on the following information collection(s), as required by the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), 44 U.S.C. Sections 3501--3520. 
An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless 
it displays a current valid control number. No person shall be subject

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's burden 
estimate; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the

    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Businesses or other for profit; State, local or tribal

    Nature of Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission is not

information they believe to be confidential under 47 CFR 0.459 of the 
Commission's rules.
    Needs and Uses: In the Communications Act of 1934, as amended by 
the Telecommunications Act of 1996, the Federal Communications 
Commission (``Commission'') was given ``exclusive jurisdiction over 
those portions of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) that 
pertains to the United States.'' To ensure that the numbering resources 
of the NANP continue to be used efficiently, the Commission requires 
that applications to state commissions from carriers must demonstrate 
that certain requirements are met before states grant any use of the 
safety valve mechanism. It also requires that State commissions seeking 
to implement service-specific and/or technology-specific area code 
overlays, must request delegated authority to do so. The information 
collected by the FCC and state commissions will be used to assist these 
regulatory bodies in their efforts to maximize the efficiency with 
which numbering resources in the NANP are utilized.
