SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB Control No.: 3060-0719.
Title: Quarterly Report of IntraLATA Carriers Listing Payphone
Automatic Number Identifications (ANIs).
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 400 respondents; 1,600 responses.
Estimated Time Per Response: 3.5 hours.

disclosure requirements, and quarterly reporting requirements.
Total Annual Burden: 5,600 hours.
Total Annual Cost: N/A.
Needs and Uses: IntraLATA carriers must submit a quarterly list of
payphone ANIs to the interexchange carriers. This will facilitate
resolution of disputed ANIs in the par-call compensation context. The
report allows IXCs to determine which dial-around calls are made from
payphones. The data which must be maintained for at least 18 months
after the close of a compensation period will facilitate verification
of disputed ANIs.
OMB Control No.: 3060-0743.
Title: Implementation of the Pay Telephone Reclassification and
Compensation Provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, CC

implementing Section 276 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Among
other things, the rules: (1) Established fair compensation for every
completed intrastate and interstate payphone cell; (2) discontinued
intrastate and interstate access charge payphone service elements and
payments, and intrastate and interstate payphone subsidies from basic
exchange services; and (3) adopted guidelines for use by the states in
establishing public interest payphones to be located where there would

amount of the discounts. FCC Forms 473 and 474 facilitate the
reimbursement process. FCC Form 472 allows providers to confirm that
they are actually providing the discounted services to eligible
entities. FCC Forms 472, 473 and 474 and their instructions are being
revised to make editorial changes, dates adjusted and clarification
statements added. These forms instructions have also had invoice

advanced services without significantly degrading the performance of
other services. In CC Docket No. 98-147, the Commission solicited
comment on whether the requesting carriers should receive demographic
and other information from ILECs to determine whether they wish to co-
locate at particular remote terminals. In CC Docket No. 96-98 comments

competing carriers. This information collection has not changed and the
