In the attached Report and Order, the
Commission no longer requires BOCs to file their CEI plans with the
Commission and to obtain pre-approval of CEI plans and amendments
before initiating or altering an IntraLATA information service.
Instead, BOCs are required to post their CEI plans and amendments
on their publicly accessible Internet sites. The Commission also
extended the disclosure requirements in 47 CFR section 51.325(a) to
require ILECs to provide public notice of networks changes that
will affect the manner in which CPE is attached to the
network.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
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:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(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;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
