47 CFR Part 61 is designed to ensure
that all tariff's filed by common carriers are formally sound, well
organized, and provide the Commission and the public with
sufficient information to determine that justness and
reasonableness as required by the Act, of the rates, terms and
conditions in those tariffs. The Federal Communication Commission
is seeking a non-substantive change request for information
collection 3060-0298. The Commission received pre-approval for the
information collection requirements that were contained in FCC
11-13 from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on April 19,
2011. The information collection requirements were adopted as
proposed in FCC 11-161 on October 27, 2011 (released on November
18, 2011). The Commission is simply activating the burdens and
costs for the collection that were previously pre-approved by OMB.
OMB's electronic system, ROCIS, would not allow the Commission to
activate the burden on its own. Therefore, this change request is
being submitted to OMB to final the collection and officially
active the burden and costs for the collection.

The Commission notes the
following revisions since the previous submission: (a) The number
of respondents has increased from 580 respondents to 630

revised rules that would require a one-time additional reporting
requirement by an estimated 50 respondents. (b) The number of
responses has increased from 1,160 responses to 1,210 responses, an
increase of 50 responses, to accommodate 50 respondents who would
have a one-time, additional reporting requirement pursuant to the
revisions to the rules. (c) The total burden hours has increased
from 58,000 hours to 63,000 hours, an increase of 5,000 hours, to
accommodate the additional reporting requirement pursuant to the
revisions to the rules. (d) The total annual O&M cost has
increased from $945,400 to $986,150, an increase of $40,750, due to
an increase in the number of responses pursuant to the revisions to
the rules.
