Federal Communications Commission, Comments Requested

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its

on the following information collection(s), as required by the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), 44 U.S.C. Sections 3501-3520. An 
agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it 
displays a current valid control number. No person shall be subject to 
any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information 
subject to the 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 PRA comments should be submitted on or before September 
19, 2008. If you anticipate that you will be submitting 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.

believe is confidential, respondents may request confidential treatment 
of such information pursuant to section 0.459 of the Commission's 
rules, 47 CFR Section 0.459.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission requires Tier 1 local exchange 
carriers (LECs) to provide expanded opportunities for third-party 
interconnection with their interstate special access facilities. The 
LECs are permitted to establish a number of rate zones within study 
areas in which expanded interconnection is operational. In the Fifth 
Report and Order in CC Docket No. 96-262, the Commission allows price 
cap LECs to define the scope and number of zones within a study area. 
These LECs must file and obtain approval of their pricing plans which 
will be used by FCC staff to ensure that the rates are just, reasonable 
and nondiscriminatory.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
