The information
collection requirements contained in the Order on Reconsideration
of the First Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking are approved with one exception. The FCC shall strike
"telephone" from Section 76.970(e)(4) as a "reasonable means" of
requesting leased access capacity information. Additionally, the
third party collection requirements contained the FNPRM regarding
use of an independent CPA to verify rate accuracy is approved, but
the FCC needs to submit an ICW documenting projected hour and cost
burden.
