Abstract
As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or the Commission) invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the following information collection. Comments are requested concerning: whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the information shall have practical utility; the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on the respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and ways to further reduce the information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees. The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid control number. No person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information subject to the PRA that does not display a valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number.

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens,
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC or the Commission) invites the
general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to
comment on the following information collection. Comments are requested
concerning: whether the proposed collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the functions of the Commission,
including whether the information shall have practical utility; the
accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on the
respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology; and ways to further reduce the
information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer
than 25 employees.
The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid control number. No person shall be
subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of
information subject to the PRA that does not display a valid Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) control number.
DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before February
6, 2023. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but
find it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this
notice, you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Confidentiality concerns are
not relevant to these types of disclosures. The Commission is not
requesting carriers or providers to submit confidential information to
the Commission. If the Commission requests that carriers or providers
submit information which they believe is confidential, the carriers or
providers may request confidential treatment of their information under
47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission's rules.
Needs and Uses: The Commission established a plan to ensure that
payphone service providers (PSPs) were compensated for certain non-coin
calls originated from their payphones. As part of this plan, the
Commission required that by October 7, 1997, local exchange carriers
were to provide payphone-specific coding digits to PSPs, and that PSPs
were to provide those digits from their payphones to interexchange
carriers. The provision of payphone-specific coding digits was a
prerequisite to payphone per-call compensation payments by IXCs to PSPs
for subscriber 800 and access code calls. The Commission's Wireline
Competition Bureau subsequently provided a waiver until March 9, 1998,
for those payphones for which the necessary coding digits were not
provided to identify calls. The Bureau also on that date clarified the
requirements established in the Payphone Orders for the provision of
payphone-specific coding digits and for tariffs that LECs must file
pursuant to the Payphone Orders.
