Abstract: The existing reporting and
disclosure requirements of the Pay-PerCall Rule are mandated by the TDDRA
to help prevent unfair and deceptive
acts and practices in the advertising and
operation of pay-per-call services and in
the collection of charges for telephonebilled purchases. The information
obtained by the Commission pursuant to
the reporting requirement is used for
law enforcement purposes. The
disclosure requirements ensure that
consumers are told about the costs of
using a pay-per-call service, that they
will not be liable for unauthorized nontoll charges on their telephone bills, and
how to deal with disputes about
telephone-billed purchases.
On February 1, 2012, the Commission
sought comment on the information
collection requirements in the Pay-PerCall Rule. 77 FR 5017. No comments
were received. As required by OMB

providing this second opportunity for
public comment.
Likely Respondents:

(subject to the reporting requirement
only, unless acting as a billing entity),

Request For Comment
You can file a comment online or on
paper. For the Commission to consider
your comment, we must receive it on or
before May 24, 2012. Write ‘‘Pay-PerCall Rule: FTC File No. R611016’’ on
your comment. Your comment—
including your name and your state—
will be placed on the public record of
this proceeding, including, to the extent
practicable, on the public Commission
Web site, at https://www.ftc.gov/os/
publiccomments.shtm. As a matter of
discretion, the Commission tries to
remove individuals’ home contact
information from comments before
placing them on the Commission Web
site.
Because your comment will be made
public, you are solely responsible for
making sure that your comment does
not include any sensitive personal
information, like anyone’s Social
Security number, date of birth, driver’s
license number or other state
identification number or foreign country
equivalent, passport number, financial
account number, or credit or debit card
number. You are also solely responsible
for making sure that your comment
doesn’t include any sensitive health
information, like medical records or
other individually identifiable health
information. In addition, don’t include
any ‘‘[t]rade secret or any commercial or
financial information which is obtained
from any person and which is privileged
or confidential * * *, ’’ as provided in
Section 6(f) of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C.
46(f), and FTC Rule 4.10(a)(2), 16 CFR
4.10(a)(2). In particular, don’t include
competitively sensitive information
such as costs, sales statistics,
inventories, formulas, patterns, devices,
manufacturing processes, or customer
names.
1 Non-labor (e.g., capital/other start-up) costs are
generally subsumed in activities otherwise
undertaken in the ordinary course of business (e.g.,
business records from which only existing
information must be reported to the Commission,
pay-per-call advertisements or audiotext to which
cost or other disclosures are added, etc.). To the
extent that entities incur operating or maintenance
expenses, or purchase outside services to satisfy the
Rule’s requirements, staff believe those expenses
are also included in (or, if contracted out, would be
comparable to) the annual burden hour and cost
estimates provided below (where such costs are
labor-related), or are otherwise included in the
ordinary cost of doing business (regarding non-labor
costs).

Abstract: The Office of Research

This study is web-based survey of

The study seeks to answer two
questions: (a) Do researchers feel that
this DVD would enhance their teaching
of research integrity issues? (b) Will
researchers use this DVD in future
research methodology or ethics courses?
Both hypotheses will be tested with a
customer satisfaction type survey. A
portion of the survey will collect data
on respondent demographics to enable
subanalyses on important
subpopulations. Participants will be
