Dates

Supplementary Information
On July 12, 1999, the Commission amended its rules to require that the information that call aggregators must post on or near pay phones be updated as soon as practicable, but no later than 30 days from the time of a change of the presubscribed operator service provider. The new rule was adopted in order to ensure that consumers are timely provided with basic information they need to make informed choices among telecommunications operator services providers. A summary of this order was published in the Federal Register. See 64 FR 47118, August 30, 1999. Because Sec. 64.703(c) imposes new information collection requirements, it could not become effective until approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). We stated that the Commission would publish a document in the Federal Register announcing the effective date for the rule. On September 24, 1999, OMB approved the information collections contained in the rule. (See OMB No. 3060-0653). This publication satisfies our statement that the Commission would publish a document announcing the effective date of the rule.
