FCC Form 492 is filed by each local
exchange carrier (LEC) or group of carriers who file individual
access tariffs or who are not subject to Sections 61.41 through
61.49 of the Commission's rules. Each LEC or group of affiliated
carriers subject to the previously stated sections file FCC Form
492A. Both forms are filed annually. The reports contain
rate-of-return information and are needed to enable the Commission
to fulfill its regulatory responsibilities.
The Commission is reporting a
248 hour burden reduction which is due to 31 fewer respondents
filed by local exchange carriers.
