As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or the 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 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 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 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number.
DATES:
Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before November 9, 2026. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice, you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.

Obligation to Respond:
Required to obtain or retain benefits. Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151-154, 201, 202, 251-254, 256 and 271 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
Needs and Uses:
The Commission adopted an Order on Reconsideration (FCC 00-297) revising its collocation rules to further strengthen them in response to a petition for partial reconsideration or clarification of the
Advanced Services First Report and Order
(FCC 99-48). This information collection is used by the Commission, 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. The number of respondents, annual responses, and annual burden hours have decreased due to a decrease in the current total number of active incumbent local exchange carriers who may have to respond to this information collection. This decrease in the number of respondents accounts for a concomitant reduction in both total annual responses and total annual burden hours. There are no program changes to this information collection.
