FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission Under Delegated Authority

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission invites the general 
public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment 
on the following information collection(s). 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 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 (PRA) that does 
not display a valid OMB control number.

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before June 4, 2012. If you anticipate that you will be 
submitting PRA comments, but find it difficult to do so within the 
period of time allowed by this notice, you should advise the FCC 
contact listed below as soon as possible.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Judith B. Herman, Office of Managing 
Director, (202) 418-0214.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0817.
    Title: Computer III Further Remand Proceedings: BOC Provision of 
Enhanced Services (ONA Requirements), CC Docket No. 95-20.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities.
    Number of Respondents: 3 respondents; 6 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 2-50 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion and semi-annual reporting 
requirements.
    Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. Statutory authority for this 
information collection is in 47 U.S.C. sections 151, 152, 154, 161, 
201-205, 208, 251, 260 and 271-276.
    Total Annual Burden: 162 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: N/A.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission is not 
requesting that the respondents submit confidential information to the 
FCC. However, applicants may request confidentiality and request 
confidential treatment of their information they believe is 
confidential under 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission's rules.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission is seeking OMB approval for an 
extension of this expiring information collection in order to obtain 
the full three year approval from them. There are no changes in the 
reporting requirements. The Commission has adjusted the total burden 
hours from 216 to 162 hours because there are only three Bell Operating 
Companies (BOCs) instead of four--which was reported in 2009.
    Bell Operating Companies (BOCs) are required to post their 
Comparably Efficient Interconnection (CEI) plans and amendments on 
their publicly accessible Internet sites. The requirement extends to 
all CEO plans for intraLATA information services, 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.

Federal Communications Commission.
