§  64.1503   Termination of pay-per-call and other information programs.

   (a) Any common carrier assigning a telephone number to a provider of
   interstate pay-per-call service shall specify by contract or tariff
   that pay-per-call programs not in compliance with § 64.1502 shall be
   terminated following written notice to the information provider. The
   information provider shall be afforded a period of no less than seven
   and no more than 14 days during which a program may be brought into
   compliance. Programs not in compliance at the expiration of such period
   shall be terminated immediately.

   (b) Any common carrier providing transmission or billing and collection
   services to a provider of interstate information service through any
   800 telephone number, or other telephone number advertised or widely
   understood to be toll-free, shall promptly investigate any complaint
   that such service is not provided in accordance with § 64.1504 or
   § 64.1510(c), and, if the carrier reasonably determines that the
   complaint is valid, may terminate the provision of service to an
   information provider unless the provider supplies evidence of a written
   agreement that meets the requirements of this § 64.1504(c)(1).
