Short Statement:
On Oct. 7, 2011, the Commission adopted FCC 11-161, Report and Order, which adopted rule changes eliminating the requirement for price-cap regulated carriers and competitive carriers to file cost or loop count data. Specifically, the revisions to this information collection are being removed from this submission because the Commission rules in 47 CFR sections 36.601 and 54.307 no longer require price-cap regulated carriers and competitive carriers to submit this data.
