Abstract:
Section 214 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, requires that the FCC review 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 domestic telecommunications services. The OMB collection pertains primarily to Section 63.71 of the Commission's rules, which governs the authorization process for domestic discontinuance, impairment or reduction in service.
