Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 201 / Wednesday, October 18, 2006 / Notices
The Commission is requesting review
and approval of a new information
collection requiring prepaid calling card
providers to report quarterly the
percentage of interstate, intrastate and
international traffic and call volumes to
carriers from which they purchase
transport services. Prepaid calling card
providers must also file certifications
with the Commission quarterly that
include the above information and a
statement that they are contributing to
the federal Universal Service Fund
(USF) based on all interstate and
international revenue, except for
revenue from the sale of prepaid calling
cards by, to, or pursuant to contract
with Department of Defense (DoD) or a
DoD entity.
The Commission has found that
prepaid calling card providers are
telecommunications service providers
and therefore are subject to all of the
regulations imposed on
telecommunications service providers,
including contributing to the USF. The
new reporting requirements will allow
the Commission to ensure that prepaid
calling card providers are complying
with the requirements of section 254(d)
of the Telecommunications Act of 1996.

Secretary.

health care services, and connect those
networks to Internet2, a dedicated
nationwide backbone. The construction
of such networks will bring the benefits
of innovative telehealth, and

those areas of the country where the
need for those benefits is most acute.
The pilot program is designed to
encourage health care providers to join
together to aggregate their needs and
develop a strategy for creating statewide
and/or regional networks that will
connect numerous health care
providers, including rural health care
providers, through a dedicated,
broadband network. The pilot program
will fund up to 85% of the costs
incurred to deploy state or regional
broadband networks dedicated to health
care. The pilot program will also fund
up to 85% of the costs of connecting the
regional and/or statewide to Internet2, a
dedicated nationwide backbone that
connects a number of government
research institutions, as well as
academic, public, and private health
care institutions that are repositories of
medical expertise and information. The
information collected will enable the
Commission to select participants for
the Pilot Program.
