Public Information Collection

Requirement Submitted to Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) for

Review

February 21, 1997.

The Federal Communications

Commission has submitted the

following information collection

requirement to OMB for review and

clearance under the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C.

Section 3507. Persons wishing to

comment on this information collection

should contact Timothy Fain, Office of

Management and Budget, Room 10236,

NEOB, Washington, D.C. 20503, (202)

395–0651. For further information,

contact Dorothy Conway, Federal

Communications Commission, (202)

418–0217.

Please note: The Commission has

requested emergency review of this

collection by February 28, 1997, under

the provisions of 5 CFR Section 1320.13.

Federal Communications Commission.

OMB Control No.: 3060–0536.

Title: Rules and Requirements for

Telecommunications Relay Services

(TRS) Interstate Cost Recovery.

Form No.: FCC Form 431.

Action: Revised Collection.

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities.

Estimated Annual Burden: 5000

respondents; 3.1 hours per response

(avg.); 15593 hours total annual burden.

Needs and Uses: Title IV of the

Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990

(ADA) requires the Commission to

ensure that telecommunications relay

services are available, to the extent

possible, to individuals with hearing

and speech disabilities in the United

States. To fulfill this mandate, the

Commission adopted rules that require

the provision of TRS service beginning

July 26, 1993. The Commission set

minimum standards for TRS providers

and established a shared-funding

mechanism (TRS Fund) for recovering

the costs of providing interstate TRS.

The Commission also appointed the

National Exchange Carrier Association

(NECA) the TRS Fund administrator,

and directed NECA to establish a nonpaid, voluntary advisory committee to

monitor cost recovery matters.

The Commission’s rules require all

carriers providing interstate

telecommunications services to

contribute to the TRS Fund. The amount

contributed is the product of the

carrier’s gross interstate revenues for the

previous year and a contribution factor

determined annually by the

Commission. Contributions are

calculated in accordance with a TRS

Fund Worksheet which is prepared each

year by the Commission and published

in the Federal Register. Payments from

the fund are made to eligible TRS

providers and are designed to cover the

reasonable costs incurred in providing

interstate TRS service. The TRS Fund

administrator files a proposed payment

formula and estimated fund

requirements with the Commission each

year, and this payment formula is

subject to Commission approval. See 47

CFR § 64.601-64.608 for rules and

requirements governing

telecommunications relay services. On

December 17, 1996, the Commission’s

Common Carrier Bureau released an

order approving the contribution factor

for the April 1997 through March 1998

contribution period and the 1997 TRS

Fund Worksheet (FCC Form 431) and

also making several revisions to the

form.

The foregoing estimates include the

time for reviewing instructions,

searching existing data sources,

gathering and maintaining the data

needed, and completing and reviewing

the burden estimates or any other aspect

of the collection of information

including suggestions for reducing the

burden to the Federal Communications

Commission, Records Management

Division, Paperwork Reduction Project,

Washington, DC 20554.
