[Federal Register Volume 62, Number 210 (Thursday, October 30, 1997)] [Rules and Regulations] [Pages 58686-58687] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 97-28759] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION 47 CFR Part 64 [CC Docket 96-128; DA 97-2214] Pay Telephone Reclassification and Compensation Provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission. ACTION: Notice of partial waiver of regulations. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: On October 7, 1997, the Common Carrier Bureau granted, on its own motion, a limited waiver of five months, until March 9, 1998, to those local exchange carriers and payphone service providers that cannot provide payphone-specific digits as required by orders in this proceeding. This limited waiver applied to the requirement that local exchange carriers provide payphone-specific coding digits to payphone service providers, and that payphone service providers provide coding digits from their payphones before they can receive per-call compensation from interexchange carriers for subscriber 800 and access code calls, and 0+ and inmate calls (47 CFR 64.1300-64.1340). The limited waiver recognized that three parties had filed petitions for waiver of the payphone-specific coding digit requirements. This document seeks comment on those waiver requests. DATES: The partial waiver of 47 CFR 64.1300-64.1340 is effective October 7, 1997 until March 9, 1998. Comments are due on or before October 30, 1997, and reply comments are due on or before November 6, 1997. ADDRESSES: Federal Communications Commission, Room 222, 1919 M St., Washington, DC 20554.
