# §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](/cfr/47/64.1502.md) 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](/cfr/47/64.1504.md) or [§ 64.1510(c)](/cfr/47/64.1510.md?p=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)](/cfr/47/64.1504.md?p=c-1).
