responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 2 to 260 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Annual and on occasion reporting and 
recordkeeping requirements; Third party disclosure requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The

U.S.C. 228(c)(7)-(10); Public Law 192-556, 106 stat. 4181 (1992), 
codified at 47 U.S.C. 228 (The Telephone Disclosure and Dispute 
Resolution Act of 1992).
    Total Annual Burden: 47,750 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: None.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: An assurance of

not require the collection of personally identifiable information from

    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Needs and Uses: 47 CFR 64.1504 of the Commission's rules 
incorporates the requirements of Sections 228(c)(7)-(10) of the 
Communications Act restricting the manner in which toll-free numbers 
may be used to charge telephone subscribers for information services. 
Common carriers may not charge a calling party for information conveyed 
on a toll-free number call, unless the calling party: (1) Has executed 
a written agreement that specifies the material terms and conditions 
under which the information is provided, or (2) pays for the 
information by means of a prepaid account, credit, debit, charge, or 
calling card and the information service provider gives the calling 
party an introductory message disclosing the cost and other terms and 
conditions for the service. The disclosure requirements are intended to 
ensure that consumers know when charges will be levied for calls to 
toll-free numbers and are able to obtain information necessary to make 
informed choices about whether to purchase toll-free information 
services.
    47 CFR 64.1509 of the Commission rules incorporates the 
requirements of 47 U.S.C. (c)(2) and 228 (d)(2)-(3) of the 
Communications Act. Common carriers that assign telephone numbers to 
pay-per-call services must disclose to all interested parties, upon 
request, a list of all assigned pay-per-call numbers. For each assigned 
number, carriers must also make available: (1) A description of the 
pay-per-call services; (2) the total cost per minute or other fees 
associated with the service; and (3) the service provider's name, 
business address, and telephone number. In addition, carriers handling 
pay-per-call services must establish a toll-free number that consumers 
may call to receive information about pay-per-call services. Finally, 
the Commission requires carriers to provide statements of pay-per-call 
rights and responsibilities to new telephone subscribers at the time 
service is established and, although not required by statute, to all 
subscribers annually.
    Under 47 CFR 64.1510 of the Commission's rules, telephone bills 
containing charges for interstate pay-per-call and other information 
services must include information detailing consumers' rights and 
responsibilities with respect to these charges. Specifically, telephone 
bills carrying pay-per-call charges must include a consumer 
notification stating that: (1) The charges are for non-communication 
services; (2) local and long distance telephone services may not be 
disconnected for failure to pay per-call charges; (3) pay-per-call (900 
number) blocking is available upon request; and (4) access to pay-per-
call services may be involuntarily blocked for failure to pay per-call 
charges. In addition, each call billed must show the type of services, 
the amount of the charge, and the date, time, and duration of the call. 
Finally, the bill must display a toll-free number which subscribers may 
call to obtain information about pay-per-call services. Similar billing 
disclosure requirements apply to charges for information services 
either billed to subscribers on a collect basis or accessed by 
subscribers through a toll-free number. The billing disclosure 
requirements are intended to ensure that telephone subscribers billed 
for pay-per-call or other information services can understand the 
charges levied and are informed of their rights and responsibilities 
with respect to payment of such charges.
