## Abstract

The Common Carrier Bureau adopted a Memorandum Opinion and Order (``Order''), which grants interexchange carriers (``IXCs'') a waiver of the payphone compensation requirements of the Payphone Orders to enable them to pay to payphone service providers (``PSPs'') per- phone instead of per-call compensation for subscriber 800 and access code calls from payphones when payphone-specific coding digits are not available from those payphones. The Order also serves as a companion to the Bureau Coding Digit Waiver Order, because in the Order the Bureau grants IXCs a waiver of the per-call compensation requirement so they may pay per-phone instead of per-call compensation for the payphones for which the Bureau granted waivers in the Bureau Waiver Order and the Bureau Coding Digit Waiver Order.
