SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens,

3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) 
invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this 
opportunity to comment on the following information collections. 
Comments are requested concerning: Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the Commission, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; 
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on the 
respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology; and ways to further reduce the 
information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer 
than 25 employees.
    The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. No person 
shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection 
of information subject to the PRA that does not display a valid OMB 
control number.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0817.
    Title: Computer III Further Remand Proceedings: BOC Provision of 
Enhanced Services (ONA Requirements), CC Docket No. 95-20.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities.
    Number of Respondents: 3 respondents; 6 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 2-50 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion; reporting requirements and 
third party disclosure.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to retain or obtain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this information collection is in 47 U.S.C. 
151, 152, 154, 161, 201-205, 208, 251, 260 and 271-276.
    Total Annual Burden: 156 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No cost.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission is not 
requesting that the respondents submit confidential information to the 
FCC. However, applicants may request confidential treatment of 
information they assert is confidential under 47 CFR 0.459 of the 
Commission's rules.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission has eliminated certain reporting 
requirements because the Bell Operating Companies (BOCs) are no longer 
required to file semi-annual reports with the Commission addressing 
Comparably Efficient Interconnection (CEI) and Open Network 
Architecture (ONA) services. BOCs are required to post their CEI plans 
and amendments on their publicly accessible Internet sites. The 
requirement extends to all CEI plans for intraLATA information 
services, telemessaging, or alarm monitoring services, and for new or 
amended payphone services. If the BOC receives a good faith request for 
a plan from someone who does not have Internet access, the BOC must 
notify that person where a paper copy of the plan is available for 
public inspection. The CEI plans will be used to ensure that BOCs 
comply with Commission policies and regulations safeguarding against 
potential anticompetitive behavior by the BOCs in the provision of 
information services.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary, Office of the Secretary, Office of the Managing Director.
