FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS

COMMISSION

Public Information Collections

Approved by Office of Management

and Budget

May 5, 2000.

The Federal Communications

Commission (FCC) has received Office

of Management and Budget (OMB)

approval for the following public

information collections pursuant to the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,

Public Law 104–13. An agency may not

conduct or sponsor and a person is not

required to respond to a collection of

information unless it displays a

currently valid control number. For

further information contact Shoko B.

Hair, Federal Communications

Commission (202) 418–1379.

Federal Communications Commission

OMB Control No.: 3060–0737.

Expiration Date: 03/31/2003.

Title: Disclosure Requirements for

Information Services Provided Under a

Presubscription of Comparable

Arrangement.

Form No.: N/A.

Respondents: Business or other for

profit.

Estimated Annual Burden: 1,000

respondents; 5 hours per response

(avg.); 5,000 total annual burden hours

for this collection.

Estimated Annual Reporting and

Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $0.

Frequency of Response: On occasion;

Third Party Disclosure.

Description: Section 228 of the

Communications Act of 1934, as

amended, implements rules governing

common carriers’ transmission of and

billing and collection for interstate payper-call and other information services.

The statutory requirements are codified

in Part 64 of the Commission’s rules.

Pursuant to Section 64.1501(b),

presubscription is a contractual

agreement between an informed

consumer and an information provider

for the purchase of information services.

Under Section 64.1501(b), an

information provider must disclose the

following information to a consumer to

establish a valid presubscription

arrangement: ‘‘all material terms and

conditions associated with the use of

the service, including the service

provider’s name and address, a business

telephone number which the consumer

may use to obtain additional

information or to register a complaint,

and the rates for the service,* * * any

future rate changes, * * * [and] an

identification number or other means to

prevent unauthorized access to the

service by nonsubscribers * * * ’’ 47

CFR 64.1501(b). All prescription

arrangements must be executed in

writing or, alternatively, through

payment by direct remittance, prepaid

account, or debit, credit, charge, or

calling card. The purpose of the

information collection is to ensure that

consumers receive enough information

to make an informed decision whether

to subscribe to an information service.

The Commission believes that past

acts of widespread deception and abuse

involving provision of information

services, warrant safeguards such as

these to guard against future efforts to

evade federal pay-per-call regulations.

Obligation to Respond: Mandatory

Public burden for the collection is as

noted above. Send comments regarding

the burden estimate or any other aspect

of the collections of information,

including suggestions for reducing the

burden to Performance Evaluation and

Records Management, Washington, DC

20554.
