OMB Number: 3060-0149 Title: Part 63 - Section 214 Application and Supplemental Information Requirements (Sections 63.01- 63.601) Form No.: N/A Action: Extension of a currently approved collection. Respondents: Business or other for-profit Frequency of Response: on occasion Estimated Annual Burden: 510 annual responses; 13.37 hours burden per response; 6,280 hours total annual burden. Needs and Uses: Section 214 requires that the FCC review the establishment, lease, operations, and extension of channels of communications by interstate common carriers. These carriers earn a rate of return based on their plant and facilities investments. The more they invest in plant and facilities the greater their revenue requirement. Thus, one of the marjor reasons Section 214 was enacted was to ensure against unnecessary duplication of plant and facilities. The other reason for Section 214 was to regulate which entities should be allowed to provide common carrier services and which services should be allowed to be terminated. The information in applications by dominate carriers is used by the Commission to determine if the facilities are needed. The information in the semi-annual reports of the non-dominant carriers is used to monitor the growth of the networks and the availability of common carrier services in this segment of the telecommunications market.
