## Abstract

The Common Carrier Bureau adopted a Memorandum Opinion and Order, which clarifies the requirements for the provision of payphone- specific coding digits by local exchange carriers (LECs) and payphone service providers (PSPs) to interexchange carriers (IXCs). The order also clarifies that automatic number identification indicators (``ANI ii'') and flexible automatic numbering identification (``FLEX ANI''), are the methods to provide payphone-specific coding digits that comply with the requirements of the Payphone Orders. In addition, the order clarifies the tariff requirements that LECs must file pursuant to the Payphone Orders. The order also grants a waiver of part 69 of the Commission's rules so that LECs can establish rate elements to recover the costs of implementing FLEX ANI to provide payphone-specific coding digits for per-call compensation. Additionally, this order provides limited waivers to LECs, PSPs, and IXCs, when appropriate, to facilitate the implementation of per call compensation.
