FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
Public Information Collection Approved by Office of Management
and Budget
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has received Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) approval for the following public

Federal Communications Commmission, (202) 632-6934.
Federal Communications Commission
OMB Control No.: 3060-0590.
Title: In the Matter of Transport Rate Structure and Pricing, CC
Docket No. 91-213, Second Report and Order, released January 31, 1994.
Expiration Date: 04/30/94.
Estimated Annual Burden: 110 total hours; 2 hours per response.
Description: In the Second Report and Order in CC Docket No. 91-213
(released 1/31/94), the Commission modified certain features of the
price cap regulatory system applicable to local exchange carriers
(LECs) to accommodate the recent restructure of the LECs local
transport rates. Transport services, including all the transmission-
related elements, the tandem switching charge, and the interconnection
charge, were moved out of the price cap basket for traffic sensitive
services and placed into a combined ``trunking'' basket containing
transport and special access services. The Commission realigned the
service categories and subcategories within the trunking basket to
reflect the similarities between certain special access and flat-rated
transport services, and to accommodate the new density zone pricing
system that were adopted for both special access and transport. The
pricing bands applicable to the service categories and subcategories
were also adapted. All LECs subject to the price cap rules are required
to file a supplemental tariff review plan to recalculate their price
cap indexes pursuant to the decision in the Order. The recalculated
indexes should be used as the basis of any price cap filing that
changes rates of services in the trucking or traffic sensitive baskets
subsequent to the effective date of the initial restructured transport
tariffs. Subsequent tariff filings must be made pursuant to the
modified rules. The information will be used to aid in the review of
the LECs transport service restructure by the Commission and interested
parties.
OMB Control No.: 3060-0484.
Title: Amendment of part 63 of the Commission's Rules to Provide
for the Notification of Common Carriers of Service Disruptions--R&O,
Sec. 63.100.
Expiration Date: 06/30/96.
Estimated Annual Burden: 239 total hours; 2.3 hours per response.
Description: In the Memorandum Opinion and Order and Further Notice
of Proposed Rulemaking, in CC Docket No. 91-273, released December 1,
1993, the Commission amended 47 CFR 63.100 to include competitive
access providers among those required to report outages lasting 30 or
more minutes and potentially affecting 50,000 or more of their
customers. This action is necessary to ensure the Commission's ability
to monitor outages and determine what steps may be necessary to ensure
network reliability. The amendment will provide the Commission with the
additional information it needs to perform this task. OMB approval also
includes the Commission's proposal to amend Sec. 63.100 to require that
local exchange and interexchange common carriers that operate either
transmission or switching facilities report outages affecting 30,000 or
more customers or special facilities.
OMB Control No.: 3060-0583.
Title: Amendment of part 32 and 64 of the Commission's rules to
Account for Transactions Between Carriers and Their Nonregulated
Affiliates--CC Docket No. 93-251 (Proposed Rules).
Expiration Date: 10/31/96.
Estimated Annual Burden: 320,020 total hours; 4980 total hours per
response.
Description: OMB approved the proposed requirements contained in
the Commission's notice of proposed rulemaking (notice) in CC Docket
No. 93-453, released October 20, 1993. The notice sought comments to
amend the Commission's affiliate transaction rules and on the specific
procedures telephone companies would use in implementing the proposed
rules. The FCC proposed these measures to enhance its ability to keep
telephone companies from imposing the costs of nonregulated activities
on interstate ratepayers, and to keep ratepayers from being harmed by
the telephone companies imprudence. The Notice proposed new and
modified information requirements to help ensure that carriers adhere
to the proposed affiliate transactions rule amendments.
