Commission) invites the general public and other federal agencies to 
take this opportunity to comment on the following information 
collection. Comments are requested concerning: Whether the 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;

Environments (MTEs).

    Total Annual Burden: 178,297 hours.

    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality with this collection of information.
    Needs and Uses: This information will facilitate efficient 
interaction between premises owners and local exchange carriers (LECs) 
regarding the placement of the demarcation point, which marks the end 
of wiring under control of the LEC and the beginning of wiring under 
the control of the premises owner or subscriber. The demarcation point 
is a critical point of interconnection where competitive LECs can gain 
access to the inside wiring of the building to provide service to 
customers in the building. This collection will also help ensure that 
customer-end antennas used for telecommunications service comply with 
the Commission's limits on radiofrequency exposure, and it will provide 
the Commission with information on the state of the market. In short, 
this information will be used to foster competition in local 
telecommunications markets by ensuring that competing 
telecommunications providers are able to provide services to customers 
in multiple tenant environments.
