SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB Control Number: 3060-0540. Title: Tariff Filing Requirements for Nondominant Common Carriers. Form Number: N/A. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit entities. Number of Respondents: 2,000. Estimated Time per Response: 10.5 hours (avg.). Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping; On occasion reporting requirements. Total Annual Burden: 21,000 hours. Total Annual Costs: $1,260,000. Needs and Uses: Domestic nondominant carriers must file tariffs pursuant to 4 USC Section 203; implementing regulations are found at 47 CFR Sections 61.20-61.23. The information collected pursuant to the nondominant tariff filing rules is used to comply with Section 203 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, which requires that carriers file schedules indicating the rates, terms, and conditions of their service offerings. The information collected pursuant to the tariff filing requirements is used by the Commission to determine whether the rates, terms, and conditions of service offered are just and reasonable as the Act requires. These tariff filing requirements enable the Commission and the public to ensure that the service offerings of communications common carriers comply with the requirements of the Act. OMB Control Number: 3060-0853. Title: Receipt of Service Confirmation Form--Universal Service for Schools and Libraries. Form Number: FCC Form 486. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit entities; Not-for- profit institutions. Number of Respondents: 30,000. Estimated Time per Response: 1.5 hours. Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping; On occasion reporting requirements. Total Annual Burden: 45,000 hours. Total Annual Costs: None. Needs and Uses: The Commission adopted rules providing support for all telecommunications services, Internet access, and internal connections for all eligible schools and libraries. To participate in the program, schools and libraries must confirm that they are actually receiving the services eligible for support. FCC Form 486, Receipt of Service Confirmation Form, is used by all billed entities who filed an FCC Form 471 on behalf of an eligible school, library, library consortium, or consortium of multiple entities, to inform the SCL when they begin receiving or have received service from the service provider. The FCC Form 486 is also used to confirm that technology plans of entities receiving universal service support pursuant to an SLC-approved funding commitment have been approved, indicating that the eligible entities applying for universal service support have a plan in place to utilize the services for which they have contracted, and to indicate the name of the authorized reviewing body, contact name, and contact telephone number. The FCC Form 486 is used to implement the Congressional mandate for universal service. Federal Communications Commission. Magalie Roman Salas, Secretary.
