requirements concerning verification of
a consumer’s intent to switch carriers.
The Fourth Report and Order
modified the information collection
requirements contained in
64.1120(c)(3)(iii) to provide for
verifications to elicit ‘‘confirmation that
the person on the call understands that
a carrier change, not an upgrade to
existing service, bill consolidation, or
any other misleading description of the
transaction, is being authorized.’’
