OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 09/24/1996
	Date Received in OIRA: 07/26/1996
Terms of Clearance: This is an FCC rulemaking that has been the subject of much interest by both the local exchange carriers and the interexchange carriers. Their comments reflect their respective positions. OMB expects that this collection will be revised at least once to reflect FCC Reports and Orders. OMB strongly encourages the Commission to use, wherever possible, existing complaint processes, reporting mechanisms, and other alternatives to new information collections. The FCC should also ensure that new reporting requirements are not needed given certain features of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, such as the Biennial Audit requirements. The FCC should also try to determine conditions where these new (and existing) reporting requirements can be deleted or mitigated given the emergeance of competition in either the industry or the local marketplace. The FCC shall provide updated burden information as it refines these rules.
