FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS

COMMISSION

Public Information Collections

Approved by Office of Management

and Budget

June 25, 2001.

The Federal Communications

Commission (FCC) has received Office

of Management and Budget (OMB)

approval for the following public

information collections 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.

OMB Control No.: 3060–0988.

Expiration Date: 12/31/2001.

Title: Election to Freeze Part 36

Categories and Allocations.

34930 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 127 / Monday, July 2, 2001 / Notices

Form No.: N/A.

Respondents: Business or other forprofit.

Estimated Annual Burden: 700

respondents; .50 hours per response

(avg.); 350 total annual burden hours

(for all collections approved under this

control number).

Estimated Annual Reporting and

Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $0.

Frequency of Response: One-time

Requirement; Third Party Disclosure.

Description: In a Report and Order

issued in CC Docket No. 80–286,

released May 22, 2001 (FCC 01–162),

the Commission adopted the

recommendation of the Federal-State

Joint Board to impose an interim freeze

of the Part 36 category relationships and

jurisdictional cost allocation factors.

Specifically, pending comprehensive

reform of the Part 36 separations rules,

the Commission adopted a freeze of all

Part 36 category relationships and

allocation factors for price cap carriers,

and a freeze of all allocation factors for

rate-of-return carriers. The interim

freeze will be in effect for five years or

until the Commission has completed

comprehensive separations reform,

whichever comes first. The Commission

further concluded that several issues,

including the separations treatment of

Internet traffic, should be addressed in

the context of comprehensive

separations reform. The Commission

believes that these measures will bring

simplification and regulatory certainty

to the separations process in a time of

rapid market and technology changes

until reform is completed. The

Commission recognized that smaller

rate-of-return ILECs, because of their

differing business structures, would not

be required to freeze both their Part 36

categories and allocation factors, unlike

price cap carriers. The Commission

found, however, that those rate-of-return

carriers that desire to freeze their

categories may elect to do so by July 1,

2001. Accordingly, the Commission

adopted a final rule providing that rateof-return carriers participating in the

National Exchange Carrier Association

(NECA or Association) tariffs should

notify NECA by July 1, 2001, if they

elect to freeze their categories. Rate-ofreturn carriers that do not participate in

Association tariffs will be able to elect

to freeze their categories by notifying

the Commission of their election by July

1, 2001. The Commission will use the

information to verify which rate of rateof-return ILECs have decided to freeze

their Part 36 categories, as well as their

allocation factors. Obligation to

respond: Required to obtain or retain

benefits.

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

allowable under the Stafford Act.
