Public Information Collection

Approved by Office of Management

and Budget

January 22, 1996.

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, Pub.

L. 96–511. 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. Hair, Federal

Communications Commission, (202)

418–1379.

Federal Communications Commission

OMB Control No.: 3060–0682.

Expiration Date: 01/31/99.

Title: Construction of Stand-Alone

Cable System by a Carrier in its

Exchange Telephone Service Area—

Section 63.16, CC Docket No. 87–266.

Estimated Annual Burden: 50 total

annual hours; average 1 hour per

respondent; 50 respondents.

Description: 47 U.S.C. 214 requires

telephone companies to secure

certification from the Federal

Communications Commission (FCC)

before the construction of any ‘‘line’’

used in interstate communication. To

enable the FCC to evaluate whether

such a construction is in the public

interest, carriers have been required to

provide detailed support when

requesting Section 214 authorizations.

47 CFR Section 63.16 permits most

carriers who can certify that they meet

three conditions to secure such

authorization for providing service in

their local service areas without

providing such detailed support.
