FCC Seeks Input on Common Carrier International Service Data Reporting

Comments will be due in 30 days on an FCC request to the Office of Management and Budget for approval of a change in the OMB reporting requirement that facilities-based international service providers submit and maintain a list of routes on which they have direct termination agreements with a foreign carrier, says Thursday's Federal Register. The commission said it's seeking input on whether collection of common carrier international telecommunications service information is necessary for FCC functions, and ways to reduce the data collection burden.
