Abstract: The Commission adopted final rules governing the exchange of customer account information between local exchange carriers and interexchange carriers. The Commission concluded that mandatory minimum standards are needed in light of record evidence demonstrating that information needed by carriers to execute customer requests and properly bill customers is not being consistently provided by all local exchange carriers and by all interexchange carriers. In December 2007, the Commission declined to adopt mandatory LEC-to-LEC data exchange requirements.

Short Statement: The information collection is necessary to ensure the seamless provision of services and establishes carriers' responsibilities with respect to those exchanges. Due to the revised estimates of the number of LECs and IXCs operating in the United States, and to the Commission's re-evaluation of the percentage of those carriers which require more time to make the required notifications, the Commission now estimates: the total number of respondents to increase by +379, from 2,242 to 2,621 respondents, the total number of responses to increase by +81,562, from 492,906 to 574,468 responses, and the total annual burden hours to increase by +6,808, from 40,885 to 47,693 hours. There are no programs changes.
