SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

OMB Approval No.: 3060-0370.
Title: Part 32--Uniform System of Accounts for Telecommunications
Companies.
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities.
Number of Respondents: 239 respondents.
Estimated Hour Per Response: 12,685 hours per recordkeeper/
response.
Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting and recordkeeping
requirement.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 3,031,838 hours.
Needs and Uses: The Uniform System of Accounts is a historical
financial accounting system which reports the results of operational
and financial events in a manner which enables both management and
regulators to assess these results within a specified accounting
period. Subject respondents are telecommunications companies. Entities
having annual revenues from regulated telecommunications operations of
less than $100 million are designated as Class B companies and are
subject to a less detailed accounting system than those designated as
Class A companies. Part 32 imposes essentially recordkeeping
requirements. The reporting requirements contained in the rulepart are
sporadic or initiated by the carriers. Part 32 has been revised. For
example, in CC Docket 96-60, the Commission raised the expense limit in
Section 32.20000(a)(4) from $500 to $2,000, with one exception related
to personal computers recorded in Account 2121, General purpose
computers.

Federal Communications Commission.
William F. Caton,
Acting Secretary.
