FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Submitted for 
Review to the Office of Management and Budget, Comments Requested

May 15, 2008.
SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission invites the general 
public and other Federal agencies to comment on the following 
information collection(s). 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 will have practical utility; (b) the accuracy 
of the Commission's burden estimate; (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. An agency may not conduct or 
sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently 
valid OMB control number. No person shall be subject to any penalty for 
failing to comply with a collection of information subject to the 
Paperwork Reduction Act that does not display a valid OMB control 
number.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before June 20, 
2008. If you anticipate that you will be submitting PRA comments, but 
find it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this 
notice, you should advise the FCC contact listed below as soon as 
possible.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments to Nicholas A. Fraser, Office of 
Management and Budget (e-mail address:nfraser@omb.eop.gov), and to the 
Federal Communications Commission's PRA mailbox (e-mail address: 
PRA@fcc.gov). Include in the e-mails the OMB control number of the 
collection as shown in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section below or,

comments by e-mail contact the person listed below to make alternate

    Total Annual Cost: $620,000.00.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission is not

FCC. Respondents may, however, request confidential treatment for 
information they believe to be confidential under 47 CFR Section 0.459 
of the Commission's rules.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission's Common Carrier Bureau adopted and 
released a Memorandum Opinion and Order, Implementation of the Pay 
Telephone Reclassification and Compensation Provisions of the 
Telecommunications Act of 1996 et al., CC Docket No. 96-128, DA 98-481, 
on March 9, 1998, which clarified the requirements established in the 
Payphones Orders for the provision of payphone-specific coding digits 
and for tariffs that local exchange carriers (LECs) must file pursuant 
to the Payphone Orders. The Commission also granted a waiver of Part 69 
of the Commission's rules so that LECs can establish rate elements to 
recover the costs of implementing FLEX-ANI (a type of switch software) 
to provide payphone specific coding digits for per-call compensation. 
The Commission is required to implement section 276 of the Act, which 
it has done in the Payphone Orders.

Federal Communications Commission.
