Operator Service Access and Payphone Compensation

On April 9, 1992, the Commission adopted a Second Report and Order prescribing an interim mechanism by which competitive payphone owners (``PPOs'') may collect compensation from certain interexchange carriers (``IXCs'') for originating interstate access code calls from their payphones. In the Memorandum Opinion and Order on Reconsideration, adopted August 17, 1993, the Commission substantially affirmed the Second Report and Order, although the Commission modified it in certain respects.

Protecting Against National Security Threats to the Communications Supply Chain Through the Equipment Authorization Program

In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission or FCC) takes further steps to strengthen its equipment authorization program against national security risks to the communications supply chain. The Commission closes a component-part loophole by prohibiting authorization of devices that incorporate logic-bearing hardware components produced by an entity identified on the Commission's Covered List, where the device would itself be prohibited from authorization had the Covered List entity produced the entire device. The Commission also requires that any modification or permissive change to equipment by an entity identified on the Covered List undergo full certification, clarifies that its marketing rules reach any entity (including online marketplaces) that markets unauthorized equipment, and requires online marketplaces, subject to limited exceptions, to display a device's FCC ID at the online point of sale.
