Bell Operating Companies (BOCs) that petition for LATA boundary modifications to encourage the deployment of advanced service on a reasonable and timely basis are requested to include information in accordance with specified criteria. The Commission will use this information to review the petitions.
The Commission is submitting this information collection as an extension (no change in requirements) in order to obtain the full three year clearance from OMB. The Commission has adjusted the hourly burden due to less respondents filing information with the Commission (from 20 respondents to 1).

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.
