53.211 and 53.213).

Form No.: SEC 10–K Form.

Type of Review: Revision of a

currently approved collection.

Respondents: Business or other forprofit.

Number of Respondents: 27.

Estimated Time Per Response: 1 hour

to 6,056 hours.

Frequency of Response: Biennial,

annual and on occasion reporting

requirements, third party disclosure

requirement, recordkeeping

requirement.

Total Annual Burden: 172,560 hours.

Needs and Uses: In the Report and

Order in CC Docket 96–150, the

Commission addressed the accounting

safeguards necessary to satisfy the

requirements of Sections 260 and 271

through 276 of the Telecommunications

Act of 1996. The Report and Order

prescribed the way ILECs, including the

BOCs, must account for transactions

with affiliates involving, and allocate

costs incurred in the provision of, both

regulated telecommunications services

and nonregulated services, including

telemessaging, interLATA

telecommunications and information

services, telecommunications

equipment and CPE manufacturing and

others. The information collected under

this submission enables the Commission

to ensure that the subscribers to

regulated telecommunications services

do not bear the costs of these new

nonregulated services and that

transactions between affiliates and

carriers will be at prices that do not

ultimately result in unfair rates being

charged to ratepayers.

informal complaints. The information is

needed to ensure compliance with

agency policy.
