Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
An assurance of confidentiality is not

Needs and Uses: 47 CFR 64.1504 of
the Commission’s rules incorporates the
requirements of Sections 228(c)(7)–(10)
of the Communications Act restricting
the manner in which toll–free numbers
may be used to charge telephone
subscribers for information services.
Common carriers may not charge a
calling party for information conveyed
on a toll–free number call, unless the
calling party: (1) has executed a written
agreement that specifies the material
terms and conditions under which the
information is provided, or (2) pays for
the information by means of a prepaid
account, credit, debit, charge, or calling
card and the information service
provider gives the calling party an
introductory message disclosing the cost
and other terms and conditions for the
service. The disclosure requirements are
intended to ensure that consumers
know when charges will be levied for
calls to toll–free numbers and are able
to obtain information necessary to make
informed choices about whether to
purchase toll–free information services.
47 CFR 64.1509 of the Commission
rules incorporates the requirements of
47 U.S.C. (c)(2) and 228 (d)(2)–(3) of the
Communications Act. Common carriers
that assign telephone numbers to pay–
per–call services must disclose to all
interested parties, upon request, a list of
all assigned pay–per–call numbers. For
each assigned number, carriers must
also make available: (1) a description of
the pay–per–call services; (2) the total
cost per minute or other fees associated
with the service; and (3) the service
provider’s name, business address, and
telephone number. In addition, carriers
handling pay–per–call services must
establish a toll–free number that
consumers may call to receive
PO 00000
Frm 00032
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
information about pay–per–call
services. Finally, the Commission
requires carriers to provide statements
of pay–per–call rights and
responsibilities to new telephone
subscribers at the time service is
established and, although not required
by statute, to all subscribers annually.
Under 47 CFR 64.1510 of the
Commission’s rules, telephone bills
containing charges for interstate pay–
per–call and other information services
must include information detailing
consumers’ rights and responsibilities
with respect to these charges.
Specifically, telephone bills carrying
pay–per–call charges must include a
consumer notification stating that: (1)
the charges are for non–communication
services; (2) local and long distance
telephone services may not be
disconnected for failure to pay per–call
charges; (3) pay–per–call (900 number)
blocking is available upon request; and
(4) access to pay–per–call services may
be involuntarily blocked for failure to
pay per–call charges. In addition, each
call billed must show the type of
services, the amount of the charge, and
the date, time, and duration of the call.
Finally, the bill must display a toll–free
number which subscribers may call to
obtain information about pay–per–call
services. Similar billing disclosure
requirements apply to charges for
information services either billed to
subscribers on a collect basis or
accessed by subscribers through a toll–
free number. The billing disclosure
requirements are intended to ensure that
telephone subscribers billed for pay–
per–call or other information services
can understand the charges levied and
are informed of their rights and
responsibilities with respect to payment
of such charges.
