FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Notice of Public Information Collection Being Reviewed by the 
Federal Communications Commission, Comments Requested

February 24, 2011.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), 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, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520. 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; (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; and (e) 
ways to further reduce the information collection burden on small 
business concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
    The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless it displays a currently 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 Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) control number.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before May 2, 
2011. 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 Cathy Williams, FCC, via e-mail 
to [email protected] and to [email protected].

U.S.C. 226, Telephone Operator Services, Pub. L. 101-435, 104 Stat. 
986, codified at 47 CFR 64.703(a) Consumer Information, 64.709

Phones.
    Total Annual Burden: 205,023 hours.

    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.
