support data so that the Commission

can determine the cost associated with

thousands-block number pooling.

Carriers should include an analysis of

the differences between the shared

industry costs associated with

thousands-block number pooling and

the shared industry costs, if any,

associated with the current practices

that result in more frequent area code

changes. Carriers should provide cost

studies that assign costs according to the

following three categories: shared

industry costs; carrier-specific costs

directly related to thousands/block

pooling; and carrier-specific costs not

directly related to thousands-block

number pooling. See Report and Order,

paras. 215–226. (No. of respondents:

1500; hours per response: 10 hours; total

annual burden: 15,000 hours). The data

collected will be used by the FCC, state

regulatory commissions, and the North

American Numbering Plan

administrator (NANPA) to monitor

numbering resource utilization by all

carriers using the resource and to

project the dates of area code and North

American Numbering Plan exhaust.

Obligation to respond: Mandatory.

Public reporting burden for the

collection of information is as noted

above. Send comments regarding the

burden estimate or any other aspect of

the collections of information, including

suggestions for reducing the burden to

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS

COMMISSION

Notice of Public Information

Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the

Federal Communications Commission

June 13, 2000.

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications

Commission, as part of its continuing

effort to reduce paperwork burden

invites the general public and other

Federal agencies to take this

opportunity to comment on the

following information collection(s), as

required by the Paperwork Reduction

Act of 1995, Public Law 104–13. An

agency may not conduct or sponsor a

collection of information unless it

displays a currently valid 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.

Comments are requested concerning (a)

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;

(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s

burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance

the quality, utility, and clarity of the

information collected; and (d) 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.

DATES: Written comments should be

submitted on or before August 4, 2000.

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 contact listed below as soon

as possible.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

OMB Control No.: 3060–0817.

Title: Computer III Further Remand

Proceedings: BOC Provision of

Enhanced Services (ONA

Requirements), CC Docket No. 95–20.

Form No.: N/A.

Type of Review: Extension of a

currently approved collection.

Respondents: Businesses or other forprofit.

Number of Respondents: 5

respondents; 10 responses.

Estimated Time Per Response: 2–50

hours.

Frequency of Response: On occasion

and semi-annual reporting requirements

third party disclosure requirement.

Total Annual Burden: 270 hours.

Total Annual Cost: N/A.

Needs and Uses: In CC Docket 95–20,

Report and Order, the Commission

eliminated outdated, unnecessary

regulations, while continuing to protect

against potential anticompetitive

behavior by the Bell Operating

Companies (BOCs) in the provision of

information services. BOCs are required

to post their CEI plans and amendments

on their publicly accessible Internet

sites rather than filing them with the

Commission to obtain pre-approval

before initiating or altering an

intraLATA information service.

The requirement extends to CEI plans

for new or modified telemessaging or

alarm monitoring services and for new

or amended payphone services. If the

BOC receives a good faith request for a

plan from someone who does not have

internet access, the BOC must notify

that person where a paper copy of the

plan is available for public inspection.

The CEI plans will be used to ensure

that BOCs comply with Commission

policies and regulations safeguarding

against potential anticompetitive

behavior by the BOCs in the provision

of information services.

OMB Control No.: 3060–0906.

Title: Annual DTV Ancillary/

Supplemental Services Report.

Form No.: FCC Form 317.

Type of Review: Extension of a

currently approved collection.

Respondents: Businesses or other forprofit.

Number of Respondents: 100.

Estimated Time Per Response: 2.5

hours.

Needs and Uses: The Commission has

established a program for assessing and

collecting fees for the provision of

ancillary or supplementary services by

commercial digital television licensees.

Licensees are required to report, using

the FCC Form 317, whether they

provide ancillary or supplementary

services, which services were provided,

the services provided which are subject

to a fee, gross revenues received from all

feeable ancillary and supplementary

services, and the amount of bitstream

used to provide ancillary or

supplementary service. This data is

collected annually from commercial

digital television licensees. Licensees

providing services subject to a fee will

also be required to file the FCC Form

159, Remittance Advice. Each licensee

will be required to retain the records

supporting the calculation of the fees

due for three years from the date of

remittance of fees. The data is used by

FCC staff to ensure that DTV licensees

comply with the requirements of

Section 336(e) of the Communications

Act.
