The FCC is evaluating two potential mechanisms to establish new access rate regimes. While the final nature of the mechanisms have not been finalized, the FCC anticipates using some combination of a market-based and/or imposed rate structure, depending upon the nature of competition in the local services loop. The FCC has permission to collect the information needed to establish either mechanism. OMB strongly encourages the Commission to minimize the number of new filings that firms must create in order to be compliant with the rules adopted, particularly in the market-based approach, allowing firms to use many of the filings they must create in order to demonstrate that they meet the Telecommunications Act of 1996 requirements for provision of inter-LATA services within their operating regions.

In the NPRM in CC Docket No. 96-262, Access Charge Reform, the Commission proposes, in reforming its system of interstate access charges, to make its system compatible with the pro-competitive deregulatory framework established by the Telecommunications Act of 1996, in order that marketplace forces can eliminate the need for price regulation. The Commission proposes collections of information under one of two regulatory frameworks, or some combination thereof. The NPRM also contains a number of proposals that may require the filing of tariffs with the Commission.
