The program requires periodic reporting by telephone companies and the universal service administrator. The information is used by the Commission, Federal-State Joint Boards, Congress, and the general public to assess the impacts of the decisions of the Commission and Joint Boards. This information collection has been revised because several data elements contained in the monitoring program were eliminated due to access reform. *OMB Control No.:* 3060-0823. *Title:* Pay Telephone Reclassification, Memorandum Opinion and Order, CC Docket No. 96-128. *Form No.:* N/A. *Type of Review:* Extension of a currently approved collection. *Respondents:* Business or other for-profit. *Numbers of Respondents:* 400. *Estimated Time Per Response:* 2 to 35 hours. *Frequency of Response:* On occasion reporting requirement; recordkeeping requirement; and third part disclosure requirement. *Total Annual Burden:* 400 hours. *Total Annual Cost:* $480,000. *Needs and Use:* In the Memorandum Opinion and Order issued in CC Docket No. 96-128, the Commission clarified requirements established in the Payphone Orders for the provision of payphone-specific coding digits by LECs and PSPs, to IXCs, beginning October 7, 1997. Specifically, the Order clarified that only FLEX ANI complies with the requirements; required that LECs file tariffs to FLEX ANI as a nonchargeable option to IXCs; required that LECs file tariffs to recover costs associated with implementing FLEX ANI; and grants permission and certain waivers. This is an extension of a currently approved collection. The Commission is seeking approval to extend this collection for three years, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act.
