## Abstract

On October 7, 1997, the Common Carrier Bureau granted, on its own motion, a limited waiver of five months, until March 9, 1998, to those local exchange carriers and payphone service providers that cannot provide payphone-specific digits as required by orders in this proceeding. This limited waiver applied to the requirement that local exchange carriers provide payphone-specific coding digits to payphone service providers, and that payphone service providers provide coding digits from their payphones before they can receive per-call compensation from interexchange carriers for subscriber 800 and access code calls, and 0+ and inmate calls. The limited waiver recognized that three parties had filed petitions for waiver of the payphone-specific coding digit requirements.
