The Commission requires all incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECs) to file shapfile maps of their service territories in a state (study area). State commissions can also submit these data voluntarily for ILECs in their state. Shapefiles are a commonly used, digitized, geographic information system (GIS) format. Accurate and accessible maps are essential to the legitmate distribution of universal service support to rural, high cost carriers. After the shapefiles are uploaded into a web interface provided by the Commission, each ILEC (or state) must certify the accuracy of its study area maps. Filers must also submit updated shapefile maps if their study area boundaries change, and must recertify the accuracy of the map every two years.

The Commission is reporting adjustments/decreases to this information collection. Since the last submission to OMB, the total number of respondents and responses decreased to 10 from 747 (-737), the total annual burden hours have remained the same at 171, and, the total annual costs decrease to $3,895 from $3,977 (-$82). These adjustments are to correct the computation of salary cost per hour and lowering burden hours. The remaining annual costs associated with this information collection will be incurred by the small number of ILECs that have study area boundary changes and hire contractors to modify their study area boundary GIS data. All ILECs are required to recertify their study area boundaries every two years, but we have determined that this task to be a normal business activity and of negligible burden. There are no program changes.
