Information, 64.709 Informational
Tariffs, and 64.710 Operator Services for
Prison Inmate Phones.
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.

Synopsis of the Notice of Inquiry
1. 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.
