    Needs and Uses: In addition to the existing information collection 
requirements that were previously approved by OMB, in the Order on 
Reconsideration, In the Matter of Rules and Regulations Implementing 
Minimum Customer Account Record Exchange Obligations on All Local and 
Interexchange Carriers (2005 Report and Order), CG Docket No. 02-386, 
FCC 06-134, which was released on September 13, 2006, the Commission 
concluded that minor modifications to 47 CFR 64.4002 are needed to 
clarify carriers' respective obligations under that rule section.
    Paragraph 64.4002(d) is modified to require that a LEC notify an 
IXC when the LEC has removed at its local switch a presubscribed 
customer of the IXC in connection with the customer's selection of 
``no-PIC'' status. In this context, the selection of ``no-PIC'' status 
by the customer refers to the selection of no carrier for interLATA 
service or no carrier for intraLATA service. The Commission concludes 
that this modification is needed to ensure that an IXC does not 
continue billing a customer for non-usage-related monthly

charges where that customer has contacted his current LEC or his 
current IXC to select ``no-PIC'' status.
    Paragraph 64.4002(e) of the Commission's rules is modified to 
include the effective date of any changes to a customer's local service 
account and the carrier identification code of the customer's IXC among 
the categories of information that must be provided to the IXC by the 
LEC. The Commission concludes that knowing the effective date of 
account changes will help IXCs to maintain accurate customer account 
information and that including the carrier identification code of the 
customer's IXC will enable an IXC to verify that it is the proper 
recipient of the transmitted information.
    Paragraph 64.4002(g) of the Commission's rules is modified to make 
the information categories included in paragraph 64.4002(g) consistent 
with those included in other LEC notification requirements. Paragraph 
64.4002(g) also is modified to require that when a customer changes 
LECs, but wishes to retain his current PIC, the new LEC must so notify 
the current PIC so that the current PIC does not erroneously assume, 
absent additional notification from the new LEC, that the customer also 
wishes to cancel his current PIC.
