Commission's rules.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this information 
collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) after this 60

decrease in the total number of responses; and a decrease of 150 hours

estimates for each reporting or third party disclosure requirement.

under Section 259 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, are: 
(1) Filing of tariffs, contracts or arrangements; (2) information 
concerning deployment of new services and equipment; and (3) notice 
upon termination of section 259 agreements.
    The information collected by the Commission will: (1) Under the 
requirement that incumbent that LECs who file any tariffs, contracts or 
other arrangements for infrastructure sharing will be made available 
for public inspection; (2) that LECs provide timely information on 
planned deployments of new services and equipment will be provided to 
third parties (qualifying carriers); and (3) providing incumbent LECs 
furnish 60 days notice prior to termination of a section 259 sharing 
agreement will be provided to third parties (qualifying carriers) to 
protect customers from sudden changes in service.

Federal Communications Commission.
