Abstract
In this document, the Commission announces that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has approved, for a period of three years, an information collection associated with the Commission's Business Data Services Report and Order, FCC 17-43, which, among other things, required that by August 1, 2020, price cap incumbent LECs must remove all business data services that are no longer subject to price cap regulation from their interstate tariffs. The Order also required that, by the same deadline, competitive LECs must remove all business data services from their interstate tariffs. This document is consistent with the Order, which stated that the Commission would publish a document in the Federal Register announcing the effective date of these rules.
