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.

information collection should be submitted on or before April 30, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As part of its continuing effort to reduce 
paperwork burdens, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), the FCC invited the general public and 
other Federal Agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the 
following information collection. 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 estimates; (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. Pursuant to the Small Business 
Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, Public Law 107-198, see 44 U.S.C. 
3506(c)(4), the FCC seeks specific comment on how it might ``further 
reduce the information collection burden for small business concerns 
with fewer than 25 employees.''

Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 
U.S.C. 151, 154, 201-205, 218, 226 and 276.
    Total Annual Burden: 44,700 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $768,000.
    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

[[Page 17878]]

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.
