Terms of Clearance: As this is an FCC rulemaking of great interest to industry, OMB expects that several revisions will occur prior to issuance of the final Report and Order. OMB strongly encourages the FCC to use, to the greatist extent possible, existing reporting, cost separation, and accounting mechanisms to address the requirements established in Sections 260 and 271 through 276 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. The FCC should also try to, where possible, establish industry and market conditions that, once met, would allow certain provisions of this collection to be eliminated or mitigated.
