subscribers who request not to receive further telephone calls 
(company-specific ``do-not-call'' lists). Moreover, telephone 
solicitors must have a written policy for maintaining do-not-call

to the public or transient users) must post in writing, on or near such 
phones, information about presubscribed operator services, rates, 
carrier access, and the FCC address to which consumers may direct 
complaints. Section 64.703(c) establishes a 30-day outer limit for

the presubscribed operator service provider. Consumers can use this 
information to determine whether they wish to use the services of the 
identified operator service provider.

required that LECs file tariffs to reflect FLEX ANI as a nonchargeable 
option to IXCs; required that LECs file tariffs to recover costs 
associated with implementing FLEX ANI; required that LEC provide IXCs 
information on payphones that provide payphone-specific coding digits 
for smart and dumb payphones; required that LECs provide IXCs and PSPs 
information on where FLEX ANI is available now and when it is to be 
scheduled in the future; and granted permission and certain waivers.

industry implement section 276 of the Communications Act of 1934, as
