From June 2000 to August 2004, the 

Commission adopted various 

rulemakings in which a winning bidder 

seeking a bidding credit to serve a 

qualifying tribal land within a particular 

market must: 

• Indicate on the long-form 

application (FCC Form 601) that it 

intends to serve a qualifying tribal land 

within that market; 

• Within 180 days after the filing 

deadline for the long-form application, 

amend its long-form application to 

identify the tribal land it intends to 

serve and attach a certification from the 

tribal government stating that: 

(a) The tribal government authorizes 

the winning bidder to site facilities and 

provide service on its tribal land; 

(b) The tribal area to be served by the 

winning bidder constitutes qualifying 

tribal land; 

(c) The tribal government has not and 

will not enter into an exclusive contract 

with the applicant precluding entry by 

other carriers, and will not 

unreasonably discriminate among 

wireless carriers seeking to provide 

service on the qualifying tribal land; and 

(d) Provide certification of the 

telephone penetration rates 

demonstrating that the tribal land has a 

penetration level at or below 85 percent. 

The rulemakings also require what 

each winning bidder must do. 

In addition, it also requires that a 

winning bidder seeking a credit in 

excess of the amount calculated under 

the Commission’s bidding credit must 

submit certain information; and a final 

winning bidder receiving a higher credit 

must provide within 15 days of the third 

anniversary of the initial grant of its 

license, file a certification that the credit 

amount was spent on infrastructure to 

provide wireless coverage to qualifying 

tribal lands, which also includes a final 

report prepared by an independent 

auditor verifying that the infrastructure 

costs are reasonable to comply with our 

build-out requirements.

Communications Commission (FCC or

public and other Federal agencies to 

take this opportunity to comment on the 

following information collection. 

Comments are requested concerning: 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper

OMB Control Number: 3060–0748. 

Title: Section 64.1504, 64.1509, 

64.1510 Pay-Per-Call and Other 

Information Services. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 5,125 respondents; 5,175 

responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 2 to 

260 hours. 

Frequency of Response: Annual and 

on occasion reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements; Third 

party disclosure requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. The statutory 

authority(s) for the information 

collection is found at 47 U.S.C. 

228(c)(7)–(10); Public Law 192–556, 106 

stat. 4181 (1992), codified at 47 U.S.C. 

228 (The Telephone Disclosure and 

Dispute Resolution Act of 1992). 

Total Annual Burden: 47,750 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: None. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

An assurance of confidentiality is not 

offered because this information 

collection does not require the 

collection of personally identifiable 

information from individuals. 

Privacy Impact Assessment: No 

impact(s). 

Needs and Uses: 47 CFR 64.1504 of 

the Commission’s rules incorporates the 

requirements of Sections 228(c)(7)–(10) 

of the Communications Act restricting 

the manner in which toll-free numbers 

may be used to charge telephone 

subscribers for information services. 

Common carriers may not charge a 

calling party for information conveyed 

on a toll-free number call, unless the 

calling party: (1) Has executed a written 

agreement that specifies the material 

terms and conditions under which the 

information is provided, or (2) pays for 

the information by means of a prepaid 

account, credit, debit, charge, or calling 

card and the information service 

provider gives the calling party an 

introductory message disclosing the cost 

and other terms and conditions for the 

service. The disclosure requirements are 

intended to ensure that consumers 

know when charges will be levied for 

calls to toll-free numbers and are able to 

obtain information necessary to make 

informed choices about whether to 

purchase toll-free information services. 

47 CFR 64.1509 of the Commission 

rules incorporates the requirements of 

47 U.S.C. (c)(2) and 228 (d)(2)–(3) of the 

Communications Act. Common carriers 

that assign telephone numbers to payper-call services must disclose to all 

interested parties, upon request, a list of 

all assigned pay-per-call numbers. For 

each assigned number, carriers must 

also make available: (1) A description of 

the pay-per-call services; (2) the total 

cost per minute or other fees associated 

with the service; and (3) the service 

provider’s name, business address, and 

telephone number. In addition, carriers 

handling pay-per-call services must 

establish a toll-free number that 

consumers may call to receive 

information about pay-per-call services. 

Finally, the Commission requires 

carriers to provide statements of payper-call rights and responsibilities to 

new telephone subscribers at the time 

service is established and, although not 

required by statute, to all subscribers 

annually. 

Under 47 CFR 64.1510 of the 

Commission’s rules, telephone bills 

containing charges for interstate payper-call and other information services 

must include information detailing 

consumers’ rights and responsibilities 

with respect to these charges. 

Specifically, telephone bills carrying 

pay-per-call charges must include a 

consumer notification stating that: (1) 

The charges are for non-communication 

services; (2) local and long distance 

telephone services may not be 

disconnected for failure to pay per-call 

charges; (3) pay-per-call (900 number) 

blocking is available upon request; and 

(4) access to pay-per-call services may 

be involuntarily blocked for failure to 

pay per-call charges. In addition, each 

call billed must show the type of 

services, the amount of the charge, and 

the date, time, and duration of the call. 

Finally, the bill must display a toll-free 

number which subscribers may call to 

obtain information about pay-per-call 

services. Similar billing disclosure 

requirements apply to charges for 

information services either billed to 

subscribers on a collect basis or 

accessed by subscribers through a tollfree number. The billing disclosure 

requirements are intended to ensure that 

telephone subscribers billed for pay-percall or other information services can 

understand the charges levied and are 

informed of their rights and 

responsibilities with respect to payment 

of such charges.
