Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: An assurance of

Needs and Uses: In addition to the existing information collection
requirements that we previously approved by OMB, in the Order on
Reconsideration, In the Matter of Rules and Regulations Implementing
Minimum Customer Account Record Exchange Obligations on All Local
Exchange Carriers (LECs) and Interexchange Carriers (IXCs) (2005 Report
and Order), CG Docket No. 02-386, FCC 06-134, which was released on
September 13, 2006, the Commission concluded that minor modifications
to 47 CFR 64.4002 are needed to clarity carriers' respective
obligations under that rule section.
Paragraph 64.4002(d) is modified to require that LEC notify an IXC
when the LEC has removed at its local switch a presubscribed customer
of the IXC in connection with the customer's selection of ``no-PIC''
(preferred interexchange carrier) status. In this context, the
selection of ``no-PIC'' status by the customer refers to the selection
of no carriers for interLATA (Local Access Transport and Area) service
or no carrier for interLATA service. The Commission concludes that this
modification is needed to ensure that an IXC does not continue billing
a customer for non-usage-related monthly charges where that customer
has contacted his current LEC or his current IXC to select ``no-PIC''
status.
Paragraph 64.4002(e) of the Commission's rules is modified to
[[Page 27569]]
include the effective date of any changes to a customer's local service
account and the carrier identifications code of the customer's IXC
among the categories of information that must be provided to the IXC by
the LEC. The Commission concludes that knowing the effective date of
account changes will help IXCs to maintain accurate customer account
information and that including the carrier identification code of the
customer's IXC will enable an IXC to verify that it is the proper
recipient of the transmitted information.
Paragraph 64.402(g) of the Commission's rules is modified to make
the information categories included in paragraph 64.402(g) consistent
with those included in other LEC notifications requirements. Paragraph
64.4002(g) also is modified to require that when a customer changes
LECs, but wishes to retain his current PIC, the new LEC must so notify
the current PIC so that the current PIC does not erroneously assume,
absent additional notification from the new LEC, that the customer also
wishes to cancel his current PIC.
