for a refund of all charges paid to the

unauthorized carrier. Pursuant to

Section 64.1170(f), where possible, the

properly authorized carrier must

reinstate the subscriber in any premium

program in which that subscriber was

enrolled prior to the unauthorized

change, if the subscriber’s participation

in that program was terminated because

of the unauthorized change. If the

subscriber has paid charges to the

unauthorized carrier, the properly

authorized carrier shall also provide or

restore to the subscriber any premiums

to which the subscriber would have

been entitled had the unauthorized

change not occurred. The authorized

carrier must comply with the

requirements of this section regardless

of whether it is able to recover from the

unauthorized carrier any charges that

were paid by the subscriber. (No. of

respondents: 1960; hours per response:

7 hours; total annual burden: 13,720

hours). h. Section 64.1190, Preferred

Carrier Freezes. Section 64.1190

requires that all local exchange carriers

that impose preferred carrier freezes on

their subscribers’ accounts must verify

such freezes, as well as accept

subscriber requests to lift such freezes in

writing or by three-way calls. (No. of

respondents: 1800; hours per response:

2 hours; total annual burden: 3600

hours). i. Section 1.719, Informal

Complaints Filed Pursuant to Section

258—Section 1.719 applies to

complaints alleging that a carrier has

violated Section 258 of the

Communications Act of 1934, as

amended by the Telecommunications

Act of 1996, by making an unauthorized

change of a subscriber’s preferred

carrier, as defined by § 64.1100(e).

Pursuant to Section 1.719(b), the

complaint shall be in writing, and

should contain: (1) The complainant’s

name, address, telephone number and email address (if the complainant has

one); (2) the name of both the allegedly

unauthorized carrier, as defined by

§ 64.1100(d), and authorized carrier, as

defined by § 64.1100(c); (3) a complete

statement of the facts (including any

documentation) tending to show that

such carrier engaged in an unauthorized

change of the subscriber’s preferred

carrier; (4) a statement of whether the

complainant has paid any disputed

charges to the allegedly unauthorized

carrier; and (5) the specific relief sought.

If the complainant is unsatisfied with

the resolution of a complaint under this

section, the complainant may file a

formal complaint with the Commission

in the form specified in § 1.721 of this

part. (No. of respondents: 13,200; hours

per response: 4 hours; total annual

burden: 52,800 hours). j. Voluntary

Reporting Requirement. States that

choose to administer the Commission’s

slamming rules must regularly file

information with the Commission that

details slamming activity in their

regions. Such filings should identify the

number of slamming complaints

handled, including data on the number

of valid complaints per carrier; the

identity of top slamming carriers;

slamming trends; and other relevant

information. See paragraph 34 of the

Order. (Number of respondents: 51;

hours per response: 10 hours; total

annual burden: 510 hours). The

information from these collections will

be used to implement Section 258 of the

Act. The information will strengthen the

ability of our rules to deter slamming,

while addressing concerns raised with

respect to our previous administrative

procedures. The information will also

enable us to give victims of slamming

adequate redress and ensure that

carriers that slam do not profit from

their fraud. Finally, the information will

help to protect consumers from carriers

who may attempt to take advantage of

consumer confusion over different types

of telecommunications services.

Obligation to respond: Required to

obtain or retain benefits.

Public reporting burden for the

collection of information 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
