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.

currently approved collection.

December 2002, the Commission issued 

a Second Further Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking seeking comment on 

specific aspects of three connectionbased proposals to further refine the 

record in its proceeding to revisit its 

universal service contribution 

methodology. First, the Commission 

sought comment on a contribution 

methodology that would impose a 

minimum contribution obligation on all 

interstate telecommunications carriers, 

and a flat charge for each end-user 

connection, depending on the nature or 

capacity of the connection. Next, the 

Commission sought comment on a 

proposal to assess all connections based 

purely on capacity. Finally, the 

Commission sought comment on a 

proposal to assess providers of switched 

connections based on their working 

telephone numbers. If adopted, the 

proposals may entail altering the current 

reporting requirements to which 

interstate telecommunications carriers 

are subject under Part 54 of the 

Commission’s rules.
