Abstract
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.
