for the proper performance of the functions of the Commission,

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

[[Page 28319]]

    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Respondents are not being 
asked to submit confidential information to the Commission. If the 
Commission requests respondents to submit information which respondents 
believe are confidential, respondents may request confidential 
treatment of such information under 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission's 
rules.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission has developed standardized Tariff 
Review Plans (TRPs) that set forth the summary material that incumbent 
LECs (ILECs) file to support revisions to the rates in their interstate 
access service tariffs. The TRPs display basic data on rate development 
in a consistent manner, thereby facilitating review of the ILEC rate 
revisions by the Commission and interested parties. The TRPs have 
served this purpose effectively in past years.
    On April 20, 2017, the Commission adopted the Business Data 
Services Order, FCC 17-43, reforming the business data services/special 
access regulations for incumbent and competitive LECs by detariffing 
certain business data services and modifying the regulatory obligations 
for those business data services that will remain tariffed. 
Additionally, the Business Data Services Order adopted an X-factor of 
two percent and required price cap ILECs to make a one-time filing to 
revise their TRPs to implement the new X-factor to become effective on 
December 1, 2017. In particular, the Commission amended section 
61.45(b)(1)(iv) of its rules to state that the X-factor shall equal 2 
percent effective December 1, 2017. To ease the burden on industry, the 
only factor that changes in the revised TRPs is the X-factor. Base 
period demand and the value of GDP-PI will stay constant for this 
particular filing.
