Abstract:
The goal of section 258 is to eliminate the practice of "slamming", which is the unauthorized change of a subscriber's preferred carrier. The revisions and additions adopted in the attached Third Order on Reconsideration and Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking will improve the carrier change process for consumers and carriers alike, while making it more difficult for unscrupulous carriers to peretrate slams.

Short Statement:
In the previous submission, the Commission miscalculated the total annual hourly burden for some of the components of the information collection requirements. The Commission has recalculated the number of respondents, total annual hourly costs, and number of responses due to the Commissions re-estimation of the various hourly burdens for the existing information collection requirements. Due to this re-estimation: (a) The Commissions estimated number of respondents has decreased from 35,036 respondents to 25,041 respondents;(b) the Commissions estimated number of responses has decreased from 35,036 responses to 25,041 responses;(c) the Commissions estimated total annual burden hours have decreased from 146,794 to 105,901 hours; and(d)the Commissions estimated total cost burden has increased from $51,187,500 to $51,285,000. There are no program changes to this information collection.
