FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the 
Federal Communications Commission for Extension Under Delegated 
Authority, Comments Requested

March 26, 2008.
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), 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520. 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 June 2, 
2008. 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: You may submit all PRA comments by e-mail or U.S. mail. To 
submit your comments by e-mail, send them to [email protected]. To submit 
your comments by U.S. mail, send them to Leslie F. Smith, Federal

information they believe to be confidential under 47 CFR 0.459 of the 
Commission's rules.
    Needs and Uses: Pursuant to Section 276(b)(1)(A) of the Act, the 
Commission is required to ensure that all payphone service providers 
are fairly compensated. In order to calculate fair compensation for the 
payphones that are not supported by Flex ANI, the Commission must 
obtain monthly payphone call volume data. Once the impacted entities 
(primarily the Regional Bell Operating Companies and the large 
interexchange companies) submit this data, the Commission will 
calculate an average monthly call volume as one of the key inputs 
required to establish per-payphone monthly compensation.

Federal Communications Commission.
William F Caton,
Deputy Secretary.
