The Commission applied
previously-adopted rules to wireless carriers. Such rules are
designed to make consumers' telecommunications bills easier to read
and understand, and were adopted in response to consumers'
difficulties in understanding their bills, detecting fraud,
resolving billing disputes, and comparing carrier rates to get the
best value for themselves.

The Commission has re-evaluated
the assessment of the burdens for this information collection and
determined there has been: a decrease in the number of annual
respondents of -1,104 respondents, from 5,588 respondents to 4,484
respondents; a decrease in the annual number of responses of -7,728
responses, from 41,858 responses to 34,130 responses; and a
decrease in annual hours of -603,888 hours, from 3,872,876 hours to
3,268,988 hours. With this submission, the Commission really
examined and evaluated the numbers that were accounted for in this
supporting statement. Therefore, the Commission used more concrete
and précised numbers based on the Commission's September 2010
Trends in Telephone Report. The decrease in the annual burden hours
is due to the decrease in the number of annual respondents to this
information collection.
