FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Submitted for 
Review to the Office of Management and Budget

October 13, 2006.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden invites the general public 
and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the 
following information collection(s), as required by the 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 
to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that does not display a valid 
control number. Comments are requested concerning (a) whether the 
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper 
performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the 
information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 
Commission's burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, 
and clarity of the information collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 
burden of the collection of information on the respondents, including 
the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology.

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before November 20, 2006. If you anticipate that you 
will be submitting PRA comments, but find it difficult to do so within 
the period of time allowed by this notice, you should advise the 
contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments to Judith 
B. Herman, Federal Communications Commission, Room 1-B441, 445 12th

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control No.: 3060-0719.
    Title: Quarterly Report of IntraLATA Carriers Listing Payphone 
Automatic Number Identifications (ANIs).
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 400 respondents; 1,600 responses.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 3.5 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Quarterly reporting requirement, 
recordkeeping requirement and third party disclosure requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 5,600 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: N/A.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Needs and Uses: This collection will be submitted as an extension 
to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in order to obtain the 
full three year clearance.
    Pursuant to the mandate in Section 276(b)(1)(A) to ``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''. IntraLATA carriers are required to 
provide to interexchange carriers (IXCs) a quarterly report listing 
payphone by Automatic Number Identification (ANIs).
    Without provision of this report, resolution of disputed ANIs would 
be rendered very difficult. IXCs would not be able to discern which 
ANIs pertain to payphones and therefore would not be able to ascertain 
which dial-around calls were originated by payphones for compensation 
purposes. There would be no way to guard against possible fraud. 
Without this reporting requirement, lengthy investigations would be 
necessary to verify claims. The quarterly

[[Page 61774]]

report allows IXCs to determine which dial-around calls are made from 
payphones. The data which must be maintained for at least 18 months 
after the close of a compensation period, will facilitate verification 
of disputed ANIs.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
