In December 2000, the President delegated responsibility for funding, staffing, and operating the Advisory Board to HHS, which subsequently delegated this PO 00000 Frm 00070 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 9990 authority to the CDC. NIOSH implements this responsibility for CDC. The charter was issued on August 3, 2001, renewed at appropriate intervals, and rechartered under Executive Order 13179 on March 22, 2024.

of Marketing Practices, Bureau of Consumer Protection, Federal Trade 
Commission, Mail Code CC-6316, 600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Trade Regulation Rule Pursuant to the 
Telephone Disclosure and Dispute Resolution Act of 1992 (Pay-Per-Call 
Rule), 16 CFR part 308.
    OMB Control Number: 3084-0102.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: The existing reporting and disclosure requirements of the 
Pay-Per-Call Rule are mandated by the Telephone Disclosure and Dispute 
Resolution Act of 1992 (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 telephone-billed 
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 non-toll charges on their telephone bills, and how to deal 
with disputes about telephone-billed purchases.
    Likely Respondents: telecommunications common carriers (subject to 
the reporting requirement only, unless acting as a billing entity), 
information providers (vendors) offering one or more pay-per-call 
services or programs, and billing entities.
    Estimated Annual Hours Burden: 949,536 hours (24 + 949,512).
    Reporting: 24 hours for reporting by common carriers.

acting as billing entity) + 13,000 burden hours for dispute resolution 
procedures in billing statements (applies to billing entities) + 
890,600 hours for disclosures related to consumers reporting a billing 
error (applies to billing entities)].

costs).\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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).
