Review Under Regulatory Flexibility
Act and Executive Order 12866
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act,
EPA is required to prepare a Regulatory
Flexibility Analysis for all rules that
may have a significant impact on a
substantial number of entities. The
proposed approval of the South Carolina
Sewage Sludge Permitting Program does
not alter the regulatory control over any
industrial category. No new substantive
requirements are established by this
action. Therefore, I hereby certify that
because this notice does not have a
significant impact on a substantial
number of small entities, a Regulatory
Flexibility Analysis is not needed.
It has been determined that this rule
is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’
under the terms of Executive Order
12866 and is therefore not subject to the
Office of Management and Budget’s
review.
Dated: July 2, 1997.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS
COMMISSION
Notice of Public Information
Collection(s) Submitted to OMB for
Review and Approval
July 7, 1997.
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(s), 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 August 11, 1997.
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 Judy
Boley, Federal Communications
Commission, Room 234, 1919 M St.,
N.W., Washington, DC 20554 or via
internet to jboley@fcc.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
additional information or copies of the
information collection(s) contact Judy
Boley at 202–418–0214 or via internet at
jboley@fcc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Approval Number: 3060–0577.
Title: Expanded Interconnection with
Local Telephone Company Facilities.
Type of Review: Reinstatement
without change of a previously
approved collection for which approval
has expired.
Respondents: Business or other for-
profit.
Number of Respondents: 16.
Estimated Time Per Response: 15
hours.
Cost to Respondents: $10,000. This
estimate assumes that the respondent
would use mid to senior level personnel
to comply with the requirements in pay
to the Federal government, thus $35.00
per hour. For example, 16 respondents
x 15 hours per response; = $8,400.
Total Annual Burden: 240 hours.
Needs and Uses: Local exchange
carriers (LECs) are required to make
tariff filings (1) to provide public notice
of ‘‘fresh look’’ opportunity at their
offices and (2) to comply with new
Commission standards governing
nonrecurring reconfiguration charges,
expanded interconnection connection
charge rate structure and fresh look.
OMB Approval Number: 3060–0292.
Title: Part 69, Access Charges.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-
profit.
Number of Respondents: 1,458.
Estimated Time Per Response: 5.8
hours (avg.).
Cost to Respondents: N/A.
Total Annual Burden: 33,825 hours.
Needs and Uses: Part 69 of the
Commission’s rules and regulations
establishes the rules for access charges
for interstate or foreign access provided
by telephone companies on or after
January 1, 1984. Part 69 essentially
consists of rules or the procedures for
the computation of access charges
which are not information collections as
defined by 5 CFR part 1320. Any
reporting or disclosure occurs in
connection with particular tariff filings
and other reporting requirements with
the FCC or other state commissions or
with records maintained in accordance
to the Uniform Systems of Accounts
(USOA). Sections 69.116(c) and
69.117(c) require the semi-annual
submission of data by the local
exchange carriers to NECA. Requiring
this data collection less frequently
would undermine the effectiveness of
the programs. States of telephone
companies filing their plans for
Commission certification will be
required to do so only once. Section
69.606 is a monthly requirement;
however, carriers must supply the data
to NECA for billing purposes. The
information is used to compute charges
in tariffs for access service (or
origination and termination) and to
compute revenue pool distributions.
Neither process could be implemented
without the information.

independent audits, assessments of the
effectiveness of internal controls and
compliance with designated laws and
regulations and more stringent reporting
requirements. This collection of
information, currently approved by
OMB through September 30, 1998,
would be modified to delete a
requirement that respondents comply
with Schedule A to Appendix A of Part
363, ‘‘Agreed Upon Procedures for
Determining Compliance with

invited on: (a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the FDIC’s functions,

validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the

information collection on respondents,
including through the use of automated

received will be analyzed to determine
the extent to which the collection
should be modified prior to submission
to OMB for review and approval.
Comments submitted in response to this
notice also will be summarized or
included in the FDIC’s requests to OMB
for renewal of this collection. All
comments will become a matter of
public record.
