[[Page 11563]]

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

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.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before May 3, 
2016. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find

you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Nicole Ongele, FCC, via email to 
[email protected] and to [email protected].

Board on Universal Service.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 20 respondents; 20 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 2-15 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Annual reporting requirements, third party 
disclosure requirements and recordkeeping requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 
U.S.C. 1, 4(i), and (j), 201-209, 218-222, 254 and 403.
    Total Annual Burden: 56 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No cost.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission is not 
requesting respondents to submit confidential information to the 
Commission. If the Commission requests respondents to submit 
information to the Commission that the respondents believe are 
confidential, respondents may wish request confidential treatment of 
such information pursuant to 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission's rules.

local and long-distance telecommunications markets, and to further 
establish explicit universal service support that will be sustainable 
in an increasingly competitive marketplace, pursuant to the mandate of 
the Telecommunications Act of 1996. The Order required price cap local 
exchange carriers (LECs) to modify their annual access tariff filings 
by: (1) Subtracting from their July 2000 tariff filings the estimated 
universal service support that they were to receive from Universal 
Service Administrative Company (USAC) over that year; (2) consolidating 
the access revenues that they examined to determine whether to charge 
the subscriber line charge (SLC) cap or the actual cost of their access 
lines; (3) if they choose to deaverage their SLC, adding up the 
components of their averaged traffic sensitive charges to test whether 
the charges have reached the target rate; and (4) calculating their SLC 
rates by Unbundled Network Element Zone. See 47 CFR 61.45-61.49. The 
Commission requires price cap LECs who choose not to follow the 
voluntary portions of the CALLS Proposal to submit cost support 
information, which the Commission would use to set their access rate 
levels.
