Abstract: On October 3, 2003, the Commission issued a Report and Order that required "Completing Carriers" to compensate payphone service providers (PSPs) for each and every completed call using a coinless access number (CC Docket 96-128/FCC 03-235). This Order on Reconsideration, released on October 22, 2004, does not change this compensation framework, but rather refines and builds upon its approach. It provides guidance on the types of contracts that the Commission would deem to be reasonable methods of compensating PSPs, extends the time period that carriers must retain certain payphone records, and clarifies the rules' reporting, certification, and audit requirements.

Short Statement: The Commission notes that there are no revisions, e.g, program changes. We do note that we have re-evaluated the following burden estimates, resulting in an adjustment: (a) The total number of respondents has decreased and is now estimated to be 924, a decrease of 99 respondents from the previous submission. This decrease is due to a decrease in the number of Completing Carrier respondents from 762 to 684. The 684 estimate was obtained by reference to the most recent Telecommunications Provider Locator report. (Telecommunications Provider Locator, FCC Wireline Competition Bureau, Industry Analysis and Technology Division, Table 2 (January 2010)). We also decreased the number of Intermediate Carrier respondents from 261 to 240 based on our knowledge that the number of Intermediate Carriers has also likely decreased since the last submission. (b) The total annual hourly burden is now estimated to be 160,184, a decrease of 18,208 hours from the previous estimate of 178,392 hours. The collections are necessary for the Commission to implement the express directives of Congress in the Act.
