The information collection requirements contained in the Order on Reconsideration of the First Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking are approved with one exception. The FCC shall strike "telephone" from Section 76.970(e)(4) as a "reasonable means" of requesting leased access capacity information. Additionally, the third party collection requirements contained the FNPRM regarding use of an independent CPA to verify rate accuracy is approved, but the FCC needs to submit an ICW documenting projected hour and cost burden.
