Sec.  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  Sec. 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  Sec. 64.1504 or  Sec. 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
    Sec. 64.1504(c)(1).
