    Needs and Uses: In addition to the existing information collection 
requirements that we 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 
Exchange Carriers (LECs) and Interexchange Carriers (IXCs) (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 clarity carriers' respective 
obligations under that rule section.
    Paragraph 64.4002(d) is modified to require that 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'' 
(preferred interexchange carrier) status. In this context, the 
selection of ``no-PIC'' status by the customer refers to the selection 
of no carriers for interLATA (Local Access Transport and Area) service 
or no carrier for interLATA 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

[[Page 27569]]

include the effective date of any changes to a customer's local service 
account and the carrier identifications 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 64.402(g) of the Commission's rules is modified to make 
the information categories included in paragraph 64.402(g) consistent 
with those included in other LEC notifications 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.
