The service quality measurement plan for interstate special access would require the respondents to report special access performance metrics on a quarterly basis. Because, pursuant to Section 272(f)(1) Sunset of the BOC Separate Affiliate and Related Requirements; 2000 Biennial Regulatory Review Separate Affiliate Requirements of Section 64.1903 of the CommissionÂs Rules; Petition of AT&T Inc. for Forbearance Under 47 U.S.C. § 160(c) with Regard to Certain Dominant Carrier Regulations for In-Region, Interexchange Services, WC Docket Nos. 02-112, 06-120, CC Docket No. 00-175, Report and Order and Memorandum Opinion and Order, 22 FCC Rcd 16440 (2007) (Section 272 Sunset Order), the respondents are no longer required to comply with the section 272 structural safeguards, the special access performance metrics reporting requirements will ensure that these carriers do not engage in non-price discrimination in the provision of special access services to unaffiliated entities and will provide the FCC and other interested parties with reasonable tools to monitor these carriers performance in providing these special access services to themselves and their competitors. The monthly usage reporting requirement would require the respondents to provide each of their residential customers who subscribe to a call plan that establishes a single rate for unlimited wireline local exchange and long distance telecommunications service with the total number of long distance telecommunications service minutes used by that customer each month. This monthly usage reporting requirement will help ensure that, as a result of the relief granted in the Section 272 Sunset Order residential interstate long distance consumers receive adequate information regarding their monthly usage in order to make informed choices among alternative long distance calling plans.

The Commission is revising this collection because the monthly usage reporting requirements have expired, pursuant to the terms of section 272 Sunset Order and therefore, only the special acess performance metrics will be extended and continued OMB approval is sought. The Commission requires the Bell Operating Companies (BOCs) AT&T, Quest and Verizon, and their independent incumbent local exchang carrier (LEC) affiliates, to report special access performance metrics on a quarterly basis. The number of responses has reduced by 36; and the total annual burden has been reduced by 2,700 total annual hours.
