Number. The OMB Control Number is 3060-0400. The foregoing notice is 
required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13,

    Needs and Uses: In the Report and Order, FCC 18-182, the Commission 
amended its part 36 jurisdictional separations rules by providing rate-

those relationships so that they can categorize their costs based on 
current circumstances.

with information requirements that have already been accounted for and 
approved under OMB Control Number 3060-0400, Part 61, Tariffs (Other
