Abstract: Part 69 of the Commission's rules establishes the rules for access charges for iterstate or foreign access provided by telephone companies. Local telephone companies and states are required to submit information to the Commission and/or the National Exchange Carrier Association (NECA). The information is used to compute charges in tariffs for access service (or origination and termination) and to computer revenue pool distributions.

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The Commission is revising this collection because it has eliminated four rule sections (47 CFR 69.116(c), 69.117(c), 69.104(k)(1), and 69.104(1). These rule sections were eliminated because they were one-time, semi-annual requirements, or the requirement is no longer in effect. The only remaining rule section with PRA requirements in this information collection is 47 CFR 69.605. The Commission is reporting a +16,452 hour increase which is offset because of a significant increase in the number of respondents/responses.
