Section 69.153 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 69.153, provides for recovery of the PICC, subject to varying caps on PICC levels, from residential and business lines.  e!4 The Common Carrier Bureau has received a number of letters from firms that provide or market operator services, asserting that the Commission's rules governing the  e4implementation of the PICC are unclear when applied to payphones.J nZ1'ԍ#B7  PT6QAP# These letters are identified in Question 1, below.#[R  PQ P#Ѫ $Kn X01Í ÍX01Í Í $Kn  These letters raise several issues related to the assessment of PICCs on public payphone lines. Specifically, these letters assert that price cap LECs, among other practices, generally are assessing multiline business PICCs for "smart," privatelyowned payphones on the presubscribed 1+ interstate, interLATA carrier, while they are assessing the PICC for LECowned public payphones on the presubscribed 0+ interstate, interLATA carrier. In addition, these letters suggest that section 69.153 does not or should not permit imposition of multiline business PICCs on LECowned payphones. In light of the fact that the Commission's rules do not clearly state which PIC the 0+ carrier or the 1+ carrier may be charged the PICC in the case of public payphones, we seek comment on the letters identified below, as well as several specific questions. Interested parties are invited to file comments on these letters, and on the list of questions in Attachment 1. Commenters should restate and underline each question above their responses. Comments should follow the order of the questions. Comments should be filed on or before  e%4 May 26, 1998 . Reply comments should be filed on or before June 2, 1998 . Interested parties must file an original and four copies of their comments with the Office of the Secretary, Federal Communications Commission, Room 222, 19191 M Street, N.W., Washington, D.C.  eB(420554, in accordance with 47 C.F.R. 1.51(c).

Waldron, Boston Telecommunications Company, to Jane Jackson, Chief, Competitive Pricing Division, Common Carrier Bureau, Federal Communications Commission, April 22, 1998.(#` We also seek comment on the following specific questions:  e4(2)XDoes the Commission's existing rule governing collection of the PICC, 47 C.F.R. 69.153, permit price cap LECs to impose PICC charges for LEC public payphone lines and, if not, whether the rule should be amended to provide explicitly for assessment of PICCs on public payphone lines?(#  e,4(3)XAssuming that price cap LECs are permitted to assess PICC charges on public payphone lines, should the PICC be: (a) charged to the presubscribed 1+ carrier; (b) charged to the presubscribed 0+ carrier; (c) imputed to the LEC's payphone unit as an end user; (d) split evenly between the 1+ and 0+ PIC; or (e) prorated among all IXCs that carry calls originating from a particular payphone each month? Commenters may also propose other alternatives methods for allocating the public payphone PICC.(#  e74(4)XShould all public payphones should be charged the multiline business PICC, or should some public payphones, such as those that constitute the only telephone line at a given location, be charged the singleline business PICC?(#  e!4(5)XDo policy reasons, practical considerations, or other factors suggest that price cap LECs should be permitted to assess PICCs on the LEC's public payphone lines that are different in amount, or collected from a different party, from those assessed on privatelyowned payphones?(#  e%4(6)XTo what degree could imposition of PICC charges on any of the parties listed in Question (3), above, cause reductions in the availability of public payphone services, increases in rates, or reduction in competition for interstate, interLATA traffic originating from public payphones?(# "p),**})"Ԍ Y4#XnR  PQ  XP#
