Sec.  64.1330  State review of payphone entry and exit regulations and 
public interest payphones.

    (a) Each state must review and remove any of its regulations 
applicable to payphones and payphone service providers that impose 
market entry or exit requirements.
    (b) Each state must ensure that access to dialtone, emergency calls, 
and telecommunications relay service calls for the hearing disabled is 
available from all payphones at no charge to the caller.
    (c) Each state must review its rules and policies to determine 
whether it has provided for public interest payphones consistent with 
applicable Commission guidelines, evaluate whether it needs to take 
measures to ensure that such payphones will continue to exist in light 
of the Commission's implementation of Section 276 of the Communications 
Act, and administer and fund such programs so that such payphones are 
supported fairly and equitably. This review must be completed by 
September 20, 1998.
