47602 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 158 / Thursday, August 14, 2008 / Notices 

Frequency of Response: Monthly and 

quarterly reporting requirements; third 

party disclosure. 

Total Annual Burden: 3,000 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: None. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No 

impact. 

Nature of Extent of Confidentiality: 

The respondents may request 

confidentiality protection for the special 

access performance information. The 

respondents are not required to file their 

customers’ monthly usage information 

with the Federal Communications 

Commission (FCC). 

Needs and Uses: The service quality 

measurement plan for interstate special 

access would require the respondents to 

report special access performance 

metrics on a quarterly basis. Because, 

pursuant to Section 272(f)(1) Sunset of 

the BOC Separate Affiliate and Related 

Requirements; 2000 Biennial Regulatory 

Review Separate Affiliate Requirements 

of Section 64.1903 of the Commission’s 

Rules; Petition of AT&T Inc. for 

Forbearance Under 47 U.S.C. 160(c) 

with Regard to Certain Dominant Carrier 

Regulations for In-Region, Interexchange 

Services, WC Docket Nos. 02–112, 06–

120, CC Docket No. 00–175, Report and 

Order and Memorandum Opinion and 

Order, 22 FCC Rcd 16440 (2007) 

(Section 272 Sunset Order), the 

respondents are no longer required to 

comply with the section 272 structural 

safeguards, the special access 

performance metrics reporting 

requirements will help ensure that these 

carriers do not engage in non-price 

discrimination in the provision of 

special access services to unaffiliated 

entities and will provide the FCC and 

other interested parties with reasonable 

tools to monitor these carriers’

performance in providing these special 

access services to themselves and their 

competitors. The monthly usage 

reporting requirement would require the 

respondents to provide each of their 

residential customers who subscribe to 

a call plan that establishes a single rate 

for unlimited wireline local exchange 

and long distance telecommunications 

service with the total number of long 

distance telecommunications service 

minutes used by that customer each 

month. This monthly usage reporting 

requirement will help ensure that, as a 

result of the relief granted in the Section 

272 Sunset Order residential interstate 

long distance consumers receive 

adequate information regarding their 

monthly usage in order to make 

informed choices among alternative 

long distance calling plans. 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0760. 

Title: 272 Sunset Order, WC Docket 

No. 06–120; Access Charge Reform, CC 

Docket No. 96–262 (First Report and 

Order); Second Order on 

Reconsideration and Memorandum 

Opinion and Order, and Fifth Report 

and Order. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Businesses or other forprofit. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 17 respondents; 904 

responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 3–300 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

and one time reporting requirements. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. See 47 FR 

69.727. 

Total Annual Burden: 30,348 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $700,600. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No 

impacts. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

The Commission is not requesting that 

the respondents submit confidential 

information to the FCC. Respondents 

may, however, request confidential 

treatment for information they believe to 

be confidential under 47 CFR 0.459 of 

the Commission’s rules. 

Needs and Uses: Pursuant to the 

recently-released Section 272 Sunset 

Order, FCC 07–159, respondents are no 

longer required to comply with 47 

U.S.C. 272 structural safeguards. As 

such, the respondents must now file 

certifications with the Commission prior 

to providing contract tariff services to 

itself or to any affiliate that is neither a 

section 272 nor a rule 64.1903 separate 

affiliate for use in the provision of any 

in-region, long distance services that it 

provides service pursuant to that 

contract tariff to an unaffiliated 

customer. The certification requirement 

will ensure, as a result of the relief 

granted in FCC 07–159, equivalent 

protection in the event the BOCs 

provide in-region, long distance services 

directly and will be less burdensome 

and less costly for these providers. 

Please note that the Commission is 

republishing this notice in the Federal 

Register due to our determination that 

the initial publication contained several 

errors and that the methodology use to 

estimate the burdens should be revised. 

The initial publication was on July 24, 

2008 (73 FR 43228). Also, the revisions 

to information collection 3060–0760 

stem from the 272 Sunset Order that 

prompted the new information 

collection 30-day notice being 

published simultaneously.

Proposed Project 

Focus Group Testing to Effectively 

Plan and Tailor Cancer Prevention and 

Control Communication Campaigns—

New—Division of Cancer Prevention 

and Control (DCPC), National Center for 

Chronic Disease Prevention and Health 

Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The mission of CDC’s Division of 

Cancer Prevention and Control (DCPC) 

is to reduce the burden of cancer in the 

United States through cancer 

prevention, reduction of risk, early 

detection, better treatment, and 

improved quality of life for cancer 

survivors. Toward this end, DCPC 

supports the scientific development, 

implementation, and evaluation of 

various health communication 

campaigns with an emphasis on specific 

cancer burdens. This process requires 

testing of messages, concepts, and 

materials prior to their final 

development and dissemination. 

CDC requests OMB approval of a 

generic information collection request to 

develop and test cancer prevention and 

control messages, including, but not 

limited to, colorectal and gynecologic 

cancers. Because communication 

campaigns will vary according to the 

type of cancer, qualitative dimensions of 

the message, and the type of 

respondents, DCPC has developed a 

reference set of questions that can be 

tailored for use in a variety of focus 

group-based information collections. 

The discussion guide for each focus 

group will be drawn from the reference 

set of pre-approved questions. 

Insights gained from the focus groups 

will assist in the development and/or 

refinement of messages and materials to 

ensure that the general public and other 

key audiences clearly understand the 

messages and are motivated to adopt the 

desired action. Screening information 

will be collected from potential 

respondents in order to identify those 

who represent key audiences for 

specific messages. 

The average burden for participating 

in a focus group discussion will be two 

hours. Over a three-year period, DCPC 

will conduct or sponsor up to 72 focus 

groups per year with an average of 12 

respondents each. There are no costs to 

respondents except their time. The total 

estimated annualized burden hours are 

1,814.
