DATES: Written comments should be submitted on or before May 3, 2005. 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 Judith Boley Herman, Federal Communications Commission, Room 1-C804 or Room 1-A804, 445 12th Street, SW., Washington, DC 20554 or via the Internet to *jboley@fcc.gov.* FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information or copies of the information collection(s), contact Judith Boley Herman at 202-418-0214 or via the Internet at *jboley@fcc.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: *OMB Control No.:* 3060-0149. *Title:* Application and Supplemental Information Requirements—Part 63, Section 214, Sections 63.01-63.601. *Form No.:* N/A. *Type of Review:* Extension of a currently approved collection. *Respondents:* Business or other for-profit. *Number of Respondents:* 35. *Estimated Time per Response:* 5 hours. *Frequency of Response:* Third party disclosure requirement and on occasion reporting requirement. *Total Annual Burden:* 175 hours. *Total Annual Cost:* N/A. *Privacy Act Impact Assessment:* N/A. *Needs and Uses:* Section 214 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, requires that the FCC review the establishment, acquisition, operation, line extension, and service discontinuance by interstate common carriers. Since 1999, however, the Commission has only regulated the acquisition and discontinuance of telecommunications services. This OMB collection pertains primarily to section 63.71 of the Commission's rules, which governs the application process for receiving discontinuance, impairment or reduction in service authority. *OMB Control No.:* 3060-0997. *Title:* 47 CFR Section 52.15(k), Numbering Utilization and Compliance Audit Program. *Form No.:* N/A. *Type of Review:* Extension of a currently approved collection. *Respondents:* Business or other for-profit. *Number of Respondents:* 25. *Estimated Time per Response:* 33 hours. *Frequency of Response:* Third party disclosure requirement and on occasion reporting requirement. *Total Annual Burden:* 825 hours. *Total Annual Cost:* N/A. *Privacy Act Impact Assessment:* N/A. *Needs and Uses:* The audit program, consisting of audit procedures and guidelines, is developed to conduct random audits. The random audits are conducted on the carriers that use numbering resources in order to verify the accuracy of numbering data reported on FCC Form 502, and to monitor compliance with FCC rules, orders and applicable industry guidelines. Failure of the audited carrier to respond to the audits can result in penalties. Based on the final audit report, evidence of potential violations may result in enforcement action.
