not display a valid OMB control number.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0952.
    Title: Proposed Demographic Information and Notifications, Second 
Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FNPRM), CC Docket No. 98-147 and 
Fifth NPRM (NPRM), CC Docket No. 96-98.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities.
    Number of Respondents: 1,200 respondents; 1,200 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 2 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirements and third 
party disclosure requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. Statutory authority for this 
information collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151-154, 201, 202, 
251-254, 256 and 271 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
    Total Annual Burden: 4,800 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: N/A.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission is not 
requesting respondents to submit confidential information to the FCC. 
If the applicants wish to submit information which they believe is 
confidential, they may request confidential treatment of such 
information under 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission's rules.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission is seeking an extension of this 
information collection in order to obtain the full three year approval 
from OMB. There is no change to the reporting and third party 
disclosure requirements.
    The Commission asked whether physical collocation in remote 
terminals presents technical or security concerns, and if so, whether 
these concerns warrant modification of its collocation rules. The 
Commission asked whether incumbent LECs should be required to provide 
requesting carriers with demographic and other information regarding 
particular remote terminals similar to the information available 
regarding incumbent LEC central offices. Requesting carriers use 
demographic and other information obtained from incumbent LECs to 
determine whether they wish to collocate at particular remote 
terminals.
    This proposed information collection in the Second Further Notice 
of Proposed Rulemaking, FCC 98-147, will be used by the Commission, 
state commissions, and competitive carriers to facilitate the 
deployment of advanced services and other telecommunications services 
in implementation of section 251(c)(6) of the Communications Act of 
1934, as amended.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
