Public Information Collection Requirement Submitted to Office of

information collection requirement to OMB for review and clearance 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3507).

OMB Number: 3060-0292
Title: Part 69, Access Charges
Action: Extension of a currently approved collection
Respondents: State or local governments and businesses or other for-
profit
Frequency of Response: Monthly, semi-annually reporting requirements 
and one-time requirement
Estimated Annual Burden: 5,832 responses; 5.8 hours average burden per 
response; 33,825 hours total annual burden
Needs and Uses: Part 69 of the Commission's rules and regulations 
establishes the rules for access charges for interstate or foreign 
access provided by telephone companies on or after January 1, 1984. 
Part 69 essentially consists of rules or the procedures for the 
computation of access charges which are not information collections as 
defined by 5 CFR 1320. Any reporting or disclosure requirements occurs 
in connection with particular tariff filings with the FCC or other 
state commissions or with records maintained in accordance to the 
Uniform Systems of Accounts (USOA). Section 69.3 requires the annual 
submission of access charge tariffs. Section 69.116(c) and 69.117(c) 
requires LECs to file information with NECA semi-annually pertaining to 
the number of lines in their study areas and interexchange carriers to 
which such lines are presubscribed. This information will be used by 
NECA to assess revenue requirements needed to fund the Universal 
Service Fund and Lifeline Assistance Programs. Section 69.104(k)(1) 
requires that a state or local telephone company wishing to implement 
an end user common line reduction or waiver for its subscribers file 
information with the FCC demonstrating that its state lifeline 
assistance plan meets certain criteria. This is a one-time filing 
requirement. Section 69.104(l) requires local telephone carriers to 
calculate for NECA their projected revenue requirements for the 
lifeline assistance programs. Section 69.605 requires carriers who are 
participating in the pool to report access revenues and cost data so 
that NECA may compute monthly pool revenues distributions. The 
information is used by FCC staff to compute charges in tariffs for 
access service (or origination and termination) and to compute revenue 
pool distributions. Neither process could be implemented without the 
information.

Federal Communications Commission.

Acting Secretary.
