Being Reviewed by the Federal

Comments Requested

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, 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520. 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; (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; and (e) ways to 

further reduce the information 

collection burden for small business 

concerns with fewer than 25 employees. 

The FCC may not conduct or sponsor 

a collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB 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 that does not 

display a currently valid OMB control 

number.

Title: Review of the Section 251 

Unbundling Obligations of Incumbent 

Local Exchange Carriers, CC Docket No. 

01–338 and WC Docket No. 04–313, 

FCC 04–290, Order on Remand. 

Form No.: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit, not-for-profit institutions, and 

state, local or tribal government. 

Number of Respondents: 645 

respondents; 645 responses. 

Estimated Time Per Response: 8 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement, recordkeeping 

requirement and third party disclosure 

requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this collection of 

information is contained in 47 U.S.C. 

251. 

Total Annual Burden: 5,160 hours. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

The Commission is not requesting 

respondents to submit or disclose 

confidential information. However, in 

certain circumstances, respondents may 

voluntarily choose to submit 

confidential information pursuant to 

applicable confidentiality rules. 

Need and Uses: The Commission will 

submit this information collection after 

this 60 day comment period in order to 

obtain the full three year clearance from 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB). The Commission has not 

changed its burden estimates or 

requirements that were submitted to the 

OMB for approval in 2007. 

All of the information collections 

implement the requirements of section 

251 of the Telecommunications Act of 

1996. Section 251 is designed to 

accelerate private sector development 

and deployment of telecommunications 

technologies and services by spurring 

competition. In order to foster 

competition in the local telephone 

market, the Act requires incumbent 

local exchange carriers (incumbent 

LECs) to share certain elements of their 

local telephone networks, providing 

them to other carriers at reasonable 

prices on an unbundled basis. These 

‘‘unbundled network elements’’ (UNEs) 

are necessary for competition because 

the only alternative, building entire new 

telephone networks, would be 

prohibitively expensive for new 

entrants. 

In Order, FCC 03–36, the Commission 

adopted rules and regulations designed 

to eliminate operational barriers to 

competition in the telecommunications 

services market and implement certain 

provisions of Section 251, including the 

UNE obligations of incumbent LECs. 

In the Order on Remand, FCC 04–290, 

the Commission responded to a decision 

by the United States Court of Appeals 

for the District of Columbia that vacated 

the ‘‘sub-delegation’’ of authority to 

state commissions and vacated and 

remanded certain nationwide 

impairment findings, including mass
