information collection after this
comment period to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
approval of an extension request.
From June 2000 to August 2004, the
Commission adopted various
rulemakings in which a winning bidder
seeking a bidding credit to serve a
qualifying tribal land within a particular
market must:
• Indicate on the long-form
application (FCC Form 601) that it
intends to serve a qualifying tribal land
within that market;
• Within 180 days after the filing
deadline for the long-form application,
amend its long-form application to
identify the tribal land it intends to
serve and attach a certification from the
tribal government stating that:
(a) The tribal government authorizes
the winning bidder to site facilities and
provide service on its tribal land;
(b) The tribal area to be served by the
winning bidder constitutes qualifying
tribal land;
(c) The tribal government has not and
will not enter into an exclusive contract
with the applicant precluding entry by
other carriers, and will not
unreasonably discriminate among
wireless carriers seeking to provide
service on the qualifying tribal land; and
(d) Provide certification of the
telephone penetration rates
demonstrating that the tribal land has a
penetration level at or below 85 percent.
The rulemakings also require what
each winning bidder must do.
In addition, it also requires that a
winning bidder seeking a credit in
excess of the amount calculated under
the Commission’s bidding credit must
submit certain information; and a final
winning bidder receiving a higher credit
must provide within 15 days of the third
anniversary of the initial grant of its
license, file a certification that the credit
amount was spent on infrastructure to
provide wireless coverage to qualifying
tribal lands, which also includes a final
report prepared by an independent
auditor verifying that the infrastructure
costs are reasonable to comply with our
build-out requirements.

228(c)(7)–(10); Public Law 192–556, 106
stat. 4181 (1992), codified at 47 U.S.C.
228 (The Telephone Disclosure and
Dispute Resolution Act of 1992).
Total Annual Burden: 47,750 hours.
Total Annual Cost: None.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
An assurance of confidentiality is not
offered because this information
collection does not require the
collection of personally identifiable
information from individuals.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
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 payper-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
information about pay-per-call services.
Finally, the Commission requires
carriers to provide statements of payper-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 payper-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 tollfree number. The billing disclosure
requirements are intended to ensure that
telephone subscribers billed for pay-percall or other information services can
understand the charges levied and are
informed of their rights and
responsibilities with respect to payment
of such charges.
