Abstract: In CC Docket No. 96-187, the Commission adopted measures to streamline tariff filing requirements for local exchange carriers (LECs) pursuant to the Telecommunications Act of 1996. In order to achieve a streamlined and deregulatory enviroment for local exchange carrier tariff filings, incumbent local exchange carriers are required to file tariffs electronically. In WC Docket No. 10-141 (FCC 11-92), the Commission expanded the electronic filing requirement to all other carriers.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: This Commission has made the following adjustments to the previous submission to OMB: • We have adjusted the number of respondents from 1,500 to 1,307 due to changes in the telecommunications marketplace. The total number of annual responses has decreased from 1,500 to 1,307, and the total annual burden has decreased from 1,500 hours to 1,307 hours. • The filing fee for ETFS has increased from $910 to $925 but, due to the decrease in the number of respondents, that cost was offset. Therefore, there is a decrease in the total annual cost, from $1,387,500 to $1,208,975. • There are no program changes.
