Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: An assurance of confidentiality is not offered because this information collection does not require the collection of personally identifiable information from individuals. Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s). Needs and Uses: Pursuant to 47 CFR 64.703(a), Operator Service Providers (OSPs) are required to 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.

In this Notice of Inquiry (the Notice) the Commission considers whether additional or modified rules are needed to address the problem of fraudulent 911 calls made from NSI handsets. Specifically, the Notice seeks comment on the extent of the misuse of NSI handsets, and seeks survey, and other evidence, that will allow the Commission to make this determination. The Notice also seeks comment on problems with the present call-blocking solution, including problems involved with roaming callers, other technical concerns related to blocking fraudulent 911 calls from NSI handsets, potential solutions to these technical problems, and concerns regarding legal liability connected with blocking such calls. Finally the Notice seeks to ascertain the viability of other potential solutions to the problem, including further call-back capabilities for NSI devices, elimination of call-forwarding requirements for NSI devices, and requiring carriers’ donation programs to provide service-initialized phones.
