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 of 1995 (PRA), Public Law 104-13. An agency may 
not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a 
current valid control number. No person shall be subject to any penalty 
for failing to comply with a collection of information subject to the 
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 PRA comments should be submitted on or before December 
26, 2006. If you anticipate that you will be submitting 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 PRA comments to Les Smith, Federal Communications 
Commission, Room 1-C216, 445 12th Street, SW., Washington, DC 20554, or

    Needs and Uses: On July 16, 2004, the Commission released the 
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), In the Matter of Policies and 
Rules Governing Interstate Pay-Per-Call and Other Information Services, 
and Toll-free Number Usage; Truth-in-Billing and Billing Format, CC 
Docket No. 98-170 and CG Docket No. 04-244, FCC 04-162, which initiated 
a new proceeding to review the effectiveness of the Commission's rules 
governing pay-per-call services, related audiotext information 
services, and toll-free numbers. The NPRM sought comment as to whether 
the Commission's existing rules governing billing specifically for pay-
per-call services and those for charges billed through toll-free 
numbers are sufficient to address any current billing concerns. The 
NPRM sought comment specifically on whether the Commission should adopt 
a requirement that charges for presubscribed audiotext information 
services accessed through toll-free numbers must be displayed 
separately from local and long-distance telephone service.
    Common carriers that assign telephone numbers to pay-per-call 
services must disclose to all interested parties, upon request, a list 
of all assigned pay-per-call numbers. For each assigned number, 
carriers must also make available (1) a description of the pay-per-call 
services; (2) the total cost per minute or other fees associated with 
the service; and (3) the service provider's name, business address, and 
telephone number. In addition, carriers handling pay-per-call services 
must establish a toll-free number that consumers may call to receive 
information about pay-per-call services. Finally, the Commission 
requires carriers to provide statements of pay-per-call rights and 
responsibilities to new telephone subscribers at the time service is 
established and, although not required by statute, to all subscribers 
annually.
