*Needs and Uses:*                     This collection will be submitted to OMB after the 60-day comment period as an extension (no change) to an existing collection. In December 2002, the Commission issued a Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking comment on specific aspects of three connection-based 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.
