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

Fmt 4703

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.
