corrections or modifications. The forms

are necessary to enable the Commission

to monitor the access tariffs and price

cap earnings, and to enforce rate of

return prescriptions. A copy of each

report must be retained in the principal

office of the respondent and shall be

filed in such manner as to be readily

available for reference and inspection.

The Commission does not specify a

retention period.

The data is used by staff members for

enforcement purposes and by the public

in analyzing the industry. The reports

are also used by the Commission in the

tariff review process and provide both

the Commission and the carriers with an

early warning system if rate adjustments

are necessary to correct significant

targeting errors.

COMMISSION

Public Information Collections

Approved by Office of Management

and Budget

April 20, 1998.

The Federal Communications

Commission (FCC) has received Office

of Management and Budget (OMB)

approval for the following public

information collection pursuant to the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,

Public Law 104–13. An agency may not

conduct or sponsor and a person is not

required to respond to a collection of

information unless it displays a

currently valid control number. For

further information contact Shoko B.

Federal Communications Commission.

OMB Control No.: 3060–0828.

Expiration Date: 10/31/98.

Title: State Forward-Looking Cost

Studies for Federal Universal Service

Support (Public Notice).

Form No.: N/A.

Respondents: State, Local or Tribal

Government.

Estimated Annual Burden: 47

respondents; 19 hour per response

(avg.); 893 total annual burden hours.

Estimated Annual Reporting and

Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $0.

Frequency of Response: On occasion.

Description: The Telecommunications

Act of 1996 (1996 Act) directed the

Commission to initiate a rulemaking to

reform our system of universal service

so that universal service is preserved

and advanced as markets move toward

competition. On May 8, 1997, the

Commission released the Report and

Order on Universal Service (Universal

Service Order) in CC Docket 96–45 that

established new federal universal

service support mechanisms consistent

with the universal service provisions of

Section 254. In the Universal Service

Order, the Commission stated that it

would use cost studies filed by state

commissions to determine non-rural

carriers’ forward-looking cost of

providing universal service if those

studies met the criteria specified in the

Universal Service Order. The

Commission also stated that it would

work together with the states and the

Joint Board to develop a uniform cost

study review plan that would

standardize the format for presentation

of cost studies in order to facilitate

review by interested parties and the

Commission. The Public Notice on State

Forward-Looking Cost Studies presents

this format. The Public Notice sets forth

the information needed to evaluate

whether a state’s cost study complies

with the criteria set forth in the

Universal Service Order. To enable the

Commission to make its determination

in a timely fashion, we also set forth the

manner in which this information

should be presented. The format is to be

used by all states submitting cost

studies and should simplify and

standardize the submission and review

of state cost studies for the Commission,

the states, and other interested parties.

Obligation to respond: Voluntary. Public

reporting burden for the collections 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
