Review to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Comments Requested

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden invites the general public

collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e) 
ways to further reduce the information burden for small business 
concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
    The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control No: 3060-0719.
     Title: Quarterly Report of IntraLATA Carriers Listing Payphone 
Automatic Number Identifications (ANIs).
     Form No.: N/A.
     Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
     Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
     Number of Respondents: 400 respondents; 1,600 responses.
     Estimated Time Per Response: 3.5 hours (8 hours for initial 
submission; 2 hours per subsequent submission - for an average of 3.5 
hours per response).
     Frequency of Response: Quarterly reporting requirement, 
recordkeeping requirement and third party disclosure requirement.
     Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. Statutory authority for this 
collection of information is contained in 47 U.S.C. sections 151, 154, 
201-205, 215,218, 219, 220, 226 and 276.
     Total Annual Burden: 5,600 hours.
     Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
     Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission is not 
requesting respondents to submit confidential information to the 
Commission. If the respondent wishes confidential treatment of their 
information, they may request confidential treatment under 47 CFR 0.459 
of the Commission's rules.
     Need and Uses: The Commission is submitting this expiring 
information collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in 
order to obtain the full three year clearance from them. There is no 
change in the reporting, recordkeeping and/or third party disclosure 
requirements.
    Pursuant to the mandate in section 276(b)(1)(A) of the 
Telecommunications Act of 1996 to ``establish a per call compensation 
plan to ensure that all payphone service providers are fairly 
compensated for each and every completed intrastate and interstate 
call.'' IntraLATA carriers are required to provide to interexchange 
carriers (IXCs) a quarterly report listing payphone ANIs. Without 
provision of this report, resolution of disputed ANIs would be rendered 
very difficult. IXCs would not be able to discern which ANIs pertain to 
payphones and therefore would not be able to ascertain which dial-
around calls were originated by payphones for compensation purposes. 
There would be no way to guard against possible fraud. Without this 
collection, lengthy investigations would be necessary to verify claims. 
The report allows IXCs to determine which dial-around calls are made 
from payphones. The data which must be maintained for at least 18 
months after the close of the compensation period, will facilitate 
verification of disputed ANIs.
