## Abstract

In this document, the Commission clarifies that the price disclosure rules apply to all interstate non-access code operator service calls. The Commission confirms that section 226 of the Communications Act requires price disclosure for all interstate non- access code operator service calls. The Commission also clarifies that the disclosure of price information is limited to those charges that are billed by, or on behalf of, the interstate operator service provider. The Commission retains the requirement that oral rate information must be provided to both parties on a collect call. Finally, the Commission amends the rules to reflect that, in a bill-to- third-number situation, the rate disclosure option must be offered to the party to be billed, if the OSP contacts that person to secure approval for billing, as well as to the caller. These minor clarifications and changes will better ensure the effectiveness of the rules in enabling consumers to take advantage of competition in the operator services marketplace, while minimizing administrative burdens.
