SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork burdens, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), the FCC invited the general public and
other Federal Agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the
following information collection. Comments are requested concerning:
(a) 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; (b) the accuracy
of the Commission's burden estimates; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d) 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. Pursuant to the Small Business
Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, Public Law 107-198, see 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(4), the FCC seeks specific comment on how it might ``further
reduce the information collection burden for small business concerns
with fewer than 25 employees.''
OMB Control Number: 3060-0823.
Title: Part 64, Pay Telephone Reclassification.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents and Responses: 400 respondents; 16,820
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 2.66 hours (average).
Frequency of Response: On occasion, quarterly and monthly reporting
requirements and third party disclosure requirements.
Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47
U.S.C. 151, 154, 201-205, 218, 226 and 276.
Total Annual Burden: 44,700 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $768,000.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
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
[[Page 9518]]
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.
