1998 Biennial Regulatory ReviewStreamlined Contributor Reporting Requirements

On September 25, 1998, the Federal Communications Commission released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) that proposed to consolidate four Commission reporting requirements so that carriers need only file one worksheet to satisfy the reporting requirements associated with: the universal service support mechanisms; the telecommunications relay services support mechanism; the cost recovery mechanism for numbering administration; and the cost recovery mechanism for shared costs of long-term local number portability. Part of the Commission's 1998 biennial regulatory review, the item proposes limited changes to the Commission's rules to facilitate the introduction of a unified worksheet. The NPRM contains proposed or modified information collections subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA). It has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review under the PRA. OMB, the general public, and other Federal agencies are invited to comment on the proposed or modified information collections contained in this proceeding.
