SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control No.: 3060-0972.
OMB Approval date: 11/29/2004.

Title: Multi-Association Group (MAG) Plan for Regulation of Interstate Services of Non-Price Cap Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers and Interexchange Carriers.
Form No.: FCC Forms 507, 508 509.
Estimated Annual Burden: 5,200 responses; 31,607 total annual burden hours; approximately 1-6 hours average per respondent.
Needs and Uses: The Commission took additional steps to provide rate-of-return carriers greater flexibility to respond to changing marketplace conditions. The Commission revised its access and universal service rules by (1) modifying the "all-or-nothing" rule to permit rate-of-return carriers to bring recently acquired price cap lines back to rate-of-return regulation; (2) granting rate-of-return carriers the authority immediately to provide geographically deaveraged transport and special access rates, subject to certain limitations; and (3) merging Long Term Support with Interstate Common Line Support.
OMB Control No.: 3060-0774.
OMB Approval date: 12/20/2004.
Expiration Date: 12/31/2007.
Title: Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service, CC Docket No. 96-45 (47 CFR Part 54).
Form No.: N/A.
Estimated Annual Burden: 6,311,546 responses; 1,876,790 total annual burden hours; 20 minutes average response time per respondent.
Needs and Uses: Congress directed the Commission to implement a new set of universal service support mechanisms that are explicitly and sufficient to advance the universals service principles enumerated in 47 U.S.C. Section 254 and other such principles as the Commission believes are necessary and appropriate for the protection of the public interest, convenience and necessity, and are consistent with the Act. Part 54 promulgates the rules and requirements to preserve and advance universal service; the collections are necessary to implement Sec. 254.
OMB Control No.: 3060-0992.
OMB Approval date: 1/14//2005.
Expiration Date: 1/31/2008.
Title: CC Docket No. 96-45 (FCC 01-195) and 47 CFR Section 54.507 (d)(1)-(4).
Form No.: N/A.
Estimated Annual Burden: 850 responses; 850 total annual burden hours; 1 hour per respondent.
Needs and Uses: Section 54.507 (d) provides addititonal time for recipients under the schools and libraries universal service support mechanism to implement contracts or agreements with service providers for non-recurring services. Section 54.507(d) extends the deadline for the implementation of non-recurring sevices for certain qualified applicants who are unable to complete implementation by the September 30 deadline.

OMB Control No.: 3060-0513.
OMB Approval date: 2/10/2005.
Expiration Date: 2/29/2008.
Title: ARMIS Joint Cost Report.
