SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, invites the general 
public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment 
on the following information collection, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, Public Law No. 104-13. An agency may not 
conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid control number. Pursuant to the PRA, no person shall be 
subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of 
information 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 June 16, 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

Information, 64.709 Informational Tariffs, and 64.710 Operator Services 
for Prison Inmate Phones.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: An assurance of 
confidentiality is not offered because this information collection does 
not require the collection of personally identifiable information from 
individuals.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Needs and Uses: Pursuant to 47 CFR 64.703(a), Operator Service 
Providers (OSPs) are required to disclose, audibly and distinctly to 
the consumer, at no charge and before connecting any interstate call, 
how to obtain rate quotations, including any applicable surcharges. 47 
CFR 64.710 imposes similar requirements on OSPs to inmates at 
correctional institutions. 47 CFR 64.709 codifies the requirements for 
OSPs to file informational tariffs with the Commission. These rules 
help to ensure that consumers receive information necessary to 
determine what the charges associated with an OSP-assisted call will 
be, thereby enhancing informed consumer choice in the operator services 
marketplace.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
