FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Information Collection Being Submitted for Review and Approval to 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

ACTION: Notice; request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3502-3520), the FCC invites the general public and other Federal 
agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the following 
information collection. Comments are requested concerning: 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; the accuracy of the 
Commission's burden estimates; ways to enhance the quality, utility, 
and clarity of the information collected; 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 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 OMB 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 OMB 
Control Number.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before April 28, 
2014. If you anticipate that you will be submitting PRA comments, but 
find it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this 
notice, you should advise the FCC contact listed below as soon as 
possible.

ADDRESSES: Submit your PRA comments to Nicholas A. Fraser, Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB), via fax at 202-395-5167, or via the 
Internet at [email protected] and to Leslie Smith,

    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.

    Number of Respondents and Responses: 400 respondents; 16,820 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 2.66 hours (average).
    Frequency of Response: On occasion, quarterly and monthly reporting 
requirements and third party disclosure requirements.
    Obligation To Respond: Mandatory. Statutory authority for this 
information collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151, 154, 201-205,

    Total Annual Burden: 44,700 hours.

    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Confidentiality concerns are 
not relevant to these types of disclosures. The Commission is not 
requesting carriers or providers to submit confidential information to 
the Commission. If the Commission requests that carriers or providers 
submit information which they believe is confidential, the carriers or 
providers may request confidential treatment of their information under 
47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission's rules.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission established a plan to ensure that 
payphone service providers (PSPs) were compensated for certain non-coin 
calls originated from their payphones. As part of this plan, the 
Commission required that by October 7, 1997, local exchange carriers 
were to provide payphone-specific coding digits to PSPs, and that PSPs 
were to provide those digits from their payphones to interexchange 
carriers. The provision of payphone-specific coding digits was a 
prerequisite to payphone per-call compensation payments by IXCs to PSPs 
for subscriber 800 and access code calls. The Commission's Wireline 
Competition Bureau subsequently provided a waiver until March 9, 1998, 
for those payphones for which the necessary coding digits were not 
provided to identify calls. The Bureau also on that date clarified the 
requirements established in the Payphone Orders for the provision of 
payphone-specific coding digits and for tariffs that LECs must file 
pursuant to the Payphone Orders.
