of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission 
(FCC or the Commission) invites the general public and other Federal 
agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the following 
information collection. Comments are requested concerning: 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; the accuracy of the 
Commission's burden estimate; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 
clarity of the information collected; ways to minimize the burden of

burden on small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0717.
    Title: Billed Party Preference for InterLATA 0+ Calls, CC Docket 
No. 92-77, 47 CFR Sections 64.703(a), 64.709, 64.710.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 1,418 respondents; 11,250,150 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 1 minute (.017 hours)-50 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Annual and on-occasion reporting 
requirements. Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain 
benefits. The statutory authority for this information collection is 
found at 47 U.S.C. 226, Telephone Operator Services, Public Law 101-
435, 104 Stat. 986, codified at 47 CFR 64.703(a) Consumer Information, 
64.709 Informational Tariffs, and 64.710 Operator Services for Prison 
Inmate Phones.
    Total Annual Burden: 205,023 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $138,750.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: An assurance of 
confidentiality is not offered because this information collection does 
not require the collection of personally identifiable information from 
individuals.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirements contained 
in 47 CFR 64.703(a), Operator Service Providers (OSPs) are required to 
disclose, audibly and distinctly to the consumer, at no charge and 
before connecting any interstate call, how to obtain rate quotations, 
including any applicable surcharges. 47 CFR 64.710 imposes similar 
requirements on OSPs to inmates at correctional institutions. 47 CFR 
64.709 codifies the requirements for OSPs to file informational tariffs 
with the Commission. These rules help to ensure that consumers receive 
information necessary to determine what the charges associated with an 
OSP-assisted call will be, thereby enhancing informed consumer choice 
in the operator services marketplace.
