[OMB 3060-0823; FRS 16421]


Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), the 
Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) invites the 
general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to 
comment on the following information collections. 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 estimate; 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 Office of Management and Budget 
(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 March 24, 
2020. 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 Nicole Ongele, FCC, via email 
[email protected] and to [email protected].

    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.
