Federal Communications Commission

OMB Control No.: 3060-0885.
Expiration Date: 08/31/1999.
Title: Telephone Number Portability, CC Docket No. 95-116, Third Report 
and Order (Local Number Portability Worksheet and Recordkeeping 
Requirement).
Form No.: FCC Form 487.
Respondents: Business or other for profit.
Estimated Annual Burden: 4,400 respondents; 1.74 hours per response 
(avg.); 7,675 total annual burden hours.
Estimated Annual Reporting and Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $2,257,000.
Frequency of Response: On occasion; annually.
Description: In the Third Report and Order issued in CC Docket No. 95-
116, the Commission implements, for long-term number portability costs, 
the statutory requirement that all telecommunications carriers bear the 
costs of number portability on a competitively neutral basis, as set 
forth in Section 251(e)(2) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. The 
Third Report and Order requires telecommunications carriers to provide 
the information about their international and regional end-user 
telecommunications revenues that will enable the regional database 
administrator to allocate the costs of the number portability regional 
databases in a competitively neutral manner. See 47 CFR Sections 52.32 
and 52.33 FCC Form 487, LNP Worksheet is designed to capture this 
information. FCC Form 487 will be distributed by Lockheed Martin IMS. 
Forms are to be filed by April 16, 1999. Call 877-245-5277 if you are 
required to file FCC Form 487 and need a copy of the form or additional 
information. (No. of respondents: 3000; hour per response: .50 per 
respondent contracting out for the preparation of the form and 5 hours 
for other respondents; total annual burden: 4875 hours). The Third 
Report and Order requires incumbent local exchange carriers (LECs) to 
maintain records that detail both the nature and specific amount of 
these carrier-specific costs that are directly related to number 
portability, and those carrier-specific costs that are not directly 
related to number portability. (No. of respondents: 1400; hours per 
response: 2 hours; total annual burden: 2800 hours). Lockheed Martin 
IMS will be collecting the information on all telecommunications 
carriers' regional and international end-user telecommunications 
revenues to determine each carrier's contribution to the cost of the 
regional number portability databases. As the administrator, Lockheed 
Martin must collect sufficient revenues to fund the initial building 
and ongoing operations of the regional databases.

Obligation to respond: Mandatory.
    Public reporting burden for the collections of information is as 
noted above. Send comments regarding the burden estimate or any other 
aspect of the collections of information, including suggestions for 
reducing the burden to
