In the Order, the Commission established rules to combat extensive problems with successfully completing calls to rural areas, and created a framework to improve the ability to monitor call problems and take appropriate enforcement action. In the Order, the Commission denies several petitions for reconsideration that, if granted, would impair the Commission’s ability to monitor, and take enforcement action against, call completion problems. The Commission does, however, grant one petition for reconsideration because the Commission finds that modifying its original determination will significantly lower providers’ compliance costs and burdens without impairing the Commission’s ability to obtain reliable and extensive information about rural call completion problems. This rule corrects an amendment that contains new or modified information collection requirements that will not be effective until approved by the Office of Management and Budget.

Rural Call Completion

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Commission published in the Federal Register of December 
10, 2014, a document concerning an Order on Reconsideration (Order) 
affirming the Commission's commitment to ensuring that high quality 
telephone service must be available to all Americans. In the Order, the 
Commission established rules to combat extensive problems with 
successfully completing calls to rural areas, and created a framework 
to improve the ability to monitor call problems and take appropriate 
enforcement action. In the Order, the Commission denies several 
petitions for reconsideration that, if granted, would impair the 
Commission's ability to monitor, and take enforcement action against, 
call completion problems. The Commission does, however, grant one 
petition for reconsideration because the Commission finds that 
modifying its original determination will significantly lower 
providers' compliance costs and burdens without impairing the 
Commission's ability to obtain reliable and extensive information about 
rural call completion problems.

DATES: This rule corrects an amendment that contains new or modified 
information collection requirements that will not be effective until 
approved by the Office of Management and Budget. The Federal 
Communications Commission will publish a document in the Federal 
Register announcing the effective date.
