The proposed collection seeks existing
data regarding each Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers' (ILECs)
records of consumer complaints for cramming. Cramming is the
placement of invalid or unclear charges on consumers' local
telephone bills. ILECs possess information that will assist the
Commission in determining the degree to which the anti-cramming
best practices have been effective during the past year. The
information also will provide the Commission with the ability to
suggest modifications to the guidelines prior to
competition.
