Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) 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. No person shall be subject to any 
penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information, subject

the collection of information on the respondents, including the use of 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0463.
    Title: Telecommunications Relay Services and the Americans with 
Disabilities Act of 1990, Fifth Report and Order, CC Docket Nos. 90-571 
and 98-67, FCC 02-269.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities, state, local or 
tribal government.
    Number of Respondents: 5,053.
    Estimated Time per Response: 6 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion, Annual, Every five years, and 
One-time reporting requirements; Recordkeeping requirement; and Third 
party disclosure requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 26,837 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $0.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No.
    Needs and Uses: On October 25, 2002, the Commission released the 
Fifth Report and Order, In the Matter of Telecommunications Relay 
Services and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, (Report and 
Order), CC Docket Nos. 90-571 and 98-67, FCC 02-269. The Report and 
Order has eliminated the coin sent-paid requirement and has encouraged 
specific outreach and education programs to inform Telecommunications 
Relay Services (TRS) users of their options when placing calls from 
payphones. Because the Commission concluded that it is infeasible to 
provide coin sent-paid toll relay service through payphones at this 
time, and the coin sent-paid toll functionality was not necessary to 
achieve functional equivalence, carriers no longer needed to provide 
coin sent-paid toll TRS calls from payphones. The Report and Order has 
required carriers to continue to provide coin sent-paid local calls 
free to TRS users. The Report and Order has also required carriers via 
the Industry Team to submit a one time report on the efforts industry 
has made to educate consumers on how to make toll coin sent-paid calls.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
