Implementing the Telephone Consumer
Protection Act of 1991, Order, CG
Docket No. 02–278.
Form No.: N/A.
Estimated Annual Burden:
135,607,383 responses; .004 (15
seconds) to 3 hours per response;
708,806 total annual hourly burden.
Needs and Uses: The reporting
requirements included under OMB
Control Number 3060–0519 enable the
Commission to gather information
regarding violations of the Do-Not-Call
Implementation Act (Do-Not-Call Act).
If the information collection was not
conducted, the Commission would be
unable to track and enforce violations of
the Do-Not-Call Act. The Do-Not-Call
rules provide consumers with several
options for avoiding most unwanted
telephone solicitations.
The National Do-Not-Call Registry
supplemented company-specific do-notcall rules, though consumers may give
specific companies permission to call
them through an express written
agreement even if such consumers have
registered with the National Do-Not-Call
Registry. Nonprofit organizations,
companies with whom consumers have
an established business relationship,

telephones available to the public or
transient users of their premises under

64.703(b) must post in writing, on or
near such phones, information about
pre-subscribed operator services, rates,
carrier access, and the FCC address to
which consumers may direct
complaints. Section 64.703(c) of the
Commission’s rules establishes a 30-day
outer limit for updating the posted
consumer information when an
aggregator has changed the presubscribed operator service provider
(OSP). Consumers will use this
information to determine whether they
wish to use the services of the identified

any complaint procedure, a certain
number of regulatory and information
burdens are necessary to ensure
compliance with FCC rules. The
information collection requirements
also give full effect to the accessibility
policies embodied in section 255, by
requiring telecommunications
equipment manufacturers and service
providers to make end-user product
documentation available in alternate
formats, including providing contact

reports to the Commission, in a
narrative form, detailing: (1) The
provider’s plan or general approach to
meet the waived standards; (2) any
additional costs that would be required

that may affect the particular waivers;
(4) the progress made by the provider to
