Reclassification and Compensation Provisions of the Telecommunications 
Act of 1996, CC Docket 96-128, 68 FR 62751, November 6, 2003, which 
adopts new rules that place liability to compensate a payphone service 
provider for payphone-originated calls on the facilities-based carrier,

the carrier leases or owns. Through this document, the Commission 
confirms that it received OMB approval on May 5, 2004; OMB Control No.

    Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13, 
an agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless 
it displays a currently valid control number. Notwithstanding any other 
provisions of law, no person shall be subject to any penalty for 
failing to comply with a collection of information subject to the 
Paperwork Reduction Act that does not display a valid control number. 
Questions concerning the OMB control numbers and expiration dates 
should be directed to Paul J. Laurenzano, Federal Communications
