Implementation of the Pay Telephone Reclassification and Compensation Provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996
AGENCY:
Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION:
Final rule.
SUMMARY:
In this document, the Commission implemented certain aspects of per-payphone compensation pursuant to a 1997 remand by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. To implement the remand, the Commission established a new default compensation amount per payphone per month for access code and subscriber toll-free calls, allocated this monthly amount among the designated payors of per-payphone compensation, resolved some compensation offset issues, determined issues regarding the valuation of payphone assets transferred by local exchange carriers to a separate affiliate or division, and resolved a number of issues raised in petitions for reconsideration.
DATES:
Effective January 2, 2003.

Synopsis of Fifth Order on Reconsideration and Order on Remand
1. Instead of revising its approach to estimating monthly call volumes at the average payphone, the Commission retained the estimate of 148 monthly compensable calls as determined in the Fourth Reconsideration Order, 67 FR 9610, March 4, 2002. In this regard, the Commission explicitly rejected the reconsideration arguments of: (1) Sprint and WorldCom that per-payphone compensation should be based on the 131 monthly compensable calls estimated by the Commission in 1996, (2) Sprint that the underlying call volumes were unreliable, (3) WorldCom that the Commission should reduce the monthly estimate by a set factor each year after the Interim Period, and (4) Sprint that the Commission should use a weighted averaged, instead of a straight average as used in the Fourth Reconsideration Order.
2. The Commission's calculation of a per-call compensation rate in the Third Report and Order, 64 FR 13701, March 22, 1999, included a component of $0.009 to reflect an assumed average delay in the rendering of payphone compensation according to the quarterly system established by industry consensus and endorsed by the Commission in the First Report and Order, 61 FR 52307, October 7, 1996. APCC requested that the Commission reconsider its deduction in the Fourth Reconsideration Order of this $0.009 from the per-call compensation rate. The Commission in this Order granted APCC's request and reinstated this $0.009 component for the purpose of calculating per-payphone compensation. Granting APCC's reconsideration petition on this issue effectively mooted Sprint's request for clarification that the 22.9 cent rate adopted in the Fourth Reconsideration Order be applied to all true-ups for the Intermediate Period, whether a carrier paid on a per-payphone or per-call basis. It also mooted WorldCom's request to clarify that the rate of 22.9 cents applies to payments for payphones that do not transmit payphone-specific coding digits, even if the carrier has compensated on a per-call, rather than per-payphone basis, for those payphones. The same 23.8 cent rate that applied to per-call compensation during the Intermediate Period applies to determine per-payphone compensation.
3. The Colorado Payphone Association (CPA) asked the Commission to reconsider the 24-cent compensation rate established in the Third Report and Order arguing that the Commission inappropriately used a "stripped down" coinless phone model for the purpose of calculating payphone capital costs, inappropriately used 11.25% as the interest rate, and incorrectly calculated maintenance costs. The Commission denied CPA's reconsideration petition with respect to each of these factors.
4. The Commission denied the RBOC Coalition's reconsideration petition request to add some amount of additional compensation to the per-payphone compensation required in this Order as compensation for 1+ calls originated during the Interim Period for which the payphone service providers (PSPs) were not otherwise compensated. The definition provided of a 1+ call was an interLATA toll call originating at a payphone and carried by an interexchange carrier (IXC), where the IXC's operator or its automated rating system directs that calling party to deposit coins for the call.
5. After considering reconsideration requests regarding the per-payphone compensation calculation, the Commission recalculated a per-payphone compensation amount based on a per-call rate of $0.238 cents. The per-call rate of $0.238 multiplied by the call estimate of 148 calls per month equals a compensation amount of $35.224 per payphone per month for the Interim Period (November 7, 1996, through October 6, 1997) and the Intermediate Period (October 7, 1997, through April 20, 1999). The compensation obligations as shown at Appendices A, B and C are calculated using this increased amount.
6. After determining the amount of compensation to be paid per payphone per month, the Commission next allocated this monthly payphone compensation obligation among the payors of per-payphone compensation, to implement the remand by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in Illinois Pub. Telecomm. Ass'n v. FCC, 117 F.3d 555 (D.C. Cir. 1997), clarified on reh'g, 123 F.3d 693 (D.C. Cir. 1997), cert. denied sub nom. Virginia State Corp. Comm'n v. FCC, 523 U.S. 1046 (1998) (hereinafter Illinois ). See Remand Public Notice, 62 FR 43686, August 15, 1997. During the first four months of 2002, the four Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs) provided the Wireline Competition Bureau with aggregate call data listing the next destination past the RBOC switch of payphone calls placed during 1997, 1998, and October 1, 2000, through September 30, 2001. From that data set, the Commission aggregated the numbers to determine the total number of payphone calls received by each carrier in each of the three time periods, as well as the total number of calls placed in the time period. From there, each carrier's share of the total was calculated, and thus the proportion of the monthly $35.224 per-payphone compensation that each identified carrier should rightfully bear.
7. Once the basic aggregation was completed, the Commission adjusted the data in various ways in order to obtain a reasonable allocation. For example, the Commission excluded unusable data from the final data set, such as, calls routed to destinations not identified in the RBOC data. Another exclusion concerned some RBOC data submitted for payphone calls routed to destinations that were not IXCs or other carriers, including entities with dedicated private line service assigned a carrier identification code (CIC), a four digit number that uniquely identifies the destination of the call, even though they are not "communications carriers." The Commission also excused governmental entities, such as, the Internal Revenue Service, and various state governments, that were in the RBOC data. Because such non-carrier entities had no notice that they could be responsible for payphone compensation, the Commission decided not to hold them liable and removed those calls from the data set. The non-carrier CIC holders eliminated from consideration are: AmVox, Arco Paypoint, Arthur Anderson Co., Buypass Corp., California State Lottery, Cam-Net, Card Establishment, Compuserve, Contact America, Dean Witter, Department of Treasury (IRS), Discover Co., EDS, Envoy Corporation, ETSC, First USA, Full Service Computing, Harmonic Systems, HUB Distributing, Idaho State Government, JC Penney Business Services, Landmark Communications, Legal Aid Society of Orange County, MAG Card, MasterCard International, MCSC Access in Canada, Merchant Link, Mobile Oil Credit Corp., Morgan Stanley, National Data Corp., Nexus Communications, Paradise Communications, PaymentTech, Professional Fusion Enterprises, PSA, Inc., Public Service Company of New Mexico and Gas Company of New Mexico, Resource Technology, Southeast Switch, State of California, Stone Co., Telemoney Services, Transaction Network Services, United Refining, Vacation Villages of America, Visa USA, Vital Processing Services, VoiceCom Systems, VTA, Inc., and Weeks Communications.
8. The Commission may not have identified all of them; thus, some entities in the Tables of Allocations in Appendices A, B, or C may not in fact be carriers. The Commission made the following provision for entities that are not "communications carriers" and thus not responsible for per-payphone compensation. Any entity named in the Commission's allocation in this Order that then receives a request for per-payphone compensation from a PSP or other entity may, within 90 days of receiving such a request, file a waiver request with the Wireline Competition Bureau for exclusion from the per-payphone allocation, with a demonstration that the entity provides no communications service to others.
9. In the First Report and Order, the Commission decided that local exchange carriers (LECs) must pay payphone compensation to the extent that they carry compensable payphone calls. The Commission in this Order allocated to both RBOC and non-RBOC incumbent LECs 2.19% of the calls originating from payphones within their own service territories because it reflects the fact that an incumbent LEC does receive and carry compensable payphone calls originated within its territory. This percentage and the appropriate compensation amount were listed in Appendices A, B and C. Rather than making each incumbent LEC remit payment to each PSP in the nation the Commission required each incumbent LEC to remit the 2.19% payment to PSPs for each payphone located in its service territory, even if the PSP had/has its payphones connected to a competitive LEC.
10. After an examination of the RBOC data showed that the RBOCs themselves sometimes behaved as IXCs, the Commission concluded that incumbent LECs owe compensation for calls where the incumbent LEC performed the function of an IXC. This compensation obligation was allocated in a manner consistent with other payors of per-payphone compensation. The Allocation Tables reflect compensable payphone calls routed to identified incumbent LECs acting in an IXC capacity, and specify the amount of per-payphone compensation to be paid by that incumbent LEC to all PSPs nationwide.
11. In Appendices A, B and C, the Commission identified payors obligated to pay per-payphone compensation by the names of payors and CICs provided by the RBOCs in the payphone call data. The Commission explained in this Order that given consolidation and change in the telecommunications industry over the last several years, the payor names may fail to accurately identify current per-payphone obligations imposed by this Order. Any failure on the Commission's part in the name identification in Appendices A, B and C does not excuse full payment by any entity of its compensation obligation. According to the Commission, the per-payphone obligation must be paid by each listed entity, or by its successors in interest, assigns, transferees or their entity legally responsible for the listed entity's obligations under this Order.
12. The Commission noted, moreover, that this name identification was provided for the convenience of carriers and PSPs alike, and was not intended to impose a modification to otherwise appropriate intracorporate relationships. If an entity listed in Appendices A, B or C has provided for payment of its payphone compensation allocations through separate subsidiaries or otherwise, it may, absent some other resolution agreeable to the PSPs to which it owes payment, ask for clarification from the Wireline Competition Bureau, which will promptly provide the appropriate attribution of allocation amounts among subsidiaries or other entities, or otherwise provide clarification of the per-payphone compensation obligation required by this Order. An entity listed in Appendices A, B, or C may not, however, avoid its obligation to pay per-payphone compensation by requesting such clarification.
13. KTNT Communications is an exception in the Commission's listing of entities in Appendices A, B, and C according to the RBOC data. The Commission identified KTNT Communications as the company obligated to pay the per-payphone compensation required by this Order for 39 operator service providers. In explaining this decision, the Commission noted that KTNT Communications filed a notice with the Public Utility Commission of Texas on April 18, 1997 that it was the management company responsible for these other operator service providers. In addition, KTNT Communications and each of the 38 other operator service providers submitted "concurring carrier" documentation to qualify to use KTNT Communications tariff submissions. The 38 other operator service providers with payphone call data aggregated with data for KTNT Communications are: Bay TNT Network, Who Ever, U Speak Long Distance, It Doesn't Matter, Zimmer Way, I Don't Care, I Don't Know, Riverbend Communications, Minh Long Distance, Viva Tel L.D., Bryant Service, Rea Long Distance, Signature Network Service, Brown Service Co., Exco Long Distance, Mustang Operators, Far Point, Knox Service Group, Sandell Operator Service, Christine LD Service, Vera Long Distance, Old Laredo Service, Old Home Operator, Andril Service Group, Any One Is Okay, MCV, Brahms Communications, Forest Pine Telcom, Amadeus, Dvorak, KBTN, Callum Long Distance, Sunrise Operator, Wisteria LD Service, World Window, Hickory Grover Group, Alert Operators, and Friendly Voice Network. While KTNT Communications must pay all of the per-payphone compensation required in this Order for itself and each of the 38 entities listed in this paragraph, KTNT Communications has a right of recovery from these listed 38 entities if such recovery does not lead to double recovery by KTNT Communications.
14. In this Order, the Commission granted Sprint's petition for reconsideration regarding the obligation of resellers to pay per-payphone compensation to the following extent. The RBOC call data listed carriers receiving calls by name and by CIC. Because many resellers have their own CICs, numerous resellers are included on these lists, and hence included in the allocation delineated at Appendices A, B and C. Accordingly, the Commission addressed at least part of Sprint's concern by including resellers as well as "first switch" carriers, without regard to the label borne by the carrier. Further, the Commission explicitly held that allocating compensation obligations among carriers through the use of this methodology replaces the more general statements made in the Fourth Reconsideration Order about requiring first facilities-based carriers to bear the entire burden of per-payphone compensation. Moreover, the Commission reconsidered its decision to use Carrier Locator Reports to distinguish IXCs from resellers and instead made the allocation without regard to whether a company considers itself to be an IXC, a reseller, or some other type of provider of telecommunications services.
15. In contrast, the Commission recognized in this Order that calls routed to facilities-based carriers' CICs may in fact have been ultimately routed to resellers. Given the inclusion of a significant number of resellers in the allocation methodology, the Commission decided that the ultimate impact on the compensation paid by other carriers will most likely not be significant. Sprint's proposed alternative method for allocating per-payphone compensation proposal effectively would have excluded all resellers from compensation and the Commission did not consider it to be fair compensation to PSPs. The Commission stipulated explicitly that, if a carrier has data that payphone calls allocated to them ( i.e. , routed to its CIC) were actually carried by resellers, nothing in this Order prevents carriers from seeking reimbursement of the cost of these calls from resellers. The Commission added that carriers may in no way delay payment of compensation to PSPs on account of seeking such reimbursement.
16. In adopting its allocation methodology, the Commission explicitly denied reconsideration petitions asking the Commission to establish alternative ways of calculating compensation for the Interim and Intermediate Periods. The Commission also rejected ITC?DeltaCom's reconsideration petition request to exempt from Interim Period compensation obligations those carriers with revenues below $100 million. In addition, APCC, Sprint Corporation, MCI and Frontier Corporation filed petitions for reconsideration or review of a Bureau-level decision and a Division-level decision, each related to per-payphone compensation for the Intermediate Period. See Implementation of the Pay Telephone Reclassification and Compensation Provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, CC Docket No. 96-128, Memorandum Opinion Order, 63 FR 26497, May 13, 1998; Order, 63 FR 26495, May 13, 1998. These petitions attack various aspects of the waiver process by which per-payphone compensation was paid during the Intermediate Period. After establishing in the Fourth Reconsideration Order and this Order the methodology for calculating and apportioning per-payphone compensation for the Interim and Intermediate Periods, and allocating the responsibility for per-payphone compensation to as large a group of carriers as possible, the Commission dismissed these petitions as moot.
17. In its reconsideration petition, Sprint Corporation asserted that it did not believe the obligation created in the Fourth Reconsideration Order regarding per-payphone compensation for the Intermediate Period was intended to force carriers that previously paid on a per-call basis to now conduct true ups on a per-payphone basis for the Intermediate Period. The Commission declared in this Order that if carriers have already paid per-call compensation on payphones for which they received coding digits in the Interim, Intermediate or any other period, nothing in the Fourth Reconsideration Order or this Order requires carriers to now go back and apply per-payphone compensation to these payphones.
18. CPA requested reconsideration of the decision that PSPs must pay refunds for the Intermediate Period. In this Order, the Commission affirmed its decision in the Third Report and Order that PSPs must refund the difference between payments they received at the 28.4 cent rate established in the Second Report and Order, 62 FR 58659, October 30, 1997, and payments recalculated at a 23.8 cent rate.
19. The Commission affirmed in this Order the decisions in the Third Report and Order and the Fourth Reconsideration Order that obligations for payment of outstanding compensation for the Interim and Intermediate Periods, and payment of refunds and any adjustments, shall run from specific carriers to specific PSPs. The Commission declined to adopt APCC's reconsideration petition to the extent it asked for the establishment of a carrier-to-carrier mechanism for resolving payments and refunds. The Commission, however, reiterated its conclusion in the Fourth Reconsideration Order that alternative arrangements between or among carriers, with the agreement of the PSP, are not prohibited.
20. The Commission explained how carriers and PSPs should handle the compensation and refund process by providing the following guidelines to clarify the requirements of the Third Report and Order. After the effective date of this Order, PSPs and carriers may render bills to one another or otherwise arrange for payment of outstanding Interim and Intermediate Period compensation obligations or refunds. They may use whatever commercially reasonable payment or dispute resolution processes to handle this process they may currently use in their dealings with one another or to which they may otherwise mutually agree, including clearinghouse processes. In accordance with the Third Report and Order determination that "IXCs may recover their overpayments to the PSPs at the same time as the PSPs receive payment from the IXCs for the Interim Period," the Commission clarified in this Order that this means IXCs (or other carriers rendering payment) shall initially claim an offset for refunds of overpayments only against amounts claimed by the PSP for Interim and Intermediate Period compensation. Only after the carrier and the PSP have resolved the offset against this amount may the IXC "deduct the remaining overpayment from future payments to PSPs" as stipulated in the Third Report and Order. The Commission clarified that IXCs (or other carriers claiming refunds) may only withhold undisputed amounts from future payments. Thus, any carrier wishing to deduct a refund out of future payments to PSPs may only do so after providing that specific PSP notice of the refund claimed, and allowing the PSP adequate time to dispute the claim. To the extent a PSP disputes any portion of the refund claimed, the carrier may not deduct that portion from any future payment until it resolves the dispute with the PSP. Again, carriers and PSPs may use existing commercially reasonable processes to handle these disputes and arrange for payment. The only requirement the Commission placed on these processes is that if a carrier is able to apply undisputed amounts against future payments, the carriers must allow PSPs to make payments of refunds over a reasonable number of future payments, subject to ongoing accrual of interest, if reasonably requested by the PSP.
21. The Commission in this Order rejected reconsideration requests and affirmed its decision in the Fourth Reconsideration Order to apply the IRS-prescribed interest rate to payments of Interim and Intermediate Period compensation, as well as to refunds owed by PSPs to carriers. The Commission specified, however, that because it had reinstated the $0.009 interest rate component as described above, the IRS-prescribed interest rate will only begin to accrue after the date payment normally would have been rendered under the quarterly payment system applicable to payphone compensation. Consistent with the Commission's assumptions under prior orders in this proceeding, the IRS-prescribed interest rate for payments that should have been made for the first quarter of the year will begin accruing on July 2 of that same year, for the second quarter of the year on October 2 of that same year, for the third quarter on January 2 of the next year, and for the fourth quarter on April 2 of the next year.
22. WorldCom asked the Commission to clarify that, with the exception of Interim Period inmate calls not otherwise compensated, PSPs may not now submit any new claims for any other type of coinless payphone call after the one year deadline for submitting calls for compensation. The Commission decided it was not necessary to further clarify its holding and rejected WorldCom's clarification request.
23. In this Order, the Commission denied CPA's reconsideration petition asking the Commission to require carriers to implement targeted call blocking, the technological ability of an IXC to not accept (or "block") a dial-around access code call from one payphone while accepting calls from another payphone.
24. The Commission decided in this Order that it is constrained by the court's holding in Illinois to allow LECs to use net book value when valuing payphone assets transferred to a separate affiliate or operating division. The Commission noted that the court's holding, however, was enunciated in the specific context of the transfers at issue in Illinois. Thus, to avoid confusion as to the reach of the Commission's implementation of the court's decision, the Commission provided in this Order clarification as follows. If a LEC chooses to retain payphone assets, reclassification of these assets from regulated to nonregulated status must be consistent with § 32.32 and the Commission's part 64 cost allocation rules. If a LEC chooses to make a one-time transfer of payphone assets to a nonregulated affiliate or operating division, then such a transfer would be recorded at net book value. The Commission expressly limited this treatment to only such transfers as may be made pursuant to Commission implementation of section 276(b)(1)(B), as it is only these types of transfers that could reasonably be considered the kind of one-time industry reform contemplated by the court in Illinois. The Commission also explained that, to the extent a transfer of payphone assets does not meet these requirements, the Commission's affiliate transaction rules would apply. In this event, carriers were reminded that they must include in fair market valuations of payphone assets the going concern value associated with location contracts supporting the payphone assets.
25. The Commission also clarified that the effective date of the Fourth Reconsideration Order and this Order shall be 30 days after the date that this Order is published in the Federal Register . The Commission specifically declined, however, to require compensation payment to be made within thirty days after release of this Order, as the RBOC Coalition requested. According to the Commission, once any PSP or carrier has performed the tasks necessary to render bills for compensation or refunds in accordance with this Order, the PSP or carrier may render such bills as soon as practicable after this Order's effective date, provided that they observe the offset resolution guidelines described in the Order.
26. The Commission delineated the results of its allocations, showing each carrier's pro rata share of the per-payphone payment, in Tables of Allocation located in Appendices A, B and C. In Appendix A, the Commission identified the payors and designated the monthly per-payphone compensation amounts for the Interim Period, beginning November 7, 1996 through October 6, 1997.

Paperwork Reduction Act Analysis
29. This Order was analyzed with respect to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. It contains no new or modified information collections subject to Office of Management and Budget review.
Supplemental Final Regulatory Flexibility Act Analysis
30. As required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 603, an Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (IRFA) was provided in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in CC Docket No. 96-128, 61 FR 31481, June 20, 1996. The Commission sought written public comment on the proposals in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking , including comment on the IRFA. A Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (FRFA) was provided in the First Report and Order , 61 FR 52307, October 7, 1996, the First Reconsideration Order , 61 FR 65341, December 12, 1996, the Second Report and Order , 62 FR 58659, October 30, 1997, the Third Report and Order , 64 FR 13701, March 22, 1999, and the Fourth Reconsideration Order , 67 FR 9610, March 4, 2002.
31. This present Supplemental FRFA conforms to the RFA, as amended. See 5 U.S.C. 604. The RFA, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq. , has been amended by the Contract with America Advancement Act of 1996, Public Law No. 104-121, 110 Stat. 847 (1996) (CWAA). Title II of the CWAA is the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA).
32. To the extent that any statement in this Supplemental FRFA is perceived as creating ambiguity with respect to Commission rules or statements made in the sections of the Order preceding the Supplemental FRFA, the rules and statements set forth in those preceding sections are controlling.
Need for, and Objectives of, the Rules
33. In adopting section 276 in 1996, Public Law No. 104-104, 110 Stat. 56 (1996) (codified at 47 U.S.C. 276), Congress mandated inter alia that the Commission "establish a per call compensation plan to ensure that all payphone service providers are fairly compensated for each and every completed intrastate and interstate call using their payphone. * * *" In this Order, the Commission redetermined certain aspects of the per-payphone compensation to be paid to payphone service providers (PSPs) pursuant to the remand by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in Illinois , 117 F.3d. at 555. To implement the remand, the Commission calculated a per-call allocation for each carrier and clarified the manner in which the true up and offset procedures are to be applied to determine refunds and overpayments.
Summary of Significant Issues Raised by Public Comments in Response to the FRFA
34. The Commission received no comments in direct response to the FRFA in the Fourth Reconsideration Order . The Commission believes that the rules as adopted in this Order minimize the burdens of the per-payphone compensation procedure to the benefit of all parties, including small entities. See "Steps Taken to Minimize Significant Economic Impact on Small Entities, and Significant Alternatives Considered," infra .
Description and Estimate of the Number of Small Entities to which Rules Will Apply
35. The RFA directs agencies to provide a description of, and an estimate of, the number of small entities that may be affected by the rules adopted herein, where feasible. 5 U.S.C. 604(a)(3). The RFA generally defines "small entity" as having the same meaning as the terms "small business," "small organization," and "small governmental jurisdiction." 5 U.S.C. 601(6). In addition, the term "small business" has the same meaning as the term "small business concern" under the Small Business Act, unless the Commission has developed one or more definitions that are more appropriate to its activities. 5 U.S.C. 601(3) (incorporating by reference the definition of "small business concern" in 5 U.S.C. 632). Under the Small Business Act, a "small business concern" is one that: (1) Is independently owned and operated; (2) is not dominant in its field of operation; and (3) meets any additional criteria established by the Small Business Administration (SBA). 5 U.S.C. 632. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 601(3), the statutory definition of a small business applies "unless an agency after consultation with the Office of Advocacy of the Small Business Administration and after opportunity for public comment, establishes one or more definitions of such term which are appropriate to the activities of the agency and publishes such definition in the Federal Register ."
36. The Commission included small incumbent LECs in this RFA analysis. As noted above, a "small business" under the RFA is one that, inter alia , meets the pertinent small business size standard ( e.g. , a telephone communications business having 1,500 or fewer employees), and "is not dominant in its field of operation." 5 U.S.C. 601(3). The SBA's Office of Advocacy contends that, for RFA purposes, small incumbent LECs are not dominant in their field of operation because any such dominance is not "national" in scope. See letter from Jere W. Glover, Chief Counsel for Advocacy, SBA, to Chairman William E. Kennard, FCC (May 27, 1999). The Small Business Act contains a definition of "small business concern," which the RFA incorporates into its own definition of "small business." See 5 U.S.C. 632(a) (Small Business Act); 5 U.S.C. 601(3) (RFA). SBA regulations interpret "small business concern" to include the concept of dominance on a national basis. 13 CFR 121.102(b). The Commission therefore included small incumbent LECs in this RFA analysis, although the Commission emphasizes that this RFA action has no effect on the Commission's analyses and determinations in other, non-RFA contexts.
37. Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers. Neither the Commission nor the SBA has developed a specific size standard for small providers of incumbent local exchange services. The closest applicable size standard under the SBA rules is for Wired Telecommunications Carriers. Under that size standard, such a business is small if it has 1,500 or fewer employees. 13 CFR 121.201, North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 513310. According to the most recent Telephone Trends Report data, 1,329 incumbent local exchange carriers (LECs) reported that they were engaged in the provision of local exchange services. FCC, Wireline Competition Bureau, Industry Analysis and Technology Division, Trends in Telephone Service (May 2002) (hereinafter Telephone Trends Report ), Table 5.3. Of these 1,329 carriers, an estimated 1,024 have 1,500 or fewer employees and 305 have more than 1,500 employees. Id. Consequently, the Commission estimates that most providers of local exchange service are small businesses that may be affected by the rules and policies adopted herein.
38. Competitive Local Exchange Carriers or Competitive Access Providers. Neither the Commission nor the SBA has developed a size standard for small businesses specifically applicable to providers of competitive local exchange services or to competitive access providers (CAPs) or to "Other Local Exchange Carriers." The closest applicable size standard under the SBA rules is for Wired Telecommunications Carriers. Under that SBA standard, such a business is small if it has 1,500 or fewer employees. 13 CFR 121.201, NAICS code 513310. According to the Commission's most recent Telephone Trends Report data, 532 companies reported that they were engaged in the provision of either competitive access provider services or competitive local exchange carrier services. Telephone Trends Report, Table 5.3. Of these 532 companies, an estimated 411 have 1,500 or fewer employees and 121 have more than 1,500 employees. Id. In addition, 55 carriers reported that they were "Other Local Exchange Carriers." Id. Of the 55 "Other Local Exchange Carriers," an estimated 53 have 1,500 or fewer employees and two have more than 1,500 employees. Id. Consequently, the Commission estimates that most providers of competitive local exchange service, competitive access providers, and "Other Local Exchange Carriers" are small entities that may be affected by the rules and policies adopted herein.
39. Local Resellers. The SBA has developed a size standard for small businesses within the category of Telecommunications Resellers. Under that SBA size standard, such a business is small if it has 1,500 or fewer employees. 13 CFR 121.201, NAICS code 513330. According to the Commission's most recent Telephone Trends Report data, 134 companies reported that they were engaged in the provision of local resale services. Telephone Trends Report, Table 5.3. Of these 134 companies, an estimated 131 have 1,500 or fewer employees and three have more than 1,500 employees. Id. Consequently, the Commission estimates that the great majority of local resellers are small entities that may be affected by the rules and policies adopted herein.
40. Toll Resellers. The SBA has developed a size standard for small businesses within the category of Telecommunications Resellers. Under that SBA size standard, such a business is small if it has 1,500 or fewer employees. 13 CFR 121.201, NAICS code 513330. According to the Commission's most recent Telephone Trends Report data, 576 companies reported that they were engaged in the provision of toll resale services. Telephone Trends Report, Table 5.3. Of these 576 companies, an estimated 538 have 1,500 or fewer employees and 38 have more than 1,500 employees. Id. Consequently, the Commission estimates that the great majority of toll resellers are small entities that may be affected by the rules and policies adopted herein.
41. Payphone Service Providers. Neither the Commission nor the SBA has developed a size standard for small businesses specifically applicable to payphone service providers (PSPs). The closest applicable size standard under the SBA rules is for Wired Telecommunications Carriers. Under that standard, such a business is small if it has 1,500 or fewer employees. 13 CFR 121.201, NAICS code 513310. According to the Commission's most recent Telephone Trends Report data, 936 PSPs reported that they were engaged in the provision of payphone services. Telephone Trends Report, Table 5.3. Of these 936 PSPs, an estimated 933 have 1,500 or fewer employees and three have more than 1,500 employees. Id. Consequently, the Commission estimates that the great majority of PSPs are small entities that may be affected by the rules and policies adopted herein.
42. Interexchange Carriers. Neither the Commission nor the SBA has developed a size standard for small businesses specifically applicable to providers of interexchange services. The closest applicable size standard under the SBA rules is for Wired Telecommunications Carriers. Under that standard, such a business is small if it has 1,500 or fewer employees. 13 CFR 121.201, NAICS code 513310. According to the most recent Telephone Trends Report data, 229 carriers reported that their primary telecommunications service activity was the provision of interexchange services. Telephone Trends Report, Table 5.3. Of these 229 carriers, an estimated 181 have 1,500 or fewer employees and 48 have more than 1,500 employees. Id. Consequently, the Commission estimates that the majority of interexchange carriers are small entities that may be affected by the rules and policies adopted herein.
43. Operator Service Providers. Neither the Commission nor the SBA has developed a size standard for small businesses specifically applicable to operator service providers. The closest applicable size standard under the SBA rules is for Wired Telecommunications Carriers. Under that standard, such a business is small if it has 1,500 or fewer employees. 13 CFR 121.201, NAICS code 513310. According to the Commission's most recent Telephone Trends Report data, 22 companies reported that they were engaged in the provision of operator services. Telephone Trends Report, Table 5.3. Of these 22 companies, an estimated 20 have 1,500 or fewer employees and two have more than 1,500 employees. Id. Consequently, the Commission estimates that the great majority of operator service providers are small entities that may be affected by the rules and policies adopted herein.
44. Prepaid Calling Card Providers. The SBA has developed a size standard for small businesses within the category of Telecommunications Resellers. Under that SBA size standard, such a business is small if it has 1,500 or fewer employees. 13 CFR 121.201, NAICS code 513330. According to the Commission's most recent Telephone Trends Report data, 32 companies reported that they were engaged in the provision of prepaid calling cards. Telephone Trends Report, Table 5.3. Of these 32 companies, an estimated 31 have 1,500 or fewer employees and one has more than 1,500 employees. Id. Consequently, the Commission estimates that the great majority of prepaid calling card providers are small entities that may be affected by the rules and policies adopted herein.
45. Satellite Service Carriers. The SBA has developed a size standard for small businesses within the category of Satellite Telecommunications. Under that SBA size standard, such a business is small if it has $12.5 million or less in average annual receipts. 13 CFR 121.201, NAICS code 513340. According to the Commission's most recent Telephone Trends Report data, 31 carriers reported that they were engaged in the provision of satellite services. Telephone Trends Report, Table 5.3. Of these 31 carriers, an estimated 25 have 1,500 or fewer employees and six have more than 1,500 employees. Id. Consequently, the Commission estimates that most satellite service carriers are small entities that may be affected by the rules and policies adopted herein.
46. Other Toll Carriers. Neither the Commission nor the SBA has developed a size standard for small businesses specifically applicable to "Other Toll Carriers." This category includes toll carriers that do not fall within the categories of interexchange carriers, operator service providers, prepaid calling card providers, satellite service carriers, or toll resellers. The closest applicable size standard under the SBA rules is for Wired Telecommunications Carriers. Under that standard, such a business is small if it has 1,500 or fewer employees. 13 CFR 121.201, NAICS code 513310. According to the Commission's most recent Telephone Trends Report data, 42 carriers reported that they were engaged in the provision of "Other Toll" services. Telephone Trends Report, Table 5.3. Of these 42 carriers, an estimated 37 have 1,500 or fewer employees and five have more than 1,500 employees. Id. Consequently, the Commission estimates that most "Other Toll Carriers" are small entities that may be affected by the rules and policies adopted herein.
47. Wireless Service Providers. The SBA has developed a size standard for wireless small businesses within the two separate categories of Paging and of Cellular and Other Wireless Telecommunications. Under those SBA size standards, such a business is small if it has 1,500 or fewer employees. 13 CFR 121.201, NAICS code 513322. According to the Commission's most recent Telephone Trends Report data, 1,761 companies reported that they were engaged in the provision of wireless service. Telephone Trends Report, Table 5.3. Of these 1,761 companies, an estimated 1,175 have 1,500 or fewer employees and 586 have more than 1,500 employees. Id. Consequently, the Commission estimates that most wireless service providers are small entities that may be affected by the rules and policies adopted herein.
48. Broadband Personal Communications Service. The broadband personal communications service (PCS) spectrum is divided into six frequency blocks designated A through F, and the Commission has held auctions for each block. The Commission defined "small entity" for Blocks C and F as an entity that has average gross revenues of $40 million or less in the three previous calendar years. See Amendment of Parts 20 and 24 of the Commission's Rules-Broadband PCS Competitive Bidding and the Commercial Mobile Radio Service Spectrum Cap, WT Docket No. 96-59, Report and Order, 61 FR 33859, July 1, 1996; see also 47 CFR 24.720(b). For Block F, an additional classification for "very small business" was added and is defined as an entity that, together with affiliates, has average gross revenues of not more than $15 million for the preceding three calendar years. See Amendment of Parts 20 and 24 of the Commission's Rules-Broadband PCS Competitive Bidding and the Commercial Mobile Radio Service Spectrum Cap, WT Docket No. 96-59, Report and Order, 61 FR 33859, July 1, 1996. These standards defining "small entity" in the context of broadband PCS auctions have been approved by the SBA. See, e.g., Implementation of Section 309(j) of the Communications Act-Competitive Bidding, PP Docket No. 93-253, Fifth Report and Order, 59 FR 37566, July 22, 1994. No small businesses within the SBA-approved small business size standards bid successfully for licenses in Blocks A and B. There were 90 winning bidders that qualified as small entities in the Block C auctions. A total of 93 small and very small business bidders won approximately 40 percent of the 1,479 licenses for Blocks D, E, and F. FCC News, Broadband PCS, D, E and F Block Auction Closes, No. 71744 (rel. Jan. 14, 1997); see also Amendment of the Commission's Rules Regarding Installment Payment Financing for Personal Communications Services (PCS) Licensees, WT Docket No. 97-82, Second Report and Order, 62 FR 55348, October 24, 1997. On March 23, 1999, the Commission reauctioned 347 C, D, E, and F Block licenses. There were 48 small business winning bidders. On January 26, 2001, the Commission completed the auction of 422 C and F Broadband PCS licenses in Auction No. 35. Of the 35 winning bidders in this auction, 29 qualified as "small" or "very small" businesses. Based on this information, the Commission concludes that the number of small broadband PCS licensees will include the 90 winning C Block bidders, the 93 qualifying bidders in the D, E, and F Block auctions, the 48 winning bidders in the 1999 re-auction, and the 29 winning bidders in the 2001 re-auction, for a total of 260 small entity broadband PCS providers, as defined by the SBA small business size standards and the Commission's auction rules. Consequently, the Commission estimates that 260 broadband PCS providers are small entities that may be affected by the rules and policies adopted herein.
49. 800 MHz and 900 MHz Specialized Mobile Radio Licensees. The Commission awards "small entity" and "very small entity" bidding credits in auctions for Specialized Mobile Radio (SMR) geographic area licenses in the 800 MHz and 900 MHz bands to firms that had revenues of no more than $15 million in each of the three previous calendar years, or that had revenues of no more than $3 million in each of the three previous calendar years, respectively. 47 CFR 90.814. In the context of both the 800 MHz and 900 MHz SMR service, the definitions of "small entity" and "very small entity" have been approved by the SBA. These bidding credits apply to SMR providers in the 800 MHz and 900 MHz bands that either hold geographic area licenses or have obtained extended implementation authorizations. The Commission does not know how many firms provide 800 MHz or 900 MHz geographic area SMR service pursuant to extended implementation authorizations, nor how many of these providers have annual revenues of no more than $15 million. One firm has over $15 million in revenues. The Commission assumes, for its purposes here, that all of the remaining existing extended implementation authorizations are held by small entities, as that term is defined by the SBA. The Commission has held auctions for geographic area licenses in the 800 MHz and 900 MHz SMR bands. There were 60 winning bidders that qualified as small and very small entities in the 900 MHz auctions. Of the 1,020 licenses won in the 900 MHz auction, bidders qualifying as small and very small entities won 263 licenses. In the 800 MHz SMR auction, 38 of the 524 licenses won were won by small and very small entities. Consequently, the Commission estimates that there are 301 or fewer small entity SMR licensees in the 800 MHz and 900 MHz bands that may be affected by the rules and policies adopted herein.
50. Rural Radiotelephone Service. The Commission has not adopted a size standard for small businesses specific to the Rural Radiotelephone Service. The service is defined in 47 CFR 22.99. A significant subset of the Rural Radiotelephone Service is the Basic Exchange Telephone Radio Systems (BETRS). BETRS is defined in 47 CFR 22.757, 22.759. For purposes of this Supplemental FRFA, the Commission uses the SBA's size standard applicable to wireless service providers, supra -an entity employing no more than 1,500 persons. 13 CFR 121.201, NAICS codes 513321, 513322. There are approximately 1,000 licensees in the Rural Radiotelephone Service, and the Commission estimates that almost all of them qualify as small entities under the SBA's size standard. Consequently, the Commission estimates that there are 1,000 or fewer small entity licensees in the Rural Radiotelphone Service that may be affected by the rules and policies adopted herein.
51. Fixed Microwave Services. Microwave services include common carrier, private-operational fixed, and broadcast auxiliary radio services. For common carrier fixed microwave services (except Multipoint Distribution Service), see 47 CFR part 101 (formerly 47 CFR part 21). Persons eligible under parts 80 and 90 of the Commission's rules can use Private Operational-Fixed Microwave services. See 47 CFR parts 80, 90. Stations in this service are called operational-fixed to distinguish them from common carrier and public fixed stations. Only the licensee may use the operational-fixed station, and only for communications related to the licensee's commercial, industrial, or safety operations. Auxiliary Microwave Service is governed by 47 CFR part 74. The Auxiliary Microwave Service is available to licensees of broadcast stations and to broadcast and cable network entities. Broadcast auxiliary microwave stations are used for relaying broadcast television signals from the studio to the transmitter, or between two points, such as, a main studio and an auxiliary studio. The service also includes mobile TV pickups, which relay signals from a remote location back to the studio.
52. At present, there are approximately 22,015 common carrier fixed licensees and 61,670 private operational-fixed licensees and broadcast auxiliary radio licensees in the microwave services. The Commission has not created a size standard for a small business specifically with respect to microwave services. For purposes of this Supplemental FRFA, the Commission uses the SBA's size standard applicable to wireless service providers, supra -an entity with no more than 1,500 persons. 13 CFR 121.201, NAICS codes 513321, 513322. The Commission does not have data specifying the number of these licensees that have more than 1,500 employees, and thus is unable at this time to estimate with greater precision the number of fixed microwave service licensees that would qualify as small business concerns under the SBA's definition. Consequently, the Commission estimates that there are 22,015 or fewer small common carrier fixed microwave licensees and 61,670 or fewer small private operational-fixed microwave licensees and small broadcast auxiliary radio licensees in the microwave services that may be affected by the rules and policies adopted herein. The Commission notes, however, that the common carrier microwave fixed licensee category includes some large entities.
53. 39 GHz Licensees. The Commission has created a special small business size standard for 39 GHz licenses-an entity that has average gross revenues of $40 million or less in the three previous calendar years. See Amendment of the Commission's Rules Regarding the 37.0-38.6 GHz and 38.6-40.0 GHz Bands, ET Docket No. 95-183, Report and Order, 63 FR 6079, February 6, 1998. An additional size standard for "very small business" is: An entity that, together with affiliates, has average gross revenues of not more than $15 million for the preceding three calendar years. Id. The SBA has approved these size standards. See Letter to Kathleen O'Brien Ham, Chief, Auctions and Industry Analysis Division, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, FCC, from Aida Alvarez, Administrator, SBA (Feb. 4, 1998). The auction of the 2,173 39 GHz licenses began on April 12, 2000 and closed on May 8, 2000. The 18 bidders who claimed small business status won 849 licenses. Consequently, the Commission estimates that 18 or fewer 39 GHz licensees are small entities that may be affected by the rules and policies adopted herein.
Description of Projected Reporting, Recordkeeping, and Other Compliance Requirements
54. As mandated by the court in the Illinois decision, the Commission established in this Order a compensation procedure for resolving monthly payments and refunds between PSPs and carriers for the Interim Period, beginning November 7, 1996, through October 6, 1997, where PSPs and carriers may have been overpaid or underpaid for per-payphone compensation. The Commission also applied the Interim Period procedures to cover the subsequent Intermediate Period, beginning October 7, 1997, through April 20, 1999. With this exception, this Order imposes no new reporting, recordkeeping or other compliance requirements not previously adopted in this or related payphone proceedings.
Steps Taken To Minimize Significant Economic Impact on Small Entities, and Significant Alternatives Considered
55. Although the Commission rejected a proposal to establish a carrier-to-carrier payment mechanism for resolving payments and refunds due to the degree of regulatory intervention it would require, the Commission specified carrier-specific per-call costs that can be used by carriers and PSPs to calculate total overpayments or underpayments. The Commission also affirmed the conclusions reached in the Fourth Reconsideration Order that alternative payment arrangements can be made between or among carriers, provided affected PSPs agree. Adoption of this payment scheme will minimize the economic impact and administrative burden for both payors and recipients of per-payphone compensation, including small entities.
56. The Commission recognized in this Order that small entities such as PSPs would be disadvantaged by true up and offset mechanisms used in the per-call compensation process because carriers could use a self-help remedy of withholding future payments from PSPs and would have no incentive to resolve such disputes in a timely manner. See paragraph 20, supra. The Commission affirmed the conclusion reached in the Third Report and Order that carriers may deduct the remaining overpayments from future payments to PSPs, but clarified that it may only be done as follows: (1) Carriers may only withhold undisputed amounts from future payments; (2) carriers may not withhold any amounts from future payments until PSPs and carriers have had an opportunity to apply the refund against Interim and Intermediate Period compensation claimed by the PSP; and (3) carriers must allow PSPs to make payments of refunds over multiple future payments subject to ongoing accrual of interest, if reasonably requested by the PSP. These procedural safeguards will restore necessary measures of fairness to the process for small entities.
