common carriers are requested to voluntarily submit data relating
to the extent of their use of geocode data to locate customers. The
Commission will use the information collected in the data request

forward-looking economic costs that non-rural carriers will incur
to provide universal service in rural areas.

the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:

(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
