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.

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.
