                 Subpart M_Provision of Payphone Service
 
Sec.  64.1310  Payphone compensation payment procedures.

    (a) It is the responsibility of the first facilities-based 
interexchange carrier to which a compensable coinless access code or 
subscriber toll-free payphone call is delivered by the local exchange 
carrier to track, or arrange for the tracking of, each such call so that 
it may accurately compute the compensation required by Sec.  64.1300(a). 
The first facilities-based interexchange carrier to which a compensable 
coinless payphone call is delivered by the local exchange carrier must 
also send back to each payphone service provider at the time dial around 
compensation is due to be paid a statement in computer readable format 
indicating the toll-free and access code numbers that the LEC has 
delivered to the carrier, and the volume of calls for each toll-free and 
access number each carrier has received from each of that payphone 
service provider's payphones, unless the payphone service provider 
agrees to other arrangements.

    (b) The first facilities-based interexchange carrier to which a 
compensable coinless payphone call is delivered by the local exchange 
carrier may obtain reimbursement from its reseller and debit card 
customers for the compensation amounts paid to payphone service 
providers for calls carried on their account and for the cost of 
tracking compensable calls. Facilities-based carriers and resellers may 
establish or continue any other arrangements that they have with 
payphone service providers for the billing and collection of 
compensation for calls subject to Sec.  64.1300(a), if the involved 
payphone service providers so agree.
    (c) Local Exchange Carriers must provide to carriers required to pay 
compensation pursuant to Section 64.1300(a) a list of payphone numbers 
in their service areas. The list must be provided on a quarterly basis. 
Local Exchange Carriers must verify disputed numbers in a timely manner, 
and must maintain verification data for 18 months after close of the 
compensation period.
    (d) Local Exchange Carriers must respond to all carrier requests for 
payphone number verification in connection with the compensation 
requirements herein, even if such verification is a negative response.
    (e) A payphone service provider that seeks compensation for 
payphones that are not included on the Local Exchange Carrier's list 
satisfies its obligation to provide alternative reasonable verification 
to a payor carrier if it provides to that carrier:
    (1) A notarized affidavit attesting that each of the payphones for 
which the payphone service provider seeks compensation is a payphone 
that was in working order as of the last day of the compensation period; 
and
    (2) Corroborating evidence that each such payphone is owned by the 
payphone service provider seeking compensation and was in working order 
on the last day of the compensation period. Corroborating evidence shall 
include, at a minimum, the telephone bill for the last month of the 
billing quarter indicating use of a line screening service.
