    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for

identifiable information (PII) on individuals. The FCC maintains a 
system of records notice (SORN), FCC/WTB-1, ``Wireless Services 
Licensing Records,'' that covers the collection, purpose(s), storage, 
safeguards, and disposal of the PII that individual private land mobile 
radio licensees maintain under 47 CFR 90.129.
    Needs and Uses: This collection will be submitted as an extension 
(no change in reporting requirements) after this 60 day comment period 
to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in order to obtain the full 
three year clearance.
    Section 90.129 requires that applicants proposing to use 
transmitting equipment that is not type-certified by FCC laboratory 
personnel to provide a description of the proposed equipment. This 
assures that the equipment is capable of performing within certain 
tolerances that limit the interference potential of the device.
    Additionally, this rule section requires that each application 
under this part that is received by the Commission, through the 
application process outlined in 47 CFR part 1, subpart F, must be 
accompanied by the applicable supplementary information described in 
the paragraphs in 47 CFR 90.129. The information is used by FCC 
engineers to determine the interference potential of the proposed 
equipment.
    OMB Control No.: 3060-0770.
    Title: Sections 61.49 and 69.4, Price Cap Performance Review for 
Local Exchange Carriers, FCC 99-206 (New Services).

    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality. The Commission is not requesting that the respondents 
submit confidential information to the FCC. However, respondents who 
wish to request confidential treatment of the information they believe 
to be confidential, may do so under 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission's 
rules.
    Needs and Uses: This collection will be submitted as an extension 
(no change in reporting requirements) after this 60 day comment period 
to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in order to obtain the full 
three year clearance.
    In the Fifth Report and Order in FCC 99-206, the Commission 
permitted price cap local exchange carriers (LECs) to introduce new 
services on a streamlined basis, without prior approval. The Commission 
adopted rules to eliminate the public interest showing required by 
section 69.4(g) and eliminated the new services test (except in the 
case of loop-based new services) required under sections 69.49(f) and 
(g). These modifications eliminated delays that existed for the 
introduction of new services as well as encouraging efficient 
investment and innovation.
    The information is used by the Commission to determine whether this 
is in the public interest for the incumbent LEC to offer a proposed new 
switched access service.

    Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
