FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Information Collection Approved by the Office of Management and 
Budget

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission has received Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approval for the following public 
information collection(s) pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520). An agency may not conduct or sponsor a 
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB 
control number, and no person is required to respond to a collection of 
information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. 
Comments concerning the accuracy of the burden estimate(s) and any 
suggestions for reducing the burden should be directed to the person 
listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ginny Kennedy, Wireline Competition 
Bureau, Telecommunications Access Policy Division at 202-418-7400 or e-
mail at [email protected]

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0774.
    OMB Approval Date: June 23, 2011.
    Expiration Date: June 30, 2014.
    Title: Parts 36 and 54, Federal-State Joint Board on Universal 
Service.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 7,577,634 responses; .084 hours-125 hours 
(average); 1,152,255 hours total per year.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 
U.S.C. 151-154, 201-205, 218-220, 214, 254, 303(r), 403 and 410.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality. However, respondents may request materials or 
information submitted to the Commission be withheld from public 
inspection under 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission's rules.
    Needs and Uses: The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved 
the revision to the subject collection. In this revision, the 
Commission made mathematical corrections, rule part consolidations, and 
eliminated one item to avoid duplicity (information was being reported 
on the same rule provision under a different OMB control number). 
Redundant or unnecessary information was removed. OMB approved a 
127.200 hour burden reduction adjustment. In the Telecommunications Act 
of 1996 (1996 Act), Congress directed the Commission to implement a new 
set of universal service support mechanisms that are explicit and 
sufficient to advance the universal service principles enumerated in 47 
U.S.C. 254.

Federal Communications Commission.

Deputy Manager, Office of the Secretary, Office of Managing Director.
