FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 64

[CC Docket No. 96-128; FCC 02-292]


Implementation of the Pay Telephone Reclassification and 
Compensation Provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In this document, the Commission implemented certain aspects 
of per-payphone compensation pursuant to a 1997 remand by the U.S. 
Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. To implement the 
remand, the Commission established a new default compensation amount 
per payphone per month for access code and subscriber toll-free calls, 
allocated this monthly amount among the designated payors of per-
payphone compensation, resolved some compensation offset issues, 
determined issues regarding the valuation of payphone assets 
transferred by local exchange carriers to a separate affiliate or 
division, and resolved a number of issues raised in petitions for 
reconsideration.

DATES: Effective January 2, 2003.

Synopsis of Fifth Order on Reconsideration and Order on Remand

    1. Instead of revising its approach to estimating monthly call 
volumes at the average payphone, the Commission retained the estimate 
of 148 monthly compensable calls as determined in the Fourth 
Reconsideration Order, 67 FR 9610, March 4, 2002. In this regard, the 
Commission explicitly rejected the reconsideration arguments of: (1) 
Sprint and WorldCom that per-payphone compensation should be based on 
the 131 monthly compensable calls estimated by the Commission in 1996, 
(2) Sprint that the underlying call volumes were unreliable, (3) 
WorldCom that the Commission should reduce the monthly estimate by a 
set factor each year after the Interim Period, and (4) Sprint that the 
Commission should use a weighted averaged, instead of a straight 
average as used in the Fourth Reconsideration Order.
    2. The Commission's calculation of a per-call compensation rate in 
the Third Report and Order, 64 FR 13701, March 22, 1999, included a 
component of $0.009 to reflect an assumed average delay in the 
rendering of payphone compensation according to the quarterly system 
established by industry consensus and endorsed by the Commission in the 
First Report and Order, 61 FR 52307, October 7, 1996. APCC requested 
that the Commission reconsider its deduction in the Fourth 
Reconsideration Order of this $0.009 from the per-call compensation 
rate. The Commission in this Order granted APCC's request and 
reinstated this $0.009 component for the purpose of calculating per-
payphone compensation. Granting APCC's reconsideration petition on this 
issue effectively mooted Sprint's request for clarification that the 
22.9 cent rate adopted in the Fourth Reconsideration Order be applied 
to all true-ups for the Intermediate Period, whether a carrier paid on 
a per-payphone or per-call basis. It also mooted WorldCom's request to 
clarify that the rate of 22.9 cents applies to payments for payphones 
that do not transmit payphone-specific coding digits, even if the 
carrier has compensated on a per-call, rather than per-payphone basis, 
for those payphones. The same 23.8 cent rate that applied to per-call 
compensation during the Intermediate Period applies to determine per-
payphone compensation.
    3. The Colorado Payphone Association (CPA) asked the Commission to 
reconsider the 24-cent compensation rate established in the Third 
Report and Order arguing that the Commission inappropriately used a 
``stripped down'' coinless phone model for the purpose of calculating 
payphone capital costs, inappropriately used 11.25% as the interest 
rate, and

[[Page 71862]]

incorrectly calculated maintenance costs. The Commission denied CPA's 
reconsideration petition with respect to each of these factors.
    4. The Commission denied the RBOC Coalition's reconsideration 
petition request to add some amount of additional compensation to the 
per-payphone compensation required in this Order as compensation for 1+ 
calls originated during the Interim Period for which the payphone 
service providers (PSPs) were not otherwise compensated. The definition 
provided of a 1+ call was an interLATA toll call originating at a 
payphone and carried by an interexchange carrier (IXC), where the IXC's 
operator or its automated rating system directs that calling party to 
deposit coins for the call.
    5. After considering reconsideration requests regarding the per-
payphone compensation calculation, the Commission recalculated a per-
payphone compensation amount based on a per-call rate of $0.238 cents. 
The per-call rate of $0.238 multiplied by the call estimate of 148 
calls per month equals a compensation amount of $35.224 per payphone 
per month for the Interim Period (November 7, 1996, through October 6, 
1997) and the Intermediate Period (October 7, 1997, through April 20, 
1999). The compensation obligations as shown at Appendices A, B and C 
are calculated using this increased amount.
    6. After determining the amount of compensation to be paid per 
payphone per month, the Commission next allocated this monthly payphone 
compensation obligation among the payors of per-payphone compensation, 
to implement the remand by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District 
of Columbia Circuit in Illinois Pub. Telecomm. Ass'n v. FCC, 117 F.3d 
555 (D.C. Cir. 1997), clarified on reh'g, 123 F.3d 693 (D.C. Cir. 
1997), cert. denied sub nom. Virginia State Corp. Comm'n v. FCC, 523 
U.S. 1046 (1998) (hereinafter Illinois). See Remand Public Notice, 62 
FR 43686, August 15, 1997. During the first four months of 2002, the 
four Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs) provided the Wireline 
Competition Bureau with aggregate call data listing the next 
destination past the RBOC switch of payphone calls placed during 1997, 
1998, and October 1, 2000, through September 30, 2001. From that data 
set, the Commission aggregated the numbers to determine the total 
number of payphone calls received by each carrier in each of the three 
time periods, as well as the total number of calls placed in the time 
period. From there, each carrier's share of the total was calculated, 
and thus the proportion of the monthly $35.224 per-payphone 
compensation that each identified carrier should rightfully bear.
    7. Once the basic aggregation was completed, the Commission 
adjusted the data in various ways in order to obtain a reasonable 
allocation. For example, the Commission excluded unusable data from the 
final data set, such as, calls routed to destinations not identified in 
the RBOC data. Another exclusion concerned some RBOC data submitted for 
payphone calls routed to destinations that were not IXCs or other 
carriers, including entities with dedicated private line service 
assigned a carrier identification code (CIC), a four digit number that 
uniquely identifies the destination of the call, even though they are 
not ``communications carriers.'' The Commission also excused 
governmental entities, such as, the Internal Revenue Service, and 
various state governments, that were in the RBOC data. Because such 
non-carrier entities had no notice that they could be responsible for 
payphone compensation, the Commission decided not to hold them liable 
and removed those calls from the data set. The non-carrier CIC holders 
eliminated from consideration are: AmVox, Arco Paypoint, Arthur 
Anderson & Co., Buypass Corp., California State Lottery, Cam-Net, Card 
Establishment, Compuserve, Contact America, Dean Witter, Department of 
Treasury (IRS), Discover & Co., EDS, Envoy Corporation, ETSC, First 
USA, Full Service Computing, Harmonic Systems, HUB Distributing, Idaho 
State Government, JC Penney Business Services, Landmark Communications, 
Legal Aid Society of Orange County, MAG Card, MasterCard International, 
MCSC Access in Canada, Merchant Link, Mobile Oil Credit Corp., Morgan 
Stanley, National Data Corp., Nexus Communications, Paradise 
Communications, PaymentTech, Professional Fusion Enterprises, PSA, 
Inc., Public Service Company of New Mexico and Gas Company of New 
Mexico, Resource Technology, Southeast Switch, State of California, 
Stone & Co., Telemoney Services, Transaction Network Services, United 
Refining, Vacation Villages of America, Visa USA, Vital Processing 
Services, VoiceCom Systems, VTA, Inc., and Weeks Communications.
    8. The Commission may not have identified all of them; thus, some 
entities in the Tables of Allocations in Appendices A, B, or C may not 
in fact be carriers. The Commission made the following provision for 
entities that are not ``communications carriers'' and thus not 
responsible for per-payphone compensation. Any entity named in the 
Commission's allocation in this Order that then receives a request for 
per-payphone compensation from a PSP or other entity may, within 90 
days of receiving such a request, file a waiver request with the 
Wireline Competition Bureau for exclusion from the per-payphone 
allocation, with a demonstration that the entity provides no 
communications service to others.
    9. In the First Report and Order, the Commission decided that local 
exchange carriers (LECs) must pay payphone compensation to the extent 
that they carry compensable payphone calls. The Commission in this 
Order allocated to both RBOC and non-RBOC incumbent LECs 2.19% of the 
calls originating from payphones within their own service territories 
because it reflects the fact that an incumbent LEC does receive and 
carry compensable payphone calls originated within its territory. This 
percentage and the appropriate compensation amount were listed in 
Appendices A, B and C. Rather than making each incumbent LEC remit 
payment to each PSP in the nation the Commission required each 
incumbent LEC to remit the 2.19% payment to PSPs for each payphone 
located in its service territory, even if the PSP had/has its payphones 
connected to a competitive LEC.
    10. After an examination of the RBOC data showed that the RBOCs 
themselves sometimes behaved as IXCs, the Commission concluded that 
incumbent LECs owe compensation for calls where the incumbent LEC 
performed the function of an IXC. This compensation obligation was 
allocated in a manner consistent with other payors of per-payphone 
compensation. The Allocation Tables reflect compensable payphone calls 
routed to identified incumbent LECs acting in an IXC capacity, and 
specify the amount of per-payphone compensation to be paid by that 
incumbent LEC to all PSPs nationwide.
    11. In Appendices A, B and C, the Commission identified payors 
obligated to pay per-payphone compensation by the names of payors and 
CICs provided by the RBOCs in the payphone call data. The Commission 
explained in this Order that given consolidation and change in the 
telecommunications industry over the last several years, the payor 
names may fail to accurately identify current per-payphone obligations 
imposed by this Order. Any failure on the Commission's part in the name 
identification in Appendices A, B and C does not excuse full payment by 
any entity of its compensation obligation. According to the Commission, 
the per-payphone

[[Page 71863]]

obligation must be paid by each listed entity, or by its successors in 
interest, assigns, transferees or their entity legally responsible for 
the listed entity's obligations under this Order.
    12. The Commission noted, moreover, that this name identification 
was provided for the convenience of carriers and PSPs alike, and was 
not intended to impose a modification to otherwise appropriate 
intracorporate relationships. If an entity listed in Appendices A, B or 
C has provided for payment of its payphone compensation allocations 
through separate subsidiaries or otherwise, it may, absent some other 
resolution agreeable to the PSPs to which it owes payment, ask for 
clarification from the Wireline Competition Bureau, which will promptly 
provide the appropriate attribution of allocation amounts among 
subsidiaries or other entities, or otherwise provide clarification of 
the per-payphone compensation obligation required by this Order. An 
entity listed in Appendices A, B, or C may not, however, avoid its 
obligation to pay per-payphone compensation by requesting such 
clarification.
    13. KTNT Communications is an exception in the Commission's listing 
of entities in Appendices A, B, and C according to the RBOC data. The 
Commission identified KTNT Communications as the company obligated to 
pay the per-payphone compensation required by this Order for 39 
operator service providers. In explaining this decision, the Commission 
noted that KTNT Communications filed a notice with the Public Utility 
Commission of Texas on April 18, 1997 that it was the management 
company responsible for these other operator service providers. In 
addition, KTNT Communications and each of the 38 other operator service 
providers submitted ``concurring carrier'' documentation to qualify to 
use KTNT Communications tariff submissions. The 38 other operator 
service providers with payphone call data aggregated with data for KTNT 
Communications are: Bay TNT Network, Who Ever, U Speak Long Distance, 
It Doesn't Matter, Zimmer Way, I Don't Care, I Don't Know, Riverbend 
Communications, Minh Long Distance, Viva Tel L.D., Bryant Service, Rea 
Long Distance, Signature Network Service, Brown Service Co., Exco Long 
Distance, Mustang Operators, Far Point, Knox Service Group, Sandell 
Operator Service, Christine LD Service, Vera Long Distance, Old Laredo 
Service, Old Home Operator, Andril Service Group, Any One Is Okay, MCV, 
Brahms Communications, Forest Pine Telcom, Amadeus, Dvorak, KBTN, 
Callum Long Distance, Sunrise Operator, Wisteria LD Service, World 
Window, Hickory Grover Group, Alert Operators, and Friendly Voice 
Network. While KTNT Communications must pay all of the per-payphone 
compensation required in this Order for itself and each of the 38 
entities listed in this paragraph, KTNT Communications has a right of 
recovery from these listed 38 entities if such recovery does not lead 
to double recovery by KTNT Communications.
    14. In this Order, the Commission granted Sprint's petition for 
reconsideration regarding the obligation of resellers to pay per-
payphone compensation to the following extent. The RBOC call data 
listed carriers receiving calls by name and by CIC. Because many 
resellers have their own CICs, numerous resellers are included on these 
lists, and hence included in the allocation delineated at Appendices A, 
B and C. Accordingly, the Commission addressed at least part of 
Sprint's concern by including resellers as well as ``first switch'' 
carriers, without regard to the label borne by the carrier. Further, 
the Commission explicitly held that allocating compensation obligations 
among carriers through the use of this methodology replaces the more 
general statements made in the Fourth Reconsideration Order about 
requiring first facilities-based carriers to bear the entire burden of 
per-payphone compensation. Moreover, the Commission reconsidered its 
decision to use Carrier Locator Reports to distinguish IXCs from 
resellers and instead made the allocation without regard to whether a 
company considers itself to be an IXC, a reseller, or some other type 
of provider of telecommunications services.
    15. In contrast, the Commission recognized in this Order that calls 
routed to facilities-based carriers' CICs may in fact have been 
ultimately routed to resellers. Given the inclusion of a significant 
number of resellers in the allocation methodology, the Commission 
decided that the ultimate impact on the compensation paid by other 
carriers will most likely not be significant. Sprint's proposed 
alternative method for allocating per-payphone compensation proposal 
effectively would have excluded all resellers from compensation and the 
Commission did not consider it to be fair compensation to PSPs. The 
Commission stipulated explicitly that, if a carrier has data that 
payphone calls allocated to them (i.e., routed to its CIC) were 
actually carried by resellers, nothing in this Order prevents carriers 
from seeking reimbursement of the cost of these calls from resellers. 
The Commission added that carriers may in no way delay payment of 
compensation to PSPs on account of seeking such reimbursement.
    16. In adopting its allocation methodology, the Commission 
explicitly denied reconsideration petitions asking the Commission to 
establish alternative ways of calculating compensation for the Interim 
and Intermediate Periods. The Commission also rejected 
ITC[caret]DeltaCom's reconsideration petition request to exempt from 
Interim Period compensation obligations those carriers with revenues 
below $100 million. In addition, APCC, Sprint Corporation, MCI and 
Frontier Corporation filed petitions for reconsideration or review of a 
Bureau-level decision and a Division-level decision, each related to 
per-payphone compensation for the Intermediate Period. See 
Implementation of the Pay Telephone Reclassification and Compensation 
Provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, CC Docket No. 96-128, 
Memorandum Opinion & Order, 63 FR 26497, May 13, 1998; Order, 63 FR 
26495, May 13, 1998. These petitions attack various aspects of the 
waiver process by which per-payphone compensation was paid during the 
Intermediate Period. After establishing in the Fourth Reconsideration 
Order and this Order the methodology for calculating and apportioning 
per-payphone compensation for the Interim and Intermediate Periods, and 
allocating the responsibility for per-payphone compensation to as large 
a group of carriers as possible, the Commission dismissed these 
petitions as moot.
    17. In its reconsideration petition, Sprint Corporation asserted 
that it did not believe the obligation created in the Fourth 
Reconsideration Order regarding per-payphone compensation for the 
Intermediate Period was intended to force carriers that previously paid 
on a per-call basis to now conduct true ups on a per-payphone basis for 
the Intermediate Period. The Commission declared in this Order that if 
carriers have already paid per-call compensation on payphones for which 
they received coding digits in the Interim, Intermediate or any other 
period, nothing in the Fourth Reconsideration Order or this Order 
requires carriers to now go back and apply per-payphone compensation to 
these payphones.
    18. CPA requested reconsideration of the decision that PSPs must 
pay refunds for the Intermediate Period. In this Order, the Commission 
affirmed its decision in the Third Report and Order that PSPs must 
refund the difference

[[Page 71864]]

between payments they received at the 28.4 cent rate established in the 
Second Report and Order, 62 FR 58659, October 30, 1997, and payments 
recalculated at a 23.8 cent rate.
    19. The Commission affirmed in this Order the decisions in the 
Third Report and Order and the Fourth Reconsideration Order that 
obligations for payment of outstanding compensation for the Interim and 
Intermediate Periods, and payment of refunds and any adjustments, shall 
run from specific carriers to specific PSPs. The Commission declined to 
adopt APCC's reconsideration petition to the extent it asked for the 
establishment of a carrier-to-carrier mechanism for resolving payments 
and refunds. The Commission, however, reiterated its conclusion in the 
Fourth Reconsideration Order that alternative arrangements between or 
among carriers, with the agreement of the PSP, are not prohibited.
    20. The Commission explained how carriers and PSPs should handle 
the compensation and refund process by providing the following 
guidelines to clarify the requirements of the Third Report and Order. 
After the effective date of this Order, PSPs and carriers may render 
bills to one another or otherwise arrange for payment of outstanding 
Interim and Intermediate Period compensation obligations or refunds. 
They may use whatever commercially reasonable payment or dispute 
resolution processes to handle this process they may currently use in 
their dealings with one another or to which they may otherwise mutually 
agree, including clearinghouse processes. In accordance with the Third 
Report and Order determination that ``IXCs may recover their 
overpayments to the PSPs at the same time as the PSPs receive payment 
from the IXCs for the Interim Period,'' the Commission clarified in 
this Order that this means IXCs (or other carriers rendering payment) 
shall initially claim an offset for refunds of overpayments only 
against amounts claimed by the PSP for Interim and Intermediate Period 
compensation. Only after the carrier and the PSP have resolved the 
offset against this amount may the IXC ``deduct the remaining 
overpayment from future payments to PSPs'' as stipulated in the Third 
Report and Order. The Commission clarified that IXCs (or other carriers 
claiming refunds) may only withhold undisputed amounts from future 
payments. Thus, any carrier wishing to deduct a refund out of future 
payments to PSPs may only do so after providing that specific PSP 
notice of the refund claimed, and allowing the PSP adequate time to 
dispute the claim. To the extent a PSP disputes any portion of the 
refund claimed, the carrier may not deduct that portion from any future 
payment until it resolves the dispute with the PSP. Again, carriers and 
PSPs may use existing commercially reasonable processes to handle these 
disputes and arrange for payment. The only requirement the Commission 
placed on these processes is that if a carrier is able to apply 
undisputed amounts against future payments, the carriers must allow 
PSPs to make payments of refunds over a reasonable number of future 
payments, subject to ongoing accrual of interest, if reasonably 
requested by the PSP.
    21. The Commission in this Order rejected reconsideration requests 
and affirmed its decision in the Fourth Reconsideration Order to apply 
the IRS-prescribed interest rate to payments of Interim and 
Intermediate Period compensation, as well as to refunds owed by PSPs to 
carriers. The Commission specified, however, that because it had 
reinstated the $0.009 interest rate component as described above, the 
IRS-prescribed interest rate will only begin to accrue after the date 
payment normally would have been rendered under the quarterly payment 
system applicable to payphone compensation. Consistent with the 
Commission's assumptions under prior orders in this proceeding, the 
IRS-prescribed interest rate for payments that should have been made 
for the first quarter of the year will begin accruing on July 2 of that 
same year, for the second quarter of the year on October 2 of that same 
year, for the third quarter on January 2 of the next year, and for the 
fourth quarter on April 2 of the next year.
    22. WorldCom asked the Commission to clarify that, with the 
exception of Interim Period inmate calls not otherwise compensated, 
PSPs may not now submit any new claims for any other type of coinless 
payphone call after the one year deadline for submitting calls for 
compensation. The Commission decided it was not necessary to further 
clarify its holding and rejected WorldCom's clarification request.
    23. In this Order, the Commission denied CPA's reconsideration 
petition asking the Commission to require carriers to implement 
targeted call blocking, the technological ability of an IXC to not 
accept (or ``block'') a dial-around access code call from one payphone 
while accepting calls from another payphone.
    24. The Commission decided in this Order that it is constrained by 
the court's holding in Illinois to allow LECs to use net book value 
when valuing payphone assets transferred to a separate affiliate or 
operating division. The Commission noted that the court's holding, 
however, was enunciated in the specific context of the transfers at 
issue in Illinois. Thus, to avoid confusion as to the reach of the 
Commission's implementation of the court's decision, the Commission 
provided in this Order clarification as follows. If a LEC chooses to 
retain payphone assets, reclassification of these assets from regulated 
to nonregulated status must be consistent with Sec.  32.32 and the 
Commission's part 64 cost allocation rules. If a LEC chooses to make a 
one-time transfer of payphone assets to a nonregulated affiliate or 
operating division, then such a transfer would be recorded at net book 
value. The Commission expressly limited this treatment to only such 
transfers as may be made pursuant to Commission implementation of 
section 276(b)(1)(B), as it is only these types of transfers that could 
reasonably be considered the kind of one-time industry reform 
contemplated by the court in Illinois. The Commission also explained 
that, to the extent a transfer of payphone assets does not meet these 
requirements, the Commission's affiliate transaction rules would apply. 
In this event, carriers were reminded that they must include in fair 
market valuations of payphone assets the going concern value associated 
with location contracts supporting the payphone assets.
    25. The Commission also clarified that the effective date of the 
Fourth Reconsideration Order and this Order shall be 30 days after the 
date that this Order is published in the Federal Register. The 
Commission specifically declined, however, to require compensation 
payment to be made within thirty days after release of this Order, as 
the RBOC Coalition requested. According to the Commission, once any PSP 
or carrier has performed the tasks necessary to render bills for 
compensation or refunds in accordance with this Order, the PSP or 
carrier may render such bills as soon as practicable after this Order's 
effective date, provided that they observe the offset resolution 
guidelines described in the Order.
    26. The Commission delineated the results of its allocations, 
showing each carrier's pro rata share of the per-payphone payment, in 
Tables of Allocation located in Appendices A, B and C. In Appendix A, 
the Commission identified the payors and designated the monthly per-
payphone compensation amounts for the Interim Period,

beginning November 7, 1996 through October 6, 1997.

Paperwork Reduction Act Analysis

    29. This Order was analyzed with respect to the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. It contains no new or modified 
information collections subject to Office of Management and Budget 
review.

Supplemental Final Regulatory Flexibility Act Analysis

    30. As required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 
603, an Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (IRFA) was provided in 
the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in CC Docket No. 96-128, 61 FR 31481, 
June 20, 1996. The Commission sought written public comment on the 
proposals in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, including comment on 
the IRFA. A Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (FRFA) was provided 
in the First Report and Order, 61 FR 52307, October 7, 1996, the First 
Reconsideration Order, 61 FR 65341, December 12, 1996, the Second 
Report and Order, 62 FR 58659, October 30, 1997, the Third Report and 
Order, 64 FR 13701, March 22, 1999, and the Fourth Reconsideration 
Order, 67 FR 9610, March 4, 2002.
    31. This present Supplemental FRFA conforms to the RFA, as amended. 
See 5 U.S.C. 604. The RFA, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., has been amended by 
the Contract with America Advancement Act of 1996, Public Law No. 104-
121, 110 Stat. 847 (1996) (CWAA). Title II of the CWAA is the Small 
Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA).
    32. To the extent that any statement in this Supplemental FRFA is 
perceived as creating ambiguity with respect to Commission rules or 
statements made in the sections of the Order preceding the Supplemental 
FRFA, the rules and statements set forth in those preceding sections 
are controlling.

Need for, and Objectives of, the Rules

    33. In adopting section 276 in 1996, Public Law No. 104-104, 110 
Stat. 56 (1996) (codified at 47 U.S.C. 276), Congress mandated inter 
alia that the Commission ``establish a per call compensation plan to 
ensure that all payphone service providers are fairly compensated for 
each and every completed intrastate and interstate call using their 
payphone. * * *'' In this Order, the Commission redetermined certain 
aspects of the per-payphone compensation to be paid to payphone service 
providers (PSPs) pursuant to the remand by the U.S. Court of Appeals 
for the District of Columbia Circuit in Illinois, 117 F.3d. at 555. To 
implement the remand, the Commission calculated a per-call allocation 
for each carrier and clarified the manner in which the true up and 
offset procedures are to be applied to determine refunds and 
overpayments.

Summary of Significant Issues Raised by Public Comments in Response to 
the FRFA

    34. The Commission received no comments in direct response to the 
FRFA in the Fourth Reconsideration Order. The Commission believes that 
the rules as adopted in this Order minimize the burdens of the per-
payphone compensation procedure to the benefit of all parties, 
including small entities. See ``Steps Taken to Minimize Significant 
Economic Impact on Small Entities, and Significant Alternatives 
Considered,'' infra.

[[Page 71887]]

Description and Estimate of the Number of Small Entities to which Rules 
Will Apply

    35. The RFA directs agencies to provide a description of, and an 
estimate of, the number of small entities that may be affected by the 
rules adopted herein, where feasible. 5 U.S.C. 604(a)(3). The RFA 
generally defines ``small entity'' as having the same meaning as the 
terms ``small business,'' ``small organization,'' and ``small 
governmental jurisdiction.'' 5 U.S.C. 601(6). In addition, the term 
``small business'' has the same meaning as the term ``small business 
concern'' under the Small Business Act, unless the Commission has 
developed one or more definitions that are more appropriate to its 
activities. 5 U.S.C. 601(3) (incorporating by reference the definition 
of ``small business concern'' in 5 U.S.C. 632). Under the Small 
Business Act, a ``small business concern'' is one that: (1) Is 
independently owned and operated; (2) is not dominant in its field of 
operation; and (3) meets any additional criteria established by the 
Small Business Administration (SBA). 5 U.S.C. 632. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 
601(3), the statutory definition of a small business applies ``unless 
an agency after consultation with the Office of Advocacy of the Small 
Business Administration and after opportunity for public comment, 
establishes one or more definitions of such term which are appropriate 
to the activities of the agency and publishes such definition in the 
Federal Register.''
    36. The Commission included small incumbent LECs in this RFA 
analysis. As noted above, a ``small business'' under the RFA is one 
that, inter alia, meets the pertinent small business size standard 
(e.g., a telephone communications business having 1,500 or fewer 
employees), and ``is not dominant in its field of operation.'' 5 U.S.C. 
601(3). The SBA's Office of Advocacy contends that, for RFA purposes, 
small incumbent LECs are not dominant in their field of operation 
because any such dominance is not ``national'' in scope. See letter 
from Jere W. Glover, Chief Counsel for Advocacy, SBA, to Chairman 
William E. Kennard, FCC (May 27, 1999). The Small Business Act contains 
a definition of ``small business concern,'' which the RFA incorporates 
into its own definition of ``small business.'' See 5 U.S.C. 632(a) 
(Small Business Act); 5 U.S.C. 601(3) (RFA). SBA regulations interpret 
``small business concern'' to include the concept of dominance on a 
national basis. 13 CFR 121.102(b). The Commission therefore included 
small incumbent LECs in this RFA analysis, although the Commission 
emphasizes that this RFA action has no effect on the Commission's 
analyses and determinations in other, non-RFA contexts.
    37. Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers. Neither the Commission nor 
the SBA has developed a specific size standard for small providers of 
incumbent local exchange services. The closest applicable size standard 
under the SBA rules is for Wired Telecommunications Carriers. Under 
that size standard, such a business is small if it has 1,500 or fewer 
employees. 13 CFR 121.201, North American Industry Classification 
System (NAICS) code 513310. According to the most recent Telephone 
Trends Report data, 1,329 incumbent local exchange carriers (LECs) 
reported that they were engaged in the provision of local exchange 
services. FCC, Wireline Competition Bureau, Industry Analysis and 
Technology Division, Trends in Telephone Service (May 2002) 
(hereinafter Telephone Trends Report), Table 5.3. Of these 1,329 
carriers, an estimated 1,024 have 1,500 or fewer employees and 305 have 
more than 1,500 employees. Id. Consequently, the Commission estimates 
that most providers of local exchange service are small businesses that 
may be affected by the rules and policies adopted herein.
    38. Competitive Local Exchange Carriers or Competitive Access 
Providers. Neither the Commission nor the SBA has developed a size 
standard for small businesses specifically applicable to providers of 
competitive local exchange services or to competitive access providers 
(CAPs) or to ``Other Local Exchange Carriers.'' The closest applicable 
size standard under the SBA rules is for Wired Telecommunications 
Carriers. Under that SBA standard, such a business is small if it has 
1,500 or fewer employees. 13 CFR 121.201, NAICS code 513310. According 
to the Commission's most recent Telephone Trends Report data, 532 
companies reported that they were engaged in the provision of either 
competitive access provider services or competitive local exchange 
carrier services. Telephone Trends Report, Table 5.3. Of these 532 
companies, an estimated 411 have 1,500 or fewer employees and 121 have 
more than 1,500 employees. Id. In addition, 55 carriers reported that 
they were ``Other Local Exchange Carriers.'' Id. Of the 55 ``Other 
Local Exchange Carriers,'' an estimated 53 have 1,500 or fewer 
employees and two have more than 1,500 employees. Id. Consequently, the 
Commission estimates that most providers of competitive local exchange 
service, competitive access providers, and ``Other Local Exchange 
Carriers'' are small entities that may be affected by the rules and 
policies adopted herein.
    39. Local Resellers. The SBA has developed a size standard for 
small businesses within the category of Telecommunications Resellers. 
Under that SBA size standard, such a business is small if it has 1,500 
or fewer employees. 13 CFR 121.201, NAICS code 513330. According to the 
Commission's most recent Telephone Trends Report data, 134 companies 
reported that they were engaged in the provision of local resale 
services. Telephone Trends Report, Table 5.3. Of these 134 companies, 
an estimated 131 have 1,500 or fewer employees and three have more than 
1,500 employees. Id. Consequently, the Commission estimates that the 
great majority of local resellers are small entities that may be 
affected by the rules and policies adopted herein.
    40. Toll Resellers. The SBA has developed a size standard for small 
businesses within the category of Telecommunications Resellers. Under 
that SBA size standard, such a business is small if it has 1,500 or 
fewer employees. 13 CFR 121.201, NAICS code 513330. According to the 
Commission's most recent Telephone Trends Report data, 576 companies 
reported that they were engaged in the provision of toll resale 
services. Telephone Trends Report, Table 5.3. Of these 576 companies, 
an estimated 538 have 1,500 or fewer employees and 38 have more than 
1,500 employees. Id. Consequently, the Commission estimates that the 
great majority of toll resellers are small entities that may be 
affected by the rules and policies adopted herein.
    41. Payphone Service Providers. Neither the Commission nor the SBA 
has developed a size standard for small businesses specifically 
applicable to payphone service providers (PSPs). The closest applicable 
size standard under the SBA rules is for Wired Telecommunications 
Carriers. Under that standard, such a business is small if it has 1,500 
or fewer employees. 13 CFR 121.201, NAICS code 513310. According to the 
Commission's most recent Telephone Trends Report data, 936 PSPs 
reported that they were engaged in the provision of payphone services. 
Telephone Trends Report, Table 5.3. Of these 936 PSPs, an estimated 933 
have 1,500 or fewer employees and three have more than 1,500 employees. 
Id. Consequently, the

[[Page 71888]]

Commission estimates that the great majority of PSPs are small entities 
that may be affected by the rules and policies adopted herein.
    42. Interexchange Carriers. Neither the Commission nor the SBA has 
developed a size standard for small businesses specifically applicable 
to providers of interexchange services. The closest applicable size 
standard under the SBA rules is for Wired Telecommunications Carriers. 
Under that standard, such a business is small if it has 1,500 or fewer 
employees. 13 CFR 121.201, NAICS code 513310. According to the most 
recent Telephone Trends Report data, 229 carriers reported that their 
primary telecommunications service activity was the provision of 
interexchange services. Telephone Trends Report, Table 5.3. Of these 
229 carriers, an estimated 181 have 1,500 or fewer employees and 48 
have more than 1,500 employees. Id. Consequently, the Commission 
estimates that the majority of interexchange carriers are small 
entities that may be affected by the rules and policies adopted herein.
    43. Operator Service Providers. Neither the Commission nor the SBA 
has developed a size standard for small businesses specifically 
applicable to operator service providers. The closest applicable size 
standard under the SBA rules is for Wired Telecommunications Carriers. 
Under that standard, such a business is small if it has 1,500 or fewer 
employees. 13 CFR 121.201, NAICS code 513310. According to the 
Commission's most recent Telephone Trends Report data, 22 companies 
reported that they were engaged in the provision of operator services. 
Telephone Trends Report, Table 5.3. Of these 22 companies, an estimated 
20 have 1,500 or fewer employees and two have more than 1,500 
employees. Id. Consequently, the Commission estimates that the great 
majority of operator service providers are small entities that may be 
affected by the rules and policies adopted herein.
    44. Prepaid Calling Card Providers. The SBA has developed a size 
standard for small businesses within the category of Telecommunications 
Resellers. Under that SBA size standard, such a business is small if it 
has 1,500 or fewer employees. 13 CFR 121.201, NAICS code 513330. 
According to the Commission's most recent Telephone Trends Report data, 
32 companies reported that they were engaged in the provision of 
prepaid calling cards. Telephone Trends Report, Table 5.3. Of these 32 
companies, an estimated 31 have 1,500 or fewer employees and one has 
more than 1,500 employees. Id. Consequently, the Commission estimates 
that the great majority of prepaid calling card providers are small 
entities that may be affected by the rules and policies adopted herein.
    45. Satellite Service Carriers. The SBA has developed a size 
standard for small businesses within the category of Satellite 
Telecommunications. Under that SBA size standard, such a business is 
small if it has $12.5 million or less in average annual receipts. 13 
CFR 121.201, NAICS code 513340. According to the Commission's most 
recent Telephone Trends Report data, 31 carriers reported that they 
were engaged in the provision of satellite services. Telephone Trends 
Report, Table 5.3. Of these 31 carriers, an estimated 25 have 1,500 or 
fewer employees and six have more than 1,500 employees. Id. 
Consequently, the Commission estimates that most satellite service 
carriers are small entities that may be affected by the rules and 
policies adopted herein.
    46. Other Toll Carriers. Neither the Commission nor the SBA has 
developed a size standard for small businesses specifically applicable 
to ``Other Toll Carriers.'' This category includes toll carriers that 
do not fall within the categories of interexchange carriers, operator 
service providers, prepaid calling card providers, satellite service 
carriers, or toll resellers. The closest applicable size standard under 
the SBA rules is for Wired Telecommunications Carriers. Under that 
standard, such a business is small if it has 1,500 or fewer employees. 
13 CFR 121.201, NAICS code 513310. According to the Commission's most 
recent Telephone Trends Report data, 42 carriers reported that they 
were engaged in the provision of ``Other Toll'' services. Telephone 
Trends Report, Table 5.3. Of these 42 carriers, an estimated 37 have 
1,500 or fewer employees and five have more than 1,500 employees. Id. 
Consequently, the Commission estimates that most ``Other Toll 
Carriers'' are small entities that may be affected by the rules and 
policies adopted herein.
    47. Wireless Service Providers. The SBA has developed a size 
standard for wireless small businesses within the two separate 
categories of Paging and of Cellular and Other Wireless 
Telecommunications. Under those SBA size standards, such a business is 
small if it has 1,500 or fewer employees. 13 CFR 121.201, NAICS code 
513322. According to the Commission's most recent Telephone Trends 
Report data, 1,761 companies reported that they were engaged in the 
provision of wireless service. Telephone Trends Report, Table 5.3. Of 
these 1,761 companies, an estimated 1,175 have 1,500 or fewer employees 
and 586 have more than 1,500 employees. Id. Consequently, the 
Commission estimates that most wireless service providers are small 
entities that may be affected by the rules and policies adopted herein.
    48. Broadband Personal Communications Service. The broadband 
personal communications service (PCS) spectrum is divided into six 
frequency blocks designated A through F, and the Commission has held 
auctions for each block. The Commission defined ``small entity'' for 
Blocks C and F as an entity that has average gross revenues of $40 
million or less in the three previous calendar years. See Amendment of 
Parts 20 and 24 of the Commission's Rules--Broadband PCS Competitive 
Bidding and the Commercial Mobile Radio Service Spectrum Cap, WT Docket 
No. 96-59, Report and Order, 61 FR 33859, July 1, 1996; see also 47 CFR 
24.720(b). For Block F, an additional classification for ``very small 
business'' was added and is defined as an entity that, together with 
affiliates, has average gross revenues of not more than $15 million for 
the preceding three calendar years. See Amendment of Parts 20 and 24 of 
the Commission's Rules--Broadband PCS Competitive Bidding and the 
Commercial Mobile Radio Service Spectrum Cap, WT Docket No. 96-59, 
Report and Order, 61 FR 33859, July 1, 1996. These standards defining 
``small entity'' in the context of broadband PCS auctions have been 
approved by the SBA. See, e.g., Implementation of Section 309(j) of the 
Communications Act--Competitive Bidding, PP Docket No. 93-253, Fifth 
Report and Order, 59 FR 37566, July 22, 1994. No small businesses 
within the SBA-approved small business size standards bid successfully 
for licenses in Blocks A and B. There were 90 winning bidders that 
qualified as small entities in the Block C auctions. A total of 93 
small and very small business bidders won approximately 40 percent of 
the 1,479 licenses for Blocks D, E, and F. FCC News, Broadband PCS, D, 
E and F Block Auction Closes, No. 71744 (rel. Jan. 14, 1997); see also 
Amendment of the Commission's Rules Regarding Installment Payment 
Financing for Personal Communications Services (PCS) Licensees, WT 
Docket No. 97-82, Second Report and Order, 62 FR 55348, October 24, 
1997. On March 23, 1999, the Commission reauctioned 347 C, D, E, and F 
Block licenses. There were 48 small business winning bidders. On 
January 26, 2001, the Commission

[[Page 71889]]

completed the auction of 422 C and F Broadband PCS licenses in Auction 
No. 35. Of the 35 winning bidders in this auction, 29 qualified as 
``small'' or ``very small'' businesses. Based on this information, the 
Commission concludes that the number of small broadband PCS licensees 
will include the 90 winning C Block bidders, the 93 qualifying bidders 
in the D, E, and F Block auctions, the 48 winning bidders in the 1999 
re-auction, and the 29 winning bidders in the 2001 re-auction, for a 
total of 260 small entity broadband PCS providers, as defined by the 
SBA small business size standards and the Commission's auction rules. 
Consequently, the Commission estimates that 260 broadband PCS providers 
are small entities that may be affected by the rules and policies 
adopted herein.
    49. 800 MHz and 900 MHz Specialized Mobile Radio Licensees. The 
Commission awards ``small entity'' and ``very small entity'' bidding 
credits in auctions for Specialized Mobile Radio (SMR) geographic area 
licenses in the 800 MHz and 900 MHz bands to firms that had revenues of 
no more than $15 million in each of the three previous calendar years, 
or that had revenues of no more than $3 million in each of the three 
previous calendar years, respectively. 47 CFR 90.814. In the context of 
both the 800 MHz and 900 MHz SMR service, the definitions of ``small 
entity'' and ``very small entity'' have been approved by the SBA. These 
bidding credits apply to SMR providers in the 800 MHz and 900 MHz bands 
that either hold geographic area licenses or have obtained extended 
implementation authorizations. The Commission does not know how many 
firms provide 800 MHz or 900 MHz geographic area SMR service pursuant 
to extended implementation authorizations, nor how many of these 
providers have annual revenues of no more than $15 million. One firm 
has over $15 million in revenues. The Commission assumes, for its 
purposes here, that all of the remaining existing extended 
implementation authorizations are held by small entities, as that term 
is defined by the SBA. The Commission has held auctions for geographic 
area licenses in the 800 MHz and 900 MHz SMR bands. There were 60 
winning bidders that qualified as small and very small entities in the 
900 MHz auctions. Of the 1,020 licenses won in the 900 MHz auction, 
bidders qualifying as small and very small entities won 263 licenses. 
In the 800 MHz SMR auction, 38 of the 524 licenses won were won by 
small and very small entities. Consequently, the Commission estimates 
that there are 301 or fewer small entity SMR licensees in the 800 MHz 
and 900 MHz bands that may be affected by the rules and policies 
adopted herein.
    50. Rural Radiotelephone Service. The Commission has not adopted a 
size standard for small businesses specific to the Rural Radiotelephone 
Service. The service is defined in 47 CFR 22.99. A significant subset 
of the Rural Radiotelephone Service is the Basic Exchange Telephone 
Radio Systems (BETRS). BETRS is defined in 47 CFR 22.757, 22.759. For 
purposes of this Supplemental FRFA, the Commission uses the SBA's size 
standard applicable to wireless service providers, supra--an entity 
employing no more than 1,500 persons. 13 CFR 121.201, NAICS codes 
513321, 513322. There are approximately 1,000 licensees in the Rural 
Radiotelephone Service, and the Commission estimates that almost all of 
them qualify as small entities under the SBA's size standard. 
Consequently, the Commission estimates that there are 1,000 or fewer 
small entity licensees in the Rural Radiotelphone Service that may be 
affected by the rules and policies adopted herein.
    51. Fixed Microwave Services. Microwave services include common 
carrier, private-operational fixed, and broadcast auxiliary radio 
services. For common carrier fixed microwave services (except 
Multipoint Distribution Service), see 47 CFR part 101 (formerly 47 CFR 
part 21). Persons eligible under parts 80 and 90 of the Commission's 
rules can use Private Operational-Fixed Microwave services. See 47 CFR 
parts 80, 90. Stations in this service are called operational-fixed to 
distinguish them from common carrier and public fixed stations. Only 
the licensee may use the operational-fixed station, and only for 
communications related to the licensee's commercial, industrial, or 
safety operations. Auxiliary Microwave Service is governed by 47 CFR 
part 74. The Auxiliary Microwave Service is available to licensees of 
broadcast stations and to broadcast and cable network entities. 
Broadcast auxiliary microwave stations are used for relaying broadcast 
television signals from the studio to the transmitter, or between two 
points, such as, a main studio and an auxiliary studio. The service 
also includes mobile TV pickups, which relay signals from a remote 
location back to the studio.
    52. At present, there are approximately 22,015 common carrier fixed 
licensees and 61,670 private operational-fixed licensees and broadcast 
auxiliary radio licensees in the microwave services. The Commission has 
not created a size standard for a small business specifically with 
respect to microwave services. For purposes of this Supplemental FRFA, 
the Commission uses the SBA's size standard applicable to wireless 
service providers, supra--an entity with no more than 1,500 persons. 13 
CFR 121.201, NAICS codes 513321, 513322. The Commission does not have 
data specifying the number of these licensees that have more than 1,500 
employees, and thus is unable at this time to estimate with greater 
precision the number of fixed microwave service licensees that would 
qualify as small business concerns under the SBA's definition. 
Consequently, the Commission estimates that there are 22,015 or fewer 
small common carrier fixed microwave licensees and 61,670 or fewer 
small private operational-fixed microwave licensees and small broadcast 
auxiliary radio licensees in the microwave services that may be 
affected by the rules and policies adopted herein. The Commission 
notes, however, that the common carrier microwave fixed licensee 
category includes some large entities.
    53. 39 GHz Licensees. The Commission has created a special small 
business size standard for 39 GHz licenses--an entity that has average 
gross revenues of $40 million or less in the three previous calendar 
years. See Amendment of the Commission's Rules Regarding the 37.0-38.6 
GHz and 38.6-40.0 GHz Bands, ET Docket No. 95-183, Report and Order, 63 
FR 6079, February 6, 1998. An additional size standard for ``very small 
business'' is: An entity that, together with affiliates, has average 
gross revenues of not more than $15 million for the preceding three 
calendar years. Id. The SBA has approved these size standards. See 
Letter to Kathleen O'Brien Ham, Chief, Auctions and Industry Analysis 
Division, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, FCC, from Aida Alvarez, 
Administrator, SBA (Feb. 4, 1998). The auction of the 2,173 39 GHz 
licenses began on April 12, 2000 and closed on May 8, 2000. The 18 
bidders who claimed small business status won 849 licenses. 
Consequently, the Commission estimates that 18 or fewer 39 GHz 
licensees are small entities that may be affected by the rules and 
policies adopted herein.

Description of Projected Reporting, Recordkeeping, and Other Compliance 
Requirements

    54. As mandated by the court in the Illinois decision, the 
Commission established in this Order a compensation procedure for 
resolving monthly payments and refunds between PSPs and carriers for 
the Interim Period,

[[Page 71890]]

beginning November 7, 1996, through October 6, 1997, where PSPs and 
carriers may have been overpaid or underpaid for per-payphone 
compensation. The Commission also applied the Interim Period procedures 
to cover the subsequent Intermediate Period, beginning October 7, 1997, 
through April 20, 1999. With this exception, this Order imposes no new 
reporting, recordkeeping or other compliance requirements not 
previously adopted in this or related payphone proceedings.

Steps Taken To Minimize Significant Economic Impact on Small Entities, 
and Significant Alternatives Considered

    55. Although the Commission rejected a proposal to establish a 
carrier-to-carrier payment mechanism for resolving payments and refunds 
due to the degree of regulatory intervention it would require, the 
Commission specified carrier-specific per-call costs that can be used 
by carriers and PSPs to calculate total overpayments or underpayments. 
The Commission also affirmed the conclusions reached in the Fourth 
Reconsideration Order that alternative payment arrangements can be made 
between or among carriers, provided affected PSPs agree. Adoption of 
this payment scheme will minimize the economic impact and 
administrative burden for both payors and recipients of per-payphone 
compensation, including small entities.
    56. The Commission recognized in this Order that small entities 
such as PSPs would be disadvantaged by true up and offset mechanisms 
used in the per-call compensation process because carriers could use a 
self-help remedy of withholding future payments from PSPs and would 
have no incentive to resolve such disputes in a timely manner. See 
paragraph 20, supra. The Commission affirmed the conclusion reached in 
the Third Report and Order that carriers may deduct the remaining 
overpayments from future payments to PSPs, but clarified that it may 
only be done as follows: (1) Carriers may only withhold undisputed 
amounts from future payments; (2) carriers may not withhold any amounts 
from future payments until PSPs and carriers have had an opportunity to 
apply the refund against Interim and Intermediate Period compensation 
claimed by the PSP; and (3) carriers must allow PSPs to make payments 
of refunds over multiple future payments subject to ongoing accrual of 
interest, if reasonably requested by the PSP. These procedural 
safeguards will restore necessary measures of fairness to the process 
for small entities.

Report to Congress

    57. The Commission will send a copy of this Order, including this 
Supplemental FRFA, in a report to Congress pursuant to the 
Congressional Review Act. 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A). In addition, the 
Commission will send a copy of this Order, including this Supplemental 
FRFA, to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business 
Administration. See 5 U.S.C. 604(b).

Ordering Clauses

    58. Accordingly, pursuant to the authority contained in 47 U.S.C. 
151, 154, 201-205, 215, 218, 219, 220, 226, 276 and 405, it is ordered 
that the policies, rules and requirements set forth herein are adopted.
    59. It is further ordered that the Commission's Consumer and 
Governmental Affairs Bureau, Reference Information Center, shall send a 
copy of this Fifth Order on Reconsideration and Order on Remand, 
including the Supplemental Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis, to 
the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration.

a negotiated agreement to pay a different amount, each entity listed in 
Appendix A of the Fifth Order on Reconsideration and Order on Remand in 
CC Docket No. 96-128, FCC 02-292, must pay default compensation to 
payphone service providers for payphone access code calls and payphone 
subscriber 800 calls for the period beginning November 7, 1996, and

carrier to which the inmate telephone was presubscribed during this 
same time period must compensate the payphone service provider 
providing inmate service at the default rate of $0.238 per inmate call 
originating during the same time period, except that a payphone service 
provider that is affiliated with a local exchange carrier is not 
eligible to receive payphone compensation prior to April 16, 1997, or, 
in the alternative, the first day following both the termination of 
subsidies and payphone reclassification and transfer, whichever date is 
latest.
    (c) Interim compensation for 0+ payphone calls. In the absence of a 
negotiated agreement to pay a different amount, if a payphone service 
provider was not compensated for 0+ calls originating during the period
