
Commission, (202) 418-1492 or via the Internet at 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control No.: 3060-0807.
    OMB Approval Date: 9/27/2007.
    Expiration Date: 09/30/2010.
    Title: Section 51.803 and Supplemental Procedures for Petitions 
Pursuant to Section 252(e)(5) of the Communications Act of 1934, as 
amended.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 60 responses; 1,600 total annual hours; 20 
hours per respondent.
    Needs and Uses: This collection was approved as an extension to an 
existing collection with adjustments to the number of respondents and 
burden hours to reflect the most current information available. Any 
interested party seeking preemption of a state commission's 
jurisdiction based on the state commission's failure to act shall 
notify the Commission (47 U.S.C. 252(e)(5) and 47 CFR 51.803). In a 
1997 Public Notice the Commission set out procedures for filing 
petitions for preemption pursuant to section 252(e)(5). All the 
information will be used to ensure that section 252(e)(5) petitioners 
have complied with their obligations under the Communications Act of 
1934, as amended.

    OMB Control No.: 3060-0894.
    OMB Approval Date: 9/27/2007.
    Expiration Date: 09/30/2010.
    Title: Certification Letter Accounting for Receipt of Federal 
Support and Rate Comparability Review and Certification (47 CFR 54.313 
and 54.316).
    Form No.: N/A.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 103 responses; 315 total annual hours; 5 
hours per response.
    Needs and uses: This collection was approved as an extension to an 
existing collection with adjustments to the number of respondents and 
burden hours to reflect the most current information available. Each 
State that desires non-rural carriers within the state to receive 
federal high-cost support is required to certify that such carriers 
will use the support only for the provision, maintenance, and upgrading 
of facilities and services for which the support is intended. Each 
State also is required to provide information to the Commission 
regarding the comparability of residential rates in rural areas served 
by non-rural carriers within the state to urban rates nationwide. 
Pursuant to the certification process, each state is required to state 
whether its rates in rural areas served by non-rural carriers are 
reasonably comparable to urban rates nationwide and explain the basis 
for its conclusion as well as its proposed remedies, if necessary.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
