traffic in a basic Session Initiation 

Protocol (SIP) format to NG911 Delivery 

Points designated by the 911 Authority 

in the 911 Authority’s state or territory, 

and complete connectivity testing. In 

Phase 2, OSPs will be required to 

deliver 911 traffic in SIP format that 

complies with NG911 commonly 

accepted standards to NG911 Delivery 

Points designated by the 911 Authority 

in the 911 Authority’s state or territory, 

install and put into operation all 

necessary equipment, software, and 

other infrastructure, and complete 

connectivity testing. For each phase, 

OSPs must meet certain implementation 

deadlines. OSPs must bear the financial 

responsibility for such transmission, 

including costs associated with 

completing any needed TDM-to-IP 

translation and the costs of delivering 

associated routing and location 

information in the requested IP-based 

format. 

This rulemaking necessitates three 

information collections. First, under 47 

CFR 9.31(a) and (b), 911 Authorities that 

wish to make Phase 1 or Phase 2 valid 

requests for delivery of 911 traffic in IPbased formats must provide notification 

containing certain certifications and 

information to either serving OPSs or to 

a registry to be made available by the 

Commission. 

Second, in 47 CFR 9.31(c), OSPs that 

wish to challenge 911 Authorities’ valid 

requests may submit a petition to the 

Public Safety and Homeland Security 

Bureau (PSHSB) within 60 days of the 

receipt of a Phase 1 or 2 request from 

a 911 Authority. Such challenge 

petitions must meet applicable 

procedural requirements and must be in 

the form of an affidavit that contains 

certain supporting information. The 

affected 911 Authority may file an 

opposition to the OSP’s petition, and 

parties may file replies to oppositions. 

Filing parties must serve a copy of the 

document on the other party at the time 

of filing. 

Third, in 47 CFR 9.34, 911 Authorities 

and OSPs may enter into voluntary 

mutual agreements that establish terms 

different from the Commission’s rules. 

Within 30 days of the date when any 

such agreement is executed, or 

subsequently modified or terminated, 

the participating OSP must notify the 

Commission and provide information 

about alternative terms and transition 

deadlines. 

OSPs will use the information 

collected pursuant to Section 9.31(a) 

and (b) that is submitted by 911 

Authorities to trigger their NG911 

transition obligations described in 

Section 9.29(a) and (b), respectively, 

and their NG911 implementation 

deadlines set forth in Section 9.30(a) 

and (b), respectively. OSPs will receive 

notifications either directly from 911 

Authorities, or from a registry where 

911 Authorities may submit 

notifications. To the extent that 911 

Authorities submit their valid request 

notifications in a registry made available 

by the Commission pursuant to Section 

9.31(a)(5) and (b)(6), PSHSB will use the 

information collected pursuant to 

Section 9.31(a) and (b) to monitor the 

progress of valid requests at each phase 

of the NG911 transition and to keep 

track of implementation deadlines 

associated with each valid request. 

PSHSB will use the information 

collected pursuant to Section 9.31 that 

is submitted by the OSPs in their 

petitions challenging 911 Authorities’ 

valid requests, as well as information 

submitted by 911 Authorities who file 

oppositions to such petitions and 

information submitted by OSPs who file 

replies to such oppositions, to 

determine whether to pause the 

implementation deadline for that OSP, 

affirm the request of the 911 Authority 

as valid, or take other action as 

necessary. The requirements should 

simplify the enforcement and complaint 

process for both OSPs and 911 

Authorities regarding OSPs’ 

implementation deadlines. 

In addition, the information collected 

pursuant to Section 9.34(a) and (b) 

provides the Commission with 

awareness of any changes to the 

obligations of OSPs under the rules.

1Non-labor (e.g., capital/other start-up) costs are 

generally subsumed in activities otherwise 

undertaken in the ordinary course of business (e.g., 

business records from which only existing 

information must be reported to the Commission, 

pay-per-call advertisements or audiotext to which 

cost or other disclosures are added, etc.). To the 

extent that entities incur operating or maintenance 

expenses, or purchase outside services to satisfy the 

Rule’s requirements, staff believe those expenses 

are also included in (or, if contracted out, would be 

comparable to) the annual burden hour and cost 

estimates provided below (where such costs are 

labor-related), or are otherwise included in the 

ordinary cost of doing business (regarding non-labor 

costs). 

2On November 27, 2024, the FTC filed a Notice 

to correct an incorrect date in its Notice of 

November 4, 2024; namely that the current PRA 

clearance expires on January 31, 2025, and not 

January 30, 2024. See 89 FR 93602. 

Total Annual Cost: No cost. 

Needs and Uses: Prepaid calling card 

service providers must report quarterly 

the percentage of interstate, intrastate 

and international access charges to 

carriers from which they purchase 

transport services. Prepaid calling card 

providers must also file certifications 

with the Commission quarterly that 

include the above information and a 

statement that they are contributing to 

the federal Universal Service Fund 

based on all interstate and international 

revenue, except for revenue from the 

sale of prepaid calling cards by, to, or 

pursuant to contract with the 

Department of Defense (DoD) or a DoD 

entity.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: 

Trade Regulation Rule Pursuant to the 

Telephone Disclosure and Dispute 

Resolution Act of 1992 (Pay-Per-Call 

Rule), 16 CFR part 308. 

OMB Control Number: 3084–0102. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: The existing reporting and 

disclosure requirements of the Pay-PerCall Rule are mandated by the 

Telephone Disclosure and Dispute 

Resolution Act of 1992 (TDDRA) to help 

prevent unfair and deceptive acts and 

practices in the advertising and 

operation of pay-per-call services and in 

the collection of charges for telephonebilled purchases. The information 

obtained by the Commission pursuant to 

the reporting requirement is used for 

law enforcement purposes. The 

disclosure requirements ensure that 

consumers are told about the costs of 

using a pay-per-call service, that they 

will not be liable for unauthorized nontoll charges on their telephone bills, and 

how to deal with disputes about 

telephone-billed purchases. 

Likely Respondents: 

telecommunications common carriers 

(subject to the reporting requirement 

only, unless acting as a billing entity), 

information providers (vendors) offering 

one or more pay-per-call services or 

programs, and billing entities. 

Estimated Annual Hours Burden: 

949,536 hours (24 + 949,512). 

Reporting: 24 hours for reporting by 

common carriers. 

Disclosure: 949,512 [(19,440 hours for 

advertising by vendors + 19,992 hours 

for preamble disclosure which applies 

to every pay-per-call service + 6,480 

burden hours for telephone-billed 

charges in billing statements (applies to 

vendors; applies to common carriers if 

acting as billing entity) + 13,000 burden 

hours for dispute resolution procedures 

in billing statements (applies to billing 

entities) + 890,600 hours for disclosures 

related to consumers reporting a billing 

error (applies to billing entities)]. 

Estimated annual cost burden: 

$49,402,048 (solely relating to labor 

costs).1

Request for Comment 

On November 4, 2024, the FTC sought 

public comment on the information 

collection requirements associated with 

the Rule. 89 FR 87575.2 The 

Commission received one germane 

comment, which supported the 

continued collection of information 

under the Rule. The Commission 

received a second comment that 

mischaracterized the Commission’s 

November 4, 2024 Notice and request 

for comment as a notice of proposed 

rulemaking. The commenter asserted 

that the Commission’s Notice raised 

constitutional and ‘‘statutory overreach’’ 

concerns. The Commission’s Notice, as 

discussed, sought public comment on
