SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As part of 

its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork burdens, as required by the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), the FCC invited 

the general public and other Federal 

Agencies to take this opportunity to 

comment on the following information 

collection. Comments are requested 

concerning: (a) Whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Commission, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

Commission’s burden estimates; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information collected; and

Pursuant to the Small Business 

Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, Public 

Law 107–198, see 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(4), 

the FCC seeks specific comment on how 

it might ‘‘further reduce the information 

collection burden for small business 

concerns with fewer than 25 

employees.’’

Title: Part 64, Modernization of 

Payphone Compensation Rules, et al., 

WC Docket No. 17–141, et al. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 216 respondents; 1,456 

responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 0.50– 

122 hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion, 

one-time, and quarterly reporting 

requirements; third party disclosure 

requirements; and recordkeeping 

requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this information collection 

is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151, 154 and 

276. 

Total Annual Burden: 22,524 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: No cost. 

Needs and Uses: Section 276 of the 

Communications Act, as amended (the 

Act), requires that the Federal 

Communications Commission 

(Commission or FCC) establish rules 

ensuring that payphone service 

providers or PSPs are ‘‘fairly 

compensated’’ for each and every 

completed payphone-originated call. 

The Commission’s Payphone 

Compensation Rules satisfy section 276 

by identifying the party liable for 

compensation and establishing a 

mechanism for PSPs to be paid. A 2003 

Report and Order (FCC 03–235) 

established detailed rules (Payphone 

Compensation Rules) ensuring that 

payphone service providers or PSPs are 

‘‘fairly compensated’’ for each and every 

completed payphone-originated call 

pursuant to section 276 of the 

Communications Act, as amended (the 

Act), which the Commission revised in 

a 2018 Report and Order (FCC 18–21). 

The Payphone Compensation Rules 

satisfy section 276 by identifying the 

party liable for compensation and 

establishing a mechanism for PSPs to be 

paid. The Payphone Compensation 

Rules: (1) place liability to compensate 

PSPs for payphone-originated calls on 

the facilities-based long distance 

carriers or switch-based resellers (SBRs) 

from whose switches such calls are 

completed; (2) define these responsible 

carriers as ‘‘Completing Carriers’’ and 

require them to develop their own 

system of tracking calls to completion; 

(3) require Completing Carriers to file 

with PSPs a quarterly report and also 

submit an attestation by a company 

official, including but not limited to the 

chief financial officer (CFO), that the 

payment amount for that quarter is 

accurate and is based on 100% of all 

completed calls; (4) require quarterly 

reporting obligations for other facilitiesbased long distance carriers in the call 

path, if any, and define these carriers as 

‘‘Intermediate Carriers;’’ and (5) give 

parties flexibility to agree to alternative 

compensation arrangements (ACA) so 

that small Completing Carriers may 

avoid the expense of instituting a 

tracking system. The revisions adopted 

in the 2018 Report and Order 

significantly decreased the paperwork 

burden on carriers.
