     Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
     Number of Respondents: 1,400 respondents; 1,400 responses.
     Estimated Time Per Response: 2 hours x 2 filings per year.
     Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and third 
party disclosure requirement.
     Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. Statutory authority for this 
collection of information is contained in 47 U.S.C. sections 151-154, 
201, 202, 251-254, 256, 271 and 303(r).
     Total Annual Burden: 5,600 hours.
     Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
     Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission is not 
requesting respondents to submit confidential information to the 
Commission. Any respondent who submits information to the Commission 
that they believe is confidential may request confidential treatment of 
such information under 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission's rules.
     Need and Uses: The Commission will submit this expiring 
information collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
during this comment period in order to obtain the three year clearance 
from them. There is no change to the Commission's reporting and/third 
party disclosure requirements.
    The Commission asked whether physical collocation in remote 
terminals presents technical or security concerns and, if so, whether 
these concerns warrant modification of its collocation rules. The 
Commission asked whether incumbent LECs should be required to provide 
requesting carriers with demographic and other information regarding 
particular remote terminals similar to the information available 
regarding incumbent LEC central offices. Requesting carriers use 
demographic and other information obtained from incumbent LECs to 
determine whether they wish to collocate at particular remote 
terminals.
    This proposed collection in the Second Further Notice of Proposed 
Rulemaking (FCC 00-297) will be used by the Commission, the state 
commissions, and competitive carriers to facilitate the deployment of 
advanced services and other telecommunications services in 
implementation of section 251(c)(6) of the Communications Act of 1934, 
as amended.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary, Office of the Secretary, Office of Managing Director.
