Implementation of Subscriber
Carrier Selection Changes Provisions of the Telecommunications Act
of 1996; Policies and Rules Concerning Unauthorized Changes of
Consumers' Long Distance...
Extension without change of a currently approved collection
The goal of section 258 is to
eliminate the practice of "slamming", which is the unauthorized
change of a subscriber's preferred carrier. The revisions and
additions adopted in the attached Third Order on Reconsideration
and Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking will improve the
carrier change process for consumers and carriers alike, while
making it more difficult for unscrupulous carriers to peretrate
slams.

In the previous submission, the
Commission miscalculated the total annual hourly burden for some of
the components of the information collection requirements. The
Commission has recalculated the number of respondents, total annual
hourly costs, and number of responses due to the Commissions
re-estimation of the various hourly burdens for the existing
information collection requirements. Due to this re-estimation: (a)
The Commissions estimated number of respondents has decreased from
35,036 respondents to 25,041 respondents;(b) the Commissions
estimated number of responses has decreased from 35,036 responses
to 25,041 responses;(c) the Commissions estimated total annual
burden hours have decreased from 146,794 to 105,901 hours;
and(d)the Commissions estimated total cost burden has increased
from $51,187,500 to $51,285,000. There are no program changes to
this information collection.
