FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the 
Federal Communications Commission, Comments Requested

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) invites the 
general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to 
comment on the following information collection(s). Comments are 
requested concerning: 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; the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; 
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; and further ways to reduce the 
information burden for small business concerns with fewer than 25 
employees. The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of 
information unless it displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. No 
person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a 
collection of information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) 
that does not display a valid Control Number.

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before September 15, 2014. 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 FCC 
contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Submit your PRA comments to Leslie F. Smith, Office of 
Managing Director (OMD), Federal Communications Commission (FCC), via 
the Internet at [email protected]. To submit your PRA comments by 
email, send them to [email protected].

    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: No information of a 
confidential nature is requested. However, respondents may request 
materials or information submitted to the Commission to be withheld 
from public inspection under 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission's rules.
    Needs and Uses: In the August 1999 Fifth Report and Order and 
Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (Pricing Flexibility Order), FCC-
206, CC Docket Nos. 94-1 et al., 64 FR 51280 (Sept. 22, 1999), the 
Commission permitted price cap local exchange carriers (LECs) to 
introduce new services on a streamlined basis, without prior approval 
or cost support requirements. The Commission eliminated the public 
interest showing required by section 69.4(g) and the new services test 
required by sections 61.49 (f) and (g), except in the case of new loop-
based switched access services. The information submitted by price cap 
LECs will be used to determine whether their proposed rates for new 
loop-based switched access services are in the public interest and 
whether they meet the new services test.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
