Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) related
information collection requirements
under this OMB Control Number.
Following the passage of the
Telecommunications Act of 1996, the
Commission adopted interstate access
charge and universal service support
reforms. The reforms were designed to
establish a ‘‘pro-competitive,
deregulatory national policy
framework’’ for the United States
telecommunications industry, and to
carry out the universal service policies
embodied in the 1996 Act. Specifically,
the Commission aligned the interstate
access rate structure more closely with
the manner in which costs are incurred,
and created a universal service support
mechanism for rate-of-return carriers
(Interstate Common Line Support
(ICLS)) to replace implicit support in
interstate access charges with explicit
support that is portable to all eligible

telecommunications carriers. The
Commission’s actions were also tailored
to the needs of small and mid-sized
local telephone companies serving rural
and high-cost areas, and help to provide
certainty and stability for rate-of-return
carriers, encourage investment in rural
America, and provide important
consumer benefits. To administer the
ICLS mechanism, the Administrator
must collect certain data. Specifically,
the Administrator must collect from
each rate-of-return carrier projected cost
and revenue data for the July 1–June 30
funding year to accurately distribute
prospective ICLS to those carriers. Line
count data is reported on FCC Form 507.
Projected cost data, including cost and
revenue data is filed on FCC Form 508.
And, the actual data, including cost and
revenue data is reported on FCC Form
509.

Privacy Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission is not requesting
respondents to submit confidential

Commission issued a Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)
concerning certain provisions in the
Telecommunications Act of 1996 (‘‘the
Act’’), including section 251. Section
251 is designed to accelerate private
sector development and deployment of
telecommunications technologies and
services by spurring competition. The
Commission adopted rules and
regulations designed to implement
certain provisions of section 251, and to
eliminate operational barriers to
competition in the telecommunications
services markets.

requests that carriers or providers
submit information which they believe
is confidential, the carriers or providers
may request confidential treatment of
their information under 47 CFR Section

Needs and Uses: The Commission
established a plan to ensure that

payphone service providers (PSPs) were
compensated for certain non-coin calls
originated from their payphones. As
part of this plan, the Commission
required that by October 7, 1997, local
exchange carriers were to provide
payphone-specific coding digits to PSPs,
and that PSPs were to provide those
digits from their payphones to
interexchange carriers. The provision of
payphone-specific coding digits was a
prerequisite to payphone per-call
compensation payments by IXCs to
PSPs for subscriber 800 and access code
calls. The Commission’s Wireline
Competition Bureau subsequently
provided a waiver until March 9, 1998,
for those payphones for which the
necessary coding digits were not
provided to identify calls. The Bureau
also on that date clarified the
requirements established in the
Payphone Orders for the provision of
payphone-specific coding digits and for
tariffs that LECs must file pursuant to
the Payphone Orders.
