continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, invites the general
public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment
on the following information collection, as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, Public Law No. 104-13. An agency may not
conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid control number. Pursuant to the PRA, no person shall be
subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of
information that does not display a valid control number. Comments are
requested concerning: (a) 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; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; (c) ways
to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on the respondents, including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be
submitted on or before June 16, 2008. If you anticipate that you will
be submitting comments, but find it difficult to do so within the
period of time allowed by this notice, you should advise the contact
listed below as soon as possible.

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: An assurance of
confidentiality is not offered because this information collection does

individuals.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
Needs and Uses: Pursuant to 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.
Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
