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

435, 104 Stat. 986, codified at 47 CFR 64.703(a) Consumer Information,

    Total Annual Burden: 205,023 hours.

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.
