Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the 
Federal Communications Commission, Comments Requested

August 14, 2001.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden invites the general public 
and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the 
following information collection, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. An agency may not conduct or 
sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently 
valid control number. No person shall be subject to any penalty for 
failing to comply with a collection of information subject to the 
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that does not display a valid control 
number. Comments are requested concerning (a) whether the proposed 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
the functions of the Commission, including whether the information 
shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's 
burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 
of the information collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of 
the collection of information on the respondents, including the use of 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted on or before October 22, 
2001. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find 
it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice, 
you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all comments to Les Smith, Federal Communications 
Commission, 445 12th Street, SW., Room 1-A804, Washington, DC 20554 or 
via the Internet to lesmith@fcc.gov.

    Needs and Uses: In the CICs Order on Reconsideration (FCC 97-386), 
the Commission requires local exchange carriers (LECs) to offer a 
standard intercept message on or before June 30, 1998, and to 
coordinate with interexchange carriers (IXCs) in developing it. This 
requirement is needed to educate end users about their need to use 
seven-digit carrier access codes (CACs) to reach carriers instead of 
the previous five-digit access codes.

Federal Communications Commission.
