Section 228 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, establishes federal requirements governing common carriers' billing and collection for interstate pay-per-call and other information services. These statutory requirements are codified - often virtually verbatim - in Part 64 of the Commission's rules, 47 CFR Part 64.
The collection is necessary to implement the requirements of 47 U.S.C. 228. Due to the combining of all three Pay-Per-Call information collections into (this) one, previous burden estimates are expected to increase and have been recalculated:
(a) The total number of respondents will increase from 3,750 to 5,125 respondents;
(b) The total number of responses will increase from 3,750 to 5,175 responses annually and
(c) The total annual hourly burden will increase from 10,500 hours to 47,750 hours to comply with the disclosure requirements contained in 47 CFR §§ 64.1504, 64.1509, and 64.1510 of the CommissionÂs rules.
These increases are program changes to this collection due to the Commission removing the burden hours and requirements from collections 3060-0749 and 3060-0752 and consolidating them into this collection (3060-0748).
There are no adjustments to this collection.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
