A020 focused component: federal telephone-bill truth-in-billing requirements and the limits of payment, disconnection, and dispute inferences

The selected federal subpart imposes bill-content, identification, description, and dispute-contact duties on covered telecommunications common carriers, and separately prohibits unauthorized telephone-bill charges. Its disconnection provision requires a particular disclosure about basic local service. It does not establish a general suspension of disconnection during billing disputes, a payment-allocation sequence, or a rule that partial payment preserves service. Those conclusions follow from the complete text of §§ 64.2400–64.2401 and the relevant adopted interpretations described below. ecfr.gov+2

Actual research date: October 27, 2026, America/Los_Angeles. A clock check recorded 23:11:59 UTC / 16:11:59 PDT that day. This was a fresh investigation of published sources; no prior report, prior chat, actual bill, provider record, account, or customer information supplied its foundation.

Currentness qualification: The final eCFR retrieval displayed Title 47 as current through October 26, 2026. That is the title-wide update date, not an amendment date for Subpart Y. I also read the official October 1, 2025 CFR edition, which contains the same Subpart Y provisions. The House statutory pages reported laws in effect through Public Law 119-120, October 7, 2026. These observations do not constitute a complete October 27 Federal Register lag audit, a 2026 annual-CFR audit, or a session-law completeness audit. ecfr.gov+2

The report distinguishes:

  • Current text from historical text and proposed amendments.
  • Statutory authority from an operative regulatory duty.
  • Adopted interpretations from conclusions drawn here.
  • A generic legal rule from its unresolved application to an actual actor, service, bill, charge, payment, or threatened disconnection.

No individual liability, eligibility, creditworthiness, amount, deadline, remedy, or filing determination is made.

1. Source table

Reading and citation conventions

Every source below was accessed during this investigation on 2026-10-27. “Fresh” means its identified body or clauses were read for this assignment; subsequent references reuse that reading. Sections of one document are grouped and are not treated as independent corroboration.

PDF indices are zero-based. A stated PDF file range identifies the document’s pages; the “read bounds” column states which material was actually read. PDF reading was through parsed text. No PDF pixels, bill images, sample-bill layouts, or complete visual forms were inspected.

For House statutory sources, H-version means the displayed compilation reported laws in effect through Public Law 119-120, October 7, 2026. It is a compilation status, not a newly enacted date for every quoted section.

R020-P1-C001 The retrieved current Subpart Y consists of §§ 64.2400 and 64.2401, including paragraphs (a)–(g); it remains printed in the current eCFR. S001, complete subpart; S029, proposed instructions 9–10. Version observation through the displayed October 26, 2026 update. Current-text finding, subject to the stated publication-lag gap; not proof that no later document could exist.
R020-P1-C002 The general gate is telecommunications common carriers and bills containing intrastate or interstate service charges; § 64.2401 addresses telephone bills. S001, § 64.2400(b), § 64.2401. Actor, service, and bill must be classified before applying particular duties. Current rule. A marketing label such as “communications,” “phone,” or “utility” does not establish the gate.
R020-P1-C003 Telecommunications concerns user-chosen information transmitted between user-specified points without change in form/content; telecommunications service concerns offering telecommunications for a fee to the public or effectively public classes. S002, § 153(50), (53), complete definitions. Service offered, not simply the physical medium, matters. Statute. The definition does not classify an actual offering here.
R020-P1-C004 A telecommunications carrier is treated as a common carrier only to the extent it provides telecommunications services; the statutory aggregator exclusion uses § 226’s specific definition. S002, § 153(51); S003, § 226(a)(2). The operator-service aggregator definition is not synonymous with every billing aggregator or clearinghouse. Statute. Corporate identity alone does not make every product a common-carrier service.
R020-P1-C005 Information service covers specified information-processing or access capabilities through telecommunications, with the statutory telecommunications-management exclusion. S002, § 153(24). Full definition and its exclusion matter. Statute. “Uses telecommunications” does not itself mean “telecommunications service.”
R020-P1-C006 Customer-premises equipment is separately defined as premises equipment used to originate, route, or terminate telecommunications. S002, § 153(16). Equipment may appear as a charge on a covered bill. Statute plus boundary inference. Equipment status alone does not establish Subpart Y coverage or liability.
R020-P1-C007 Exchange-service and toll-service definitions are distinct; Subpart Y does not itself supply a complete nationwide definition of “basic local service” or a universal list of disconnectable charges. S002, § 153(54), (55); S001, § 64.2401(c); S014, synopsis ¶ 23. Basic-local and charge classifications remain necessary. Statute/rule plus bounded negative finding. Do not automatically substitute “all telephone service” for “basic local service.”
R020-P1-C008 The original FCC truth-in-billing interpretation relied centrally on § 201(b) and § 258; the 2018 unauthorized-charge codification also rests on § 201(b). S004; S005; S014, synopsis ¶ 10 and ordering clauses; S028, synopsis ¶¶ 8–9. Just-and-reasonable common-carrier practices and authorized carrier selection supply distinct statutory foundations. Statutory authority and adopted interpretation. They do not turn every disputed utility charge into a federal telephone-billing claim.
R020-P1-C009 The FCC adopted the billing rules for intrastate as well as interstate charges, explaining its specific authority notwithstanding the general intrastate reservation. S006, § 152(a)–(b); S014, synopsis ¶ 10; S001, § 64.2400(b). Subject to the express intrastate-only exceptions in C014. Current rule and adopted interpretation. Neither “all intrastate bills excluded” nor “all intrastate utilities included” follows.
R020-P1-C010 Sections 151, 154(i)–(j), 303(r), and 403 provide supporting institutional, rulemaking, procedural, or inquiry powers. S007; S025, ordering ¶¶ 26–27. Powers remain bounded by their text and the Communications Act. Delegation. No payment moratorium, debt cancellation, or personal award is inferred from an authority citation.
R020-P1-C011 CMRS status depends on the statutory/regulatory commercial-mobile criteria; private mobile service is not made a common carrier merely by being mobile. S008, § 332(c)(1)–(2), (d); S011, § 20.3 definitions. Relevant factors include profit, interconnection, public availability or functional equivalence. Part 15 unlicensed devices are excluded from the CMRS definition. Statute/regulation. No actual classification or license query was performed.
R020-P1-C012 Mobile exemption and general forbearance powers require statutory predicates; they are not automatic exemptions. S008, § 332(c)(1)(A)–(C); S009, § 160(a)–(e). Section 332’s exemption power excludes §§ 201, 202, 208; § 160 separately operates notwithstanding § 332(c)(1)(A), subject to its determinations. Delegated power. No carrier-specific exemption or forbearance order is assumed.
R020-P1-C013 Section 64.2400(b)(1) expressly exempts CMRS and the specified other mobile providers from (a)(2), (a)(3), (c), and (f). S001, § 64.2400(b)(1). It does not list (a)(1), (a)(4), (b), (d), (e), or (g). The general carrier gate remains relevant. Current exemption. It is not an exemption from all truth-in-billing duties.
R020-P1-C014 Bills containing only intrastate services are exempt from (a)(3) and (f). S001, § 64.2400(b)(2); S025, final scope amendment. Applies to the bill’s qualifying service content, not merely a customer’s location. Current exemption. Does not remove description, contact, unauthorized-charge, or otherwise applicable paragraph (c) duties.
R020-P1-C015 The mobile exemption still cites §§ 20.7 and 20.9, although those sections are now reserved. Their 2018 removal did not expressly delete Subpart Y’s mobile exemption. S001, § 64.2400(b)(1); S011; S013, final instructions and synopsis. Current mobile definitions and the statute remain relevant. Text finding plus inference: a stale cross-reference is not a sound basis to erase an express exemption. No judicial holding on this precise cross-reference was located or claimed.
R020-P1-C016 The incorporated interconnected-VoIP definition requires real-time two-way voice, broadband from the user’s location, IP-compatible equipment, and generally inbound/outbound PSTN calling; its broader outbound-only limb is expressly for 911 compliance. S002, § 153(25); S012, complete definition. Subpart Y does not expressly declare every interconnected-VoIP provider a covered telecommunications common carrier. Definition established; coverage unknown without the offering’s classification and applicable authority. No blanket inclusion or exemption of all VoIP.
R020-P1-C017 The published Ohio Telecom majority classified the mass-market broadband internet access service before it as an information service and mobile broadband as private mobile service. S030, pp. 8–26; S031, Parts 8/20 restoration. Concerns the defined broadband internet access offering, not every separately sold transmission service or every IP voice product. Published holding and restored regulatory text. Standalone mass-market broadband does not establish the Subpart Y carrier gate by that service alone.
R020-P1-C018 Providing cable service does not, merely for that reason, subject a cable system to common-carrier or utility regulation. S010, §§ 522(6), 541(c). A separate telecommunications offering or a covered combined telephone bill requires separate analysis. Statute. Not a determination of cable-bill, equipment, termination, or franchise rights.
R020-P1-C019 Electricity, gas, water, sewer, trash, equipment, and municipal ownership do not themselves establish telephone-billing coverage; Subpart Y contains no general municipal-ownership or small-carrier exemption. S001, complete scope; S002, service definitions. Classify the actual service and actor rather than the utility label or ownership form. Boundary inference. Outside this selected rule does not mean outside all regulation.
R020-P1-C020 Subpart Y preserves consistent state truth-in-billing requirements; the specific FCC blanket CMRS line-item preemption ruling was vacated. S001, § 64.2400(c); S008, § 332(c)(3); S023–S024. Other federal preemption or forbearance questions remain possible and are not resolved wholesale. Current rule; limited judicial holding. No conclusion that every state requirement is valid or invalid.

The underlying distinction is service-specific: a business may supply a telecommunications service, an information service, equipment, and other products without those products all acquiring the same federal classification. The source statutes, the mobile provisions, and the published broadband decision are the foundations for that distinction. uscode.house.gov+3

2B. Organization, identities, descriptions, and charge presentation

Claim ID Precise claim / area Source and pinpoint Trigger, conditions, and exceptions Status and limits
R020-P1-C021 Covered telephone bills must be clearly organized. S001, § 64.2401(a). General requirement remains even when an individual subparagraph is exempted. Current duty owed by covered carrier. No universal template is prescribed.
R020-P1-C022 Each charge must be associated clearly and conspicuously with its service provider’s name. Identifying only a billing intermediary does not necessarily identify that provider. S001, (a)(1); S014, synopsis ¶¶ 11–15. Applies to the covered telephone bill; mobile exemption does not remove (a)(1). Current duty/adopted interpretation. Identity disclosure is not proof of authority to charge.
R020-P1-C023 A commonly known trade name can identify the provider; the FCC did not invariably require the precise corporate-subsidiary name. S017, synopsis ¶ 10. Name must still perform the identification function. Adopted interpretation. Does not excuse misleading identity or concealment of a real provider change.
R020-P1-C024 When charges from two or more carriers share a bill, charges must be separated by provider. S001, (a)(2); S014, synopsis ¶¶ 11–15. Mobile exception C013 applies. Current duty. No universal separate-page requirement or prescribed heading follows from this paragraph.
R020-P1-C025 The FCC allowed a single listing for a bundle marketed by one company notwithstanding multiple underlying provisioning carriers. S017, synopsis ¶ 9; S025, synopsis on existing bundles. Limited bundle interpretation; adequate identification, description, and inquiry access remain necessary. Adopted interpretation. Does not eliminate the later distinct-section rule when its third-party-charge trigger is met.
R020-P1-C026 A carrier placing third-party non-telecommunications charges on its telephone bill must put them in a distinct section, separate from all carrier charges. S001, (a)(3); S025, final amendment and ¶¶ 22–24. Mobile and intrastate-only exceptions C013–C014 apply. Current duty. Charge/service classification matters; “third party” alone does not make every charge this category.
R020-P1-C027 Charges in each distinct section required by (a)(3) must be separately subtotaled. S001, (a)(3); S025, final amendment. Applies when (a)(3) is triggered and not exempted. Current duty. A single undifferentiated grand total is insufficient for that requirement.
R020-P1-C028 On paper bills, carrier/non-carrier subtotals must also appear conspicuously with the bill total on the payment page. S001, (a)(3); S025, final amendment. The rule specifies this placement even though it does not prescribe the entire bill format. Current duty. A subtotal elsewhere does not by itself answer the payment-page condition.
R020-P1-C029 For electronic bills, the required subtotals accompany the total at every defined equivalent location, including a total displayed before the full bill is opened. S001, (a)(3), second paragraph; S025. Includes applicable email, website-link/notice, and payment-portal total displays. Current duty. A compliant downloadable statement alone does not establish compliance of a separate total display.
R020-P1-C030 The bill must conspicuously identify a service-provider change, including charges from a new provider. S001, current (a)(4); S017, amended former (a)(3); S025, redesignation. Mobile exception does not remove current (a)(4). Current on-bill duty. No general advance-notice period is specified here.
R020-P1-C031 “New provider” uses that provider’s own last billing cycle and a continuing relationship expected to generate periodic charges unless canceled. S001, (a)(4); S017, synopsis ¶¶ 3–6. One-off transactions do not automatically meet that definition; other bill duties remain. Current definition/adopted interpretation. Not a fixed-day lookback, cancellation right, or termination-fee waiver.
R020-P1-C032 A charge description must be brief, understandable, nonmisleading, and sufficiently specific to let the customer compare the service and price with what was requested, received, and understood. S001, (b); S014, synopsis ¶¶ 16–20. Applies to covered bills, including CMRS after the scope amendment. Current duty. A vague catch-all may fail even if a provider name is present.
R020-P1-C033 A clear section-level description can avoid redundant repetition; familiar service terms need not always be separately defined. S014, synopsis ¶¶ 18–20. Context must still make the charged service intelligible. Adopted interpretation. Permission to aggregate is not permission to obscure charge identity or defeat (a)(3).
R020-P1-C034 A carrier-imposed charge presented falsely as a tax or government-required charge can be misleading. The 2005 interpretation also places a substantiation burden on a carrier claiming conformity with a specific government/regulatory-program fee. S021, substantive synopsis, printed 29980–29981, PDF 1–2; S014, ¶¶ 25–36. Actual legal incidence and amount authority must be established separately. Adopted interpretation. No actual tax, fee ceiling, pass-through entitlement, or restitution amount is determined.
R020-P1-C035 The 1999 discussion of standardized regulatory-charge labels did not supply a presently operative universal list of mandatory labels or safe-harbor wording. S014, synopsis ¶¶ 25–36, especially 30 and 32; S001, complete current text. The FCC deferred selection of particular uniform labels and rejected particular safe-harbor language there. Historical interpretation/current-text finding. Truthful description remains required; historical fee-recovery discussion is not a complete current fee-amount rule.

These duties allow flexibility in layout, but the flexibility has boundaries: provider separation, the special third-party section, subtotals, and payment-page/electronic-total placement are actual conditions. “No prescribed template” does not erase them. govinfo.gov+2

2C. Dispute contacts, blocking, and unauthorized charges

Claim ID Precise claim / area Source and pinpoint Trigger, conditions, and exceptions Status and limits
R020-P1-C036 Each covered bill must conspicuously supply information needed to inquire about or contest charges, including prominently displayed toll-free number(s) covering the bill’s charges. S001, (d), first two sentences; S017, complete amended (d). Subject to the exclusively electronic alternative in C038. Current carrier duty to subscriber. Not a prescribed investigation outcome or universal response deadline.
R020-P1-C037 A billing agent, clearinghouse, or other third party may provide the contact number only if it has sufficient information and full authority to resolve complaints on the carrier’s behalf. S001, (d); S014, synopsis ¶ 37; S017. A qualifying contact may cover multiple charges; mere call routing is insufficient. Current conditional alternative. Listing an agent does not transfer away the carrier’s duty.
R020-P1-C038 Email or a website address on the bill may substitute when the subscriber receives no paper copy and accesses the bill only electronically. S001, (d); S017, synopsis ¶ 11. Exclusively electronic billing is the condition; ordinary paper-plus-web access is different. Current conditional alternative. Adopted interpretation expects usable inquiry resolution, not merely an irrelevant homepage.
R020-P1-C039 Each carrier must make a business address available when a consumer requests it. S001, final sentence of (d). Request triggers the address obligation. Current duty. This sentence does not require the business address to be printed on every bill.
R020-P1-C040 “Clear and conspicuous” means apparent to a reasonable consumer. S001, (e); S017, complete amended (e). Applies to the section’s notices. Current definition. No universal font size, heading, color, or page count is specified.
R020-P1-C041 A carrier that offers third-party-charge blocking must conspicuously notify subscribers at the point of sale and on its website. S001, (f)(1); S025; S027. Offered blocking option; mobile/intrastate-only exceptions apply. Current conditional duty. The actual scope of the offered block must not be assumed.
R020-P1-C042 A carrier offering that blocking option must also disclose it on each telephone bill. S001, (f)(2); S027. Same offering and scope predicates. Current conditional duty. Website disclosure alone does not satisfy the separate bill condition.
R020-P1-C043 Subpart Y does not itself require every carrier to offer blocking, free blocking, default blocking, or a universal written opt-in procedure. S025, synopsis/alternatives ¶¶ 21–24; S001, complete (f), (g). Authorization under (g) remains independently required. Bounded negative finding. No inference that billing without subscriber authorization is permitted.
R020-P1-C044 A carrier must not place or cause an unauthorized charge to be placed on any telephone bill; the rule is not confined to third-party charges and is not among the mobile exemptions. S001, (g), § 64.2400(b)(1); S028, synopsis ¶¶ 8–9 and final text. Subscriber authorization is the operative condition. Current substantive prohibition, covering the carrier’s own and third-party billing within scope.
R020-P1-C045 A neutral provider name or intelligible description does not prove consent, a contract, a lawful amount, tax status, restitution, or resolution of a dispute. S001, separate (a), (b), (d), (g); S004; S005. Each proposition needs its own legal and evidentiary foundation. Inference from separate duties. Paragraph (g) does not itself prescribe a universal consent-evidence form, adjudicative burden, or refund timetable.

The 2018 order describes paragraph (g) as codifying the FCC’s existing treatment of unauthorized billing under § 201(b). Its effective date is therefore a date for the codified paragraph, not a conclusion that unauthorized billing was lawful before that date. govinfo.gov+1

2D. Payment, disconnection, inquiries, and dispute limits

Claim ID Precise claim / area Source and pinpoint Trigger, conditions, and exceptions Status and limits
R020-P1-C046 Paragraph (c) addresses a bill containing basic local service plus other charges and requires differentiation between charges whose nonpayment will and will not result in disconnection of basic local service. S001, complete (c). Mobile exception applies; a bill with no basic local service does not satisfy this trigger. Current disclosure rule. It does not command disconnection or independently decide when disconnection is lawful.
R020-P1-C047 The adopted interpretation says whether a charge is deniable varies with state law and addresses bills containing both categories; it does not preempt states that had not adopted that distinction. S014, synopsis ¶¶ 21–23. State/service categorization must be established. Adopted interpretation. “Non-basic” is not automatically “non-deniable.”
R020-P1-C048 The carrier must explain the distinction and identify the non-deniable charges conspicuously on the bill; the rule also permits other on-bill methods explaining that charges may be contested before payment. S001, (c), second and third sentences; S014, ¶ 22. The words “deniable” and “non-deniable” themselves need not be used. Current duty and permitted presentation method. The contest-before-payment language is not a universal stay.
R020-P1-C049 A later pre-termination or dunning message does not replace the required on-bill distinction. S014, synopsis ¶ 24. Applicable mixed bill and disclosure obligation. Adopted interpretation. Separate termination-notice law remains unreviewed.
R020-P1-C050 The FCC permitted an accurate aggregate basic-local amount and total, with an adequate explanation, instead of separately labeling every individual charge. S017, synopsis ¶¶ 7–8. The presentation must convey the distinction; inquiry staff must clarify it when needed. Adopted interpretation. No particular sample layout was inspected or approved here.
R020-P1-C051 A charge can be non-deniable for basic local service while nonpayment still permits termination of the separate service associated with that charge. S014, synopsis ¶ 21. Depends on the separate service’s governing law and contract. Adopted distinction. No promise that every service remains connected.
R020-P1-C052 Nothing in the complete selected subpart establishes an automatic disconnection or collection hold merely because an inquiry or dispute is pending. S001, entire subpart; S014, ¶¶ 21–24, 37–39; S017, ¶¶ 7–11. Other applicable law may supply protections, but must be separately identified. Bounded negative finding. A purpose statement, contact requirement, or contest notice cannot supply an unstated universal moratorium.
R020-P1-C053 Subpart Y supplies no payment-allocation sequence or general rule that a partial payment must first satisfy basic local charges or preserve service. S001, entire subpart; S014/S017, disconnection interpretations. Allocation, tender, and remaining balance facts and governing law are necessary. Bounded negative finding. No payment recommendation or actual allocation determination.
R020-P1-C054 This subpart does not establish a universal grace period, debt cancellation, credit-reporting ban, restitution formula, or personal legal deadline. S001, entire subpart. Separate statutes, rules, contracts, and remedies may matter. Bounded negative finding, not a denial that such protections may exist elsewhere.

3. Actor, service, bill, charge, description, contact, and disconnection comparison

“Applies” below means if the stated generic predicates are established, not that any actual provider or bill has been classified.

Actor / service / bill branch Charge and organization consequence Description and dispute-contact consequence Permissible disconnection inference Claims
Covered wireline common-carrier telephone bill containing interstate or mixed interstate/intrastate services Apply provider identity; carrier separation when multiple carriers; special third-party non-telecommunications section/subtotals when triggered; new-provider identification when triggered. (b), (d), (e), and (g) apply; conditional blocking notices under (f). (c) applies only with its basic-local/mixed-charge predicates; no general stay. C002, C021–C054
Covered wireline bill containing only intrastate services (a)(3) is exempt; other relevant organization duties remain. Description, inquiry contacts, and unauthorized-charge prohibition remain; (f) exempt. Intrastate-only status does not itself remove (c). C014, C046–C053
Covered CMRS telephone bill (a)(2), (a)(3), (c), (f) exempt; provider identity and provider-change duties remain. Description, contacts, reasonable-consumer notice standard, and unauthorized-charge prohibition remain. No basic-local-disconnection disclosure right under (c) from this subpart. No inference that wireless shutoff is unrestricted. C011–C015, C032, C036–C045
Other mobile service First establish common-carrier coverage and the mobile category; do not use a licensing label as a substitute. Apply the explicit exemption structure only after classification. No account-specific inference. C011–C015
Separate covered toll/interexchange bill with no basic local charge Ordinary applicable bill rules remain; multi-carrier/third-party triggers still require examination. Description/contact duties remain. No (c) trigger merely because it is a telephone bill. C007, C046–C047
Interconnected VoIP offering Definition can be identified, but blanket Subpart Y coverage cannot be inferred from that definition. Need actual legal classification and any applicable extension of duties; none assumed. No telephone-disconnection protection inferred solely from the VoIP label. C016, C064
Standalone mass-market broadband internet access Under the read majority/restoration, the service alone does not supply telecommunications-common-carrier status. This does not decide separate broadband disclosure requirements. Subpart Y supplies no internet-service continuity promise. C005, C017, C062
Cable television service alone Cable provision alone does not make the system a common carrier or utility. Separate cable law remains held. No cable shutoff or equipment-return conclusion. C018
Equipment or other non-telecommunications product on a covered telephone bill Identify whether the charge is the carrier’s own or a qualifying third party’s; (a)(3) cannot be assumed merely from the product name. Applicable description, identity, inquiry, and authorization duties still matter. Charge classification and applicable state/contract law remain necessary. C006, C025–C029, C044–C053
Standalone equipment, electric, gas, water, sewer, or trash bill Product or municipal ownership alone does not meet the selected telephone-rule gate. No Subpart Y compliance conclusion; other regimes preserved. No utility shutoff, deposit, or assistance conclusion. C019, C064
Billing agent or clearinghouse handling a covered carrier’s inquiries Its name does not automatically replace the actual service-provider identity. Contact substitution requires information and full complaint-resolution authority. Its involvement creates no independent payment hold. C022, C037
Bundle marketed by one company Limited bundle aggregation may be permissible; qualifying third-party charges and applicable subtotals remain separate questions. Bundle description must still be understandable and inquiry coverage adequate. A bundle does not itself make every charge deniable or non-deniable. C025–C035, C047

The comparison preserves a distinction between a product outside the selected subpart by itself and that product’s charge appearing on a covered telephone bill. It also preserves the difference between a common-carrier entity and the particular service for which it acts as a common carrier. uscode.house.gov+3

4. What the payment/disconnection provision does—and what remains unresolved

The relevant provision is § 64.2401(c). Its title and consumer-protection purpose cannot replace its actual conditions.

Question Result under this selected subpart Exact unresolved matter
Must a covered mixed bill explain which charges do not threaten basic local service? Yes, where (c)’s applicable categories and bill predicates exist; the non-deniable category must be identified on the bill. Which charges belong in each category under governing service/state law.
Does “not basic local service” automatically mean “cannot affect basic local service”? No. The FCC expressly tied deniability to state law. Applicable state commission law, tariff framework, service classification, and any other controlling law.
Does a pending inquiry automatically stop disconnection? No such general stay appears in Subpart Y. Any separate statutory, commission, tariff, contractual, or charge-specific protection and its conditions.
Does asserting that a charge was unauthorized automatically resolve the dispute? No. Paragraph (g) prohibits unauthorized billing, but the assertion and the factual/legal determination are different. Authorization evidence, applicable procedures, fact resolution, and any resulting remedy.
Does payment of a selected portion necessarily preserve basic service? Subpart Y establishes no allocation or partial-payment rule. How payment is legally allocated; what remains unpaid; whether tender or designation is effective; applicable disconnection law.
Does an accurate non-deniable disclosure preserve the separate product or service? Not necessarily. The 1999 interpretation expressly distinguished loss of basic local service from termination of the other service. Separate service’s lawful termination conditions.
Does a billing violation erase the underlying debt or prohibit reporting? Subpart Y does not supply those general consequences. Separate liability, collections, reporting, remedies, and enforcement law.

These are limits of this component’s inference, not instructions to pay, withhold, allocate, dispute, or disregard a notice. No actual payment or legal calendar is calculated. govinfo.gov+2

2000 reconsideration and temporary stay Corrected July 26 notice identifies the precise former provisions stayed pending amended rules; amended (a), (d), (e) effective August 28, 2000. Do not apply the old stay to current requirements. Qualified historical implementation extensions were not individually reconstructed. C056; S017–S019
2011 editorial deletion October 13, 2011 deletion of obsolete stay note. Deletion concerns the obsolete note, not a repeal of bill duties. C056; S020
CMRS description duty 2005 final rule’s general date August 23 excluded the delayed scope amendment; actual scope amendment date October 26, 2005. Present CMRS exemption does not include (b). C057; S021–S022
State CMRS line-item preemption 2006 published majority, disposition modified October 3, 2006. Only the identified preemption declaratory ruling was vacated under the modified disposition. C058; S023–S024
2012 new section/subtotal and blocking requirements General final rule May 24, 2012. Corrected specific dates: (f)(1) November 13, 2012; (a)(3), (f)(2) December 26, 2012. Current duties have distinct implementation histories; current new-provider paragraph is (a)(4). C059; S025–S027
Reserved mobile-definition references §§ 20.7 and 20.9 removed/reserved March 23, 2018. Stale references in § 64.2400(b)(1) require explanation; they do not themselves demonstrate repeal of the express mobile exception. C015; S011, S013
Unauthorized-charge codification August 16, 2018. Current paragraph (g); existing § 201(b) interpretation acknowledged. C044, C060; S028
Broadband reclassification January 2, 2025 published majority sets aside the 2024 order; FCC restoration final August 8, 2025. Use the read decision/restored text for the mass-market broadband boundary; do not treat the set-aside 2024 changes as current. C017, C062; S030–S031
Proposed truth-in-billing removal/streamlining August 22, 2025 proposed rule, FCC 25-41. Proposed removal of §§ 64.2400/.2401 is not a present repeal. C061; S029
Current retrieved codification eCFR displayed current through October 26, 2026; official annual edition read was October 1, 2025. Currentness supported to those observed publication states; same-day and session-law lag gaps remain. C001, C063; S001

2012 source tension: The specific date correction at 77 FR 71353 states the dates above, while the adjacent text-correction notice retains language about approval of modified information collections and future publication. I relied on the specific date announcement/correction and present codification for the stated dates. I did not convert that boilerplate into a continuing stay, nor did I conduct a complete OMB renewal-history audit. An old approval-expiration entry is not treated here as proof of repeal.

5B. Necessary published-opinion analysis

Published decision Majority / posture / holding / disposition Read extent and later-history limits
NASUCA v. FCC, 457 F.3d 1238, modified by 468 F.3d 1272 Judge Pryor’s published panel opinion reviewed FCC 05-55. The relevant merits analysis treats line-item presentation as distinct from rate regulation and rejects the FCC’s categorical preemption of state rules requiring or prohibiting CMRS line items. The published rehearing order changes the disposition to vacate the preemption declaratory ruling and remand. This does not erase current § 64.2401(b). Original: introduction pp. 2–4 and complete relevant merits pp. 27–44. Rehearing: entire two pages. Official original PDF read; rehearing judicial text read from a reproduction after official-host failure. Later history checked only to this published modification. No actual standing, private-remedy, or filing conclusion.
Ohio Telecom Association v. FCC, 124 F.4th 993 Judge Griffin’s published majority, joined by Judges Kethledge and Bush, reviewed the 2024 broadband reclassification order. It holds the defined broadband internet access service is an information service and mobile broadband is private mobile service; it grants review and sets the order aside. The reasoning does not classify every IP-based service or a separately sold transmission offering. Entire 26-page majority and footnotes read. Core pinpoints pp. 8–20 and 21–26. Later implementation checked through FCC DA 25-613’s published restoration. Its statements about rehearing/mandate events are agency-reported history, not an independently queried court record. Subsequent history beyond that source is held.

The cases were used only where material to operative scope. No docket-status search, case-record query, or litigation strategy analysis was performed. media.ca11.uscourts.gov+3

7. Clearly hypothetical qualitative failure branches

Every row below stipulates generic facts solely to test the legal distinction. There are no real or invented identifying entries, amounts, dates of an actual transaction, or customer deadlines.

Example ID Stipulated qualitative facts Result under the selected statute/rule; what remains unknown Evidence needed and adverse misclassification to avoid
R020-P1-E001 — Covered wireline bill A covered wireline telephone bill contains charges from multiple carriers but presents them without provider separation. Potential failure of (a)(2), assuming no applicable exception. Charge validity and remedies remain separate. C024; S001. Need service/bill classification and actual presentation in a separately authorized review. Avoid declaring the debt void merely from organization failure.
R020-P1-E002 — Classification unknown A document calls its product “communications service,” without establishing its legal classification. Subpart Y applicability remains unknown. C002–C005, C064. Need generic classification authority and offering characteristics. Avoid treating the marketing label as a common-carrier finding.
R020-P1-E003 — CMRS blanket exemption A covered CMRS bill uses unintelligible charge descriptions, and an analyst treats all truth-in-billing rules as inapplicable. The mobile exception does not remove (b). C013, C032, C057. Need charge context and description. Avoid expanding the four listed exemptions into a blanket exemption.
R020-P1-E004 — VoIP uncertainty An offering satisfies the interconnected-VoIP definition, but its common-carrier status is unstipulated. The definition alone does not establish all Subpart Y duties. C016. Need applicable classification/extension authority. Avoid importing 911-only rules or assuming all VoIP is exempt.
R020-P1-E005 — Internet-only service The sole offering is the mass-market broadband internet access service described in Ohio Telecom. The service alone does not satisfy the telecommunications-common-carrier gate under the read holding/restoration. Other broadband protections remain unresolved. C017, C062. Need confirmation that the offering fits that legal category. Avoid assuming every IP transmission service is identical.
R020-P1-E006 — Municipal utility bill A bill contains only water and sewer charges issued by a municipal utility. Municipal status and utility terminology do not make it a telephone bill governed by Y. C019. Separate utility/local law remains held. Avoid asserting either federal telephone coverage or absence of all consumer protection.
R020-P1-E007 — Third-party non-telecommunications charge A nonexempt covered telephone bill includes such charges but has no distinct section or required subtotals. Potential (a)(3) failure. C026–C029. Need charge/service and third-party classification, plus total-display locations. Avoid treating every separately named carrier charge as non-telecommunications.
R020-P1-E008 — Third-party telecommunications charge A second carrier’s telecommunications charge is automatically placed in the analyst’s “non-carrier product” category. The (a)(2) provider-separation question differs from (a)(3)’s trigger. C024, C026. Need charge classification. Avoid collapsing all third-party charges into one legal category.
R020-P1-E009 — Unintelligible description A covered bill uses a vague catch-all description that does not identify the service. Potential (b) failure under the adopted interpretation. C032–C033. Need surrounding explanatory context. Avoid assuming an identified provider makes an unintelligible description adequate.
R020-P1-E010 — New recurring provider A continuing provider did not bill during its own last cycle, and the bill fails to identify the new-provider event. Potential current (a)(4) failure. C030–C031. Need the relevant provider’s cycle and recurring relationship. Avoid using the billing carrier’s cycle automatically.
R020-P1-E011 — Provider-name change only A trade name changes, but the underlying service provider does not. A new-provider event is not established merely by the name change; identity must remain clear. C022–C023, C030. Need legal/functional provider continuity. Avoid inventing a switch or ignoring a genuine provider change hidden by branding.
R020-P1-E012 — Missing dispute contact A covered paper bill gives no toll-free means to inquire about its charges. Potential (d) failure. C036. Need complete bill context and any qualifying displayed contact. Avoid assuming a website alone satisfies the paper-bill rule.
R020-P1-E013 — Electronic-contact exception misused A subscriber receives paper bills, but only an email address is supplied as the purported substitute. The exclusively electronic predicate is absent. C038. Need delivery/access mode. Avoid extending a conditional substitute to all bills.
R020-P1-E014 — Non-basic charge and threatened disconnection A bill includes basic local service and another charge; disconnection is threatened for nonpayment of the latter. “Non-basic” alone does not establish “non-deniable.” If governing law makes it non-deniable, the bill must accurately reflect that. Actual threat legality remains unknown. C046–C051. Need applicable state/service rules and charge classification. Avoid a universal no-shutoff promise.
R020-P1-E015 — Partial payment A partial payment is made with the expectation that basic local charges will be paid first. Subpart Y does not supply that allocation rule or guarantee continuity. C053. Need governing allocation/tender law and actual allocation facts, all held here. Avoid inventing a federal payment priority.
R020-P1-E016 — Unauthorized charge and pending inquiry For the hypothetical, the subscriber did not authorize a charge; an inquiry is also pending. Unauthorized placement is prohibited by (g). The inquiry does not itself establish a universal stay or refund schedule under Y. C044–C045, C052. Actual matters would require authorization evidence and applicable procedures. Avoid equating a substantive prohibition with an unstated procedural remedy.
R020-P1-E017 — Asserted tax versus carrier charge A discretionary carrier charge is described as a government-imposed tax. Potential misleading-description failure under the adopted interpretation. C034. Need the actual taxing/fee authority and incidence. Avoid accepting the label as proof of a tax or using the disclosure defect to calculate restitution.
R020-P1-E018 — Model wording versus compliance A generic template uses language resembling an agency example, and the analyst declares every bill using it compliant. No universal safe harbor is established. Classification, context, placement, completeness, and accuracy remain necessary. C035, C040, C050. Need the operative rule and actual presentation in a separate review. Avoid claiming inspection of an unseen layout.
R020-P1-E019 — State protection unknown A covered bill omits a basic-local disconnection distinction, but no governing state rule has been identified. Federal disclosure analysis is incomplete as to the deniability categories. C047. Need bounded published state/commission authority. Avoid supplying a nationwide category list from intuition.
R020-P1-E020 — Offered blocking undisclosed A nonexempt carrier offers third-party-charge blocking but omits the option from its bills. Potential (f)(2) failure even if the website mentions the option. C041–C043. Need offered option and applicable exception. Avoid turning the notice rule into a universal obligation to offer free blocking.
R020-P1-E021 — Intrastate exception overextended An intrastate-only covered bill is treated as exempt from all description and dispute-contact duties. Only (a)(3) and (f) are removed by that exception. C014. Need entire relevant bill classification. Avoid erasing the remaining rules.
R020-P1-E022 — Electronic subtotal hidden Required subtotals appear in the full electronic statement, but a pre-access notice displays only the grand total. Potential failure of (a)(3)’s equivalent-location condition. C029. Need every relevant total display. Avoid examining only the downloadable statement.

8. Granular coverage table

“Answered” means the generic selected-law question is answered. It does not mean an actual bill or parent dimension has been accepted. “Partial” identifies a specific source or application gap.

Broadband full FCC release https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DA-25-613A1.pdf failed. The bulk volume https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GPO-FCC-Rcd-V40No06/pdf/GPO-FCC-Rcd-V40No06.pdf was not retrieved successfully. Recovered the official final FR text, S031, and read the actual published majority, S030.
Misdirected published-opinion retrieval A guessed published-opinion filename returned an unrelated opinion. Discarded; no claim relies on it. Correct Ohio Telecom GPO opinion subsequently recovered and read in full.
Historical 2000 notice correction The uncorrected notice’s implementation account was not used alone. Read the July 26 correction and August 28 effective-date notice; use November 12, 1999 as the original baseline.
Historical 2012 notice Initial announcement was recovered only in the identified partial file segment. Read the complete later date/text corrections; residual approval-boilerplate tension explicitly preserved.
2025 proposed-rule text Read relevant proposal body and actual proposed amendatory instructions. No current duty, repeal, or customer deadline derived from a proposal.
PDF visual scope Parsed legal text read; no screenshots or image inspection. No assertion about unseen page design, graphical prominence, sample-bill layout, or full-form usability.
Consumer summaries and CFPB guidance No consumer overview, CFPB circular, bulletin, or advisory supplied the operative foundation. CFPB withdrawn-guidance verification was not triggered by a used source.
UI/model provenance No independent inspection of a model selector or UI provenance. No assertion that an unseen interface displayed a particular model/version.
Actual records and actions No actual or invented identifier was entered into a provider, license, account, customer, or court-record search; no external action taken. Research remains confined to generic published law and the necessary published judicial texts.

The following remain expressly unaddressed or unresolved beyond the narrow scope boundaries stated in this report:

  • Actual facts: actor, service, provider, bill, contract, consent, charge, description, notice, dispute, payment, allocation, or disconnection.
  • Jurisdiction-specific law: individual tariffs; state public-utility-commission law; local and tribal law; and actual service classifications under those regimes.
  • Other utility and product dimensions: electric, gas, water, sewer, trash, standalone broadband, cable, equipment, service termination, deposits, and shutoff protections.
  • Support and payment arrangements: payment plans, assistance programs, eligibility, and enrollment.
  • Downstream financial and legal consequences: collections, credit reporting, settlement, limitations, remedies, litigation, standing, court filing, tax, insolvency, and international or country-specific law.

R020-P1-C001The retrieved current Subpart Y consists of §§ 64.2400 and 64.2401, including paragraphs (a)–(g); it remains printed in the current eCFR.S001, complete subpart; S029, proposed instructions 9–10.Version observation through the displayed October 26, 2026 update.Current-text finding, subject to the stated publication-lag gap; not proof that no later document could exist.
R020-P1-C002The general gate is telecommunications common carriers and bills containing intrastate or interstate service charges; § 64.2401 addresses telephone bills.S001, § 64.2400(b), § 64.2401.Actor, service, and bill must be classified before applying particular duties.Current rule. A marketing label such as “communications,” “phone,” or “utility” does not establish the gate.
R020-P1-C003Telecommunications concerns user-chosen information transmitted between user-specified points without change in form/content; telecommunications service concerns offering telecommunications for a fee to the public or effectively public classes.S002, § 153(50), (53), complete definitions.Service offered, not simply the physical medium, matters.Statute. The definition does not classify an actual offering here.
R020-P1-C004A telecommunications carrier is treated as a common carrier only to the extent it provides telecommunications services; the statutory aggregator exclusion uses § 226’s specific definition.S002, § 153(51); S003, § 226(a)(2).The operator-service aggregator definition is not synonymous with every billing aggregator or clearinghouse.Statute. Corporate identity alone does not make every product a common-carrier service.
R020-P1-C005Information service covers specified information-processing or access capabilities through telecommunications, with the statutory telecommunications-management exclusion.S002, § 153(24).Full definition and its exclusion matter.Statute. “Uses telecommunications” does not itself mean “telecommunications service.”
R020-P1-C006Customer-premises equipment is separately defined as premises equipment used to originate, route, or terminate telecommunications.S002, § 153(16).Equipment may appear as a charge on a covered bill.Statute plus boundary inference. Equipment status alone does not establish Subpart Y coverage or liability.
R020-P1-C007Exchange-service and toll-service definitions are distinct; Subpart Y does not itself supply a complete nationwide definition of “basic local service” or a universal list of disconnectable charges.S002, § 153(54), (55); S001, § 64.2401(c); S014, synopsis ¶ 23.Basic-local and charge classifications remain necessary.Statute/rule plus bounded negative finding. Do not automatically substitute “all telephone service” for “basic local service.”
R020-P1-C008The original FCC truth-in-billing interpretation relied centrally on § 201(b) and § 258; the 2018 unauthorized-charge codification also rests on § 201(b).S004; S005; S014, synopsis ¶ 10 and ordering clauses; S028, synopsis ¶¶ 8–9.Just-and-reasonable common-carrier practices and authorized carrier selection supply distinct statutory foundations.Statutory authority and adopted interpretation. They do not turn every disputed utility charge into a federal telephone-billing claim.
R020-P1-C009The FCC adopted the billing rules for intrastate as well as interstate charges, explaining its specific authority notwithstanding the general intrastate reservation.S006, § 152(a)–(b); S014, synopsis ¶ 10; S001, § 64.2400(b).Subject to the express intrastate-only exceptions in C014.Current rule and adopted interpretation. Neither “all intrastate bills excluded” nor “all intrastate utilities included” follows.
R020-P1-C010Sections 151, 154(i)–(j), 303(r), and 403 provide supporting institutional, rulemaking, procedural, or inquiry powers.S007; S025, ordering ¶¶ 26–27.Powers remain bounded by their text and the Communications Act.Delegation. No payment moratorium, debt cancellation, or personal award is inferred from an authority citation.
R020-P1-C011CMRS status depends on the statutory/regulatory commercial-mobile criteria; private mobile service is not made a common carrier merely by being mobile.S008, § 332(c)(1)–(2), (d); S011, § 20.3 definitions.Relevant factors include profit, interconnection, public availability or functional equivalence. Part 15 unlicensed devices are excluded from the CMRS definition.Statute/regulation. No actual classification or license query was performed.
R020-P1-C012Mobile exemption and general forbearance powers require statutory predicates; they are not automatic exemptions.S008, § 332(c)(1)(A)–(C); S009, § 160(a)–(e).Section 332’s exemption power excludes §§ 201, 202, 208; § 160 separately operates notwithstanding § 332(c)(1)(A), subject to its determinations.Delegated power. No carrier-specific exemption or forbearance order is assumed.
R020-P1-C013Section 64.2400(b)(1) expressly exempts CMRS and the specified other mobile providers from (a)(2), (a)(3), (c), and (f).S001, § 64.2400(b)(1).It does not list (a)(1), (a)(4), (b), (d), (e), or (g). The general carrier gate remains relevant.Current exemption. It is not an exemption from all truth-in-billing duties.
R020-P1-C014Bills containing only intrastate services are exempt from (a)(3) and (f).S001, § 64.2400(b)(2); S025, final scope amendment.Applies to the bill’s qualifying service content, not merely a customer’s location.Current exemption. Does not remove description, contact, unauthorized-charge, or otherwise applicable paragraph (c) duties.
R020-P1-C015The mobile exemption still cites §§ 20.7 and 20.9, although those sections are now reserved. Their 2018 removal did not expressly delete Subpart Y’s mobile exemption.S001, § 64.2400(b)(1); S011; S013, final instructions and synopsis.Current mobile definitions and the statute remain relevant.Text finding plus inference: a stale cross-reference is not a sound basis to erase an express exemption. No judicial holding on this precise cross-reference was located or claimed.
R020-P1-C016The incorporated interconnected-VoIP definition requires real-time two-way voice, broadband from the user’s location, IP-compatible equipment, and generally inbound/outbound PSTN calling; its broader outbound-only limb is expressly for 911 compliance.S002, § 153(25); S012, complete definition.Subpart Y does not expressly declare every interconnected-VoIP provider a covered telecommunications common carrier.Definition established; coverage unknown without the offering’s classification and applicable authority. No blanket inclusion or exemption of all VoIP.
R020-P1-C017The published Ohio Telecom majority classified the mass-market broadband internet access service before it as an information service and mobile broadband as private mobile service.S030, pp. 8–26; S031, Parts 8/20 restoration.Concerns the defined broadband internet access offering, not every separately sold transmission service or every IP voice product.Published holding and restored regulatory text. Standalone mass-market broadband does not establish the Subpart Y carrier gate by that service alone.
R020-P1-C018Providing cable service does not, merely for that reason, subject a cable system to common-carrier or utility regulation.S010, §§ 522(6), 541(c).A separate telecommunications offering or a covered combined telephone bill requires separate analysis.Statute. Not a determination of cable-bill, equipment, termination, or franchise rights.
R020-P1-C019Electricity, gas, water, sewer, trash, equipment, and municipal ownership do not themselves establish telephone-billing coverage; Subpart Y contains no general municipal-ownership or small-carrier exemption.S001, complete scope; S002, service definitions.Classify the actual service and actor rather than the utility label or ownership form.Boundary inference. Outside this selected rule does not mean outside all regulation.
R020-P1-C020Subpart Y preserves consistent state truth-in-billing requirements; the specific FCC blanket CMRS line-item preemption ruling was vacated.S001, § 64.2400(c); S008, § 332(c)(3); S023–S024.Other federal preemption or forbearance questions remain possible and are not resolved wholesale.Current rule; limited judicial holding. No conclusion that every state requirement is valid or invalid.

R020-P1-C021Covered telephone bills must be clearly organized.S001, § 64.2401(a).General requirement remains even when an individual subparagraph is exempted.Current duty owed by covered carrier. No universal template is prescribed.
R020-P1-C022Each charge must be associated clearly and conspicuously with its service provider’s name. Identifying only a billing intermediary does not necessarily identify that provider.S001, (a)(1); S014, synopsis ¶¶ 11–15.Applies to the covered telephone bill; mobile exemption does not remove (a)(1).Current duty/adopted interpretation. Identity disclosure is not proof of authority to charge.
R020-P1-C023A commonly known trade name can identify the provider; the FCC did not invariably require the precise corporate-subsidiary name.S017, synopsis ¶ 10.Name must still perform the identification function.Adopted interpretation. Does not excuse misleading identity or concealment of a real provider change.
R020-P1-C024When charges from two or more carriers share a bill, charges must be separated by provider.S001, (a)(2); S014, synopsis ¶¶ 11–15.Mobile exception C013 applies.Current duty. No universal separate-page requirement or prescribed heading follows from this paragraph.
R020-P1-C025The FCC allowed a single listing for a bundle marketed by one company notwithstanding multiple underlying provisioning carriers.S017, synopsis ¶ 9; S025, synopsis on existing bundles.Limited bundle interpretation; adequate identification, description, and inquiry access remain necessary.Adopted interpretation. Does not eliminate the later distinct-section rule when its third-party-charge trigger is met.
R020-P1-C026A carrier placing third-party non-telecommunications charges on its telephone bill must put them in a distinct section, separate from all carrier charges.S001, (a)(3); S025, final amendment and ¶¶ 22–24.Mobile and intrastate-only exceptions C013–C014 apply.Current duty. Charge/service classification matters; “third party” alone does not make every charge this category.
R020-P1-C027Charges in each distinct section required by (a)(3) must be separately subtotaled.S001, (a)(3); S025, final amendment.Applies when (a)(3) is triggered and not exempted.Current duty. A single undifferentiated grand total is insufficient for that requirement.
R020-P1-C028On paper bills, carrier/non-carrier subtotals must also appear conspicuously with the bill total on the payment page.S001, (a)(3); S025, final amendment.The rule specifies this placement even though it does not prescribe the entire bill format.Current duty. A subtotal elsewhere does not by itself answer the payment-page condition.
R020-P1-C029For electronic bills, the required subtotals accompany the total at every defined equivalent location, including a total displayed before the full bill is opened.S001, (a)(3), second paragraph; S025.Includes applicable email, website-link/notice, and payment-portal total displays.Current duty. A compliant downloadable statement alone does not establish compliance of a separate total display.
R020-P1-C030The bill must conspicuously identify a service-provider change, including charges from a new provider.S001, current (a)(4); S017, amended former (a)(3); S025, redesignation.Mobile exception does not remove current (a)(4).Current on-bill duty. No general advance-notice period is specified here.
R020-P1-C031“New provider” uses that provider’s own last billing cycle and a continuing relationship expected to generate periodic charges unless canceled.S001, (a)(4); S017, synopsis ¶¶ 3–6.One-off transactions do not automatically meet that definition; other bill duties remain.Current definition/adopted interpretation. Not a fixed-day lookback, cancellation right, or termination-fee waiver.
R020-P1-C032A charge description must be brief, understandable, nonmisleading, and sufficiently specific to let the customer compare the service and price with what was requested, received, and understood.S001, (b); S014, synopsis ¶¶ 16–20.Applies to covered bills, including CMRS after the scope amendment.Current duty. A vague catch-all may fail even if a provider name is present.
R020-P1-C033A clear section-level description can avoid redundant repetition; familiar service terms need not always be separately defined.S014, synopsis ¶¶ 18–20.Context must still make the charged service intelligible.Adopted interpretation. Permission to aggregate is not permission to obscure charge identity or defeat (a)(3).
R020-P1-C034A carrier-imposed charge presented falsely as a tax or government-required charge can be misleading. The 2005 interpretation also places a substantiation burden on a carrier claiming conformity with a specific government/regulatory-program fee.S021, substantive synopsis, printed 29980–29981, PDF 1–2; S014, ¶¶ 25–36.Actual legal incidence and amount authority must be established separately.Adopted interpretation. No actual tax, fee ceiling, pass-through entitlement, or restitution amount is determined.
R020-P1-C035The 1999 discussion of standardized regulatory-charge labels did not supply a presently operative universal list of mandatory labels or safe-harbor wording.S014, synopsis ¶¶ 25–36, especially 30 and 32; S001, complete current text.The FCC deferred selection of particular uniform labels and rejected particular safe-harbor language there.Historical interpretation/current-text finding. Truthful description remains required; historical fee-recovery discussion is not a complete current fee-amount rule.

R020-P1-C036Each covered bill must conspicuously supply information needed to inquire about or contest charges, including prominently displayed toll-free number(s) covering the bill’s charges.S001, (d), first two sentences; S017, complete amended (d).Subject to the exclusively electronic alternative in C038.Current carrier duty to subscriber. Not a prescribed investigation outcome or universal response deadline.
R020-P1-C037A billing agent, clearinghouse, or other third party may provide the contact number only if it has sufficient information and full authority to resolve complaints on the carrier’s behalf.S001, (d); S014, synopsis ¶ 37; S017.A qualifying contact may cover multiple charges; mere call routing is insufficient.Current conditional alternative. Listing an agent does not transfer away the carrier’s duty.
R020-P1-C038Email or a website address on the bill may substitute when the subscriber receives no paper copy and accesses the bill only electronically.S001, (d); S017, synopsis ¶ 11.Exclusively electronic billing is the condition; ordinary paper-plus-web access is different.Current conditional alternative. Adopted interpretation expects usable inquiry resolution, not merely an irrelevant homepage.
R020-P1-C039Each carrier must make a business address available when a consumer requests it.S001, final sentence of (d).Request triggers the address obligation.Current duty. This sentence does not require the business address to be printed on every bill.
R020-P1-C040“Clear and conspicuous” means apparent to a reasonable consumer.S001, (e); S017, complete amended (e).Applies to the section’s notices.Current definition. No universal font size, heading, color, or page count is specified.
R020-P1-C041A carrier that offers third-party-charge blocking must conspicuously notify subscribers at the point of sale and on its website.S001, (f)(1); S025; S027.Offered blocking option; mobile/intrastate-only exceptions apply.Current conditional duty. The actual scope of the offered block must not be assumed.
R020-P1-C042A carrier offering that blocking option must also disclose it on each telephone bill.S001, (f)(2); S027.Same offering and scope predicates.Current conditional duty. Website disclosure alone does not satisfy the separate bill condition.
R020-P1-C043Subpart Y does not itself require every carrier to offer blocking, free blocking, default blocking, or a universal written opt-in procedure.S025, synopsis/alternatives ¶¶ 21–24; S001, complete (f), (g).Authorization under (g) remains independently required.Bounded negative finding. No inference that billing without subscriber authorization is permitted.
R020-P1-C044A carrier must not place or cause an unauthorized charge to be placed on any telephone bill; the rule is not confined to third-party charges and is not among the mobile exemptions.S001, (g), § 64.2400(b)(1); S028, synopsis ¶¶ 8–9 and final text.Subscriber authorization is the operative condition.Current substantive prohibition, covering the carrier’s own and third-party billing within scope.
R020-P1-C045A neutral provider name or intelligible description does not prove consent, a contract, a lawful amount, tax status, restitution, or resolution of a dispute.S001, separate (a), (b), (d), (g); S004; S005.Each proposition needs its own legal and evidentiary foundation.Inference from separate duties. Paragraph (g) does not itself prescribe a universal consent-evidence form, adjudicative burden, or refund timetable.

R020-P1-C046Paragraph (c) addresses a bill containing basic local service plus other charges and requires differentiation between charges whose nonpayment will and will not result in disconnection of basic local service.S001, complete (c).Mobile exception applies; a bill with no basic local service does not satisfy this trigger.Current disclosure rule. It does not command disconnection or independently decide when disconnection is lawful.
R020-P1-C047The adopted interpretation says whether a charge is deniable varies with state law and addresses bills containing both categories; it does not preempt states that had not adopted that distinction.S014, synopsis ¶¶ 21–23.State/service categorization must be established.Adopted interpretation. “Non-basic” is not automatically “non-deniable.”
R020-P1-C048The carrier must explain the distinction and identify the non-deniable charges conspicuously on the bill; the rule also permits other on-bill methods explaining that charges may be contested before payment.S001, (c), second and third sentences; S014, ¶ 22.The words “deniable” and “non-deniable” themselves need not be used.Current duty and permitted presentation method. The contest-before-payment language is not a universal stay.
R020-P1-C049A later pre-termination or dunning message does not replace the required on-bill distinction.S014, synopsis ¶ 24.Applicable mixed bill and disclosure obligation.Adopted interpretation. Separate termination-notice law remains unreviewed.
R020-P1-C050The FCC permitted an accurate aggregate basic-local amount and total, with an adequate explanation, instead of separately labeling every individual charge.S017, synopsis ¶¶ 7–8.The presentation must convey the distinction; inquiry staff must clarify it when needed.Adopted interpretation. No particular sample layout was inspected or approved here.
R020-P1-C051A charge can be non-deniable for basic local service while nonpayment still permits termination of the separate service associated with that charge.S014, synopsis ¶ 21.Depends on the separate service’s governing law and contract.Adopted distinction. No promise that every service remains connected.
R020-P1-C052Nothing in the complete selected subpart establishes an automatic disconnection or collection hold merely because an inquiry or dispute is pending.S001, entire subpart; S014, ¶¶ 21–24, 37–39; S017, ¶¶ 7–11.Other applicable law may supply protections, but must be separately identified.Bounded negative finding. A purpose statement, contact requirement, or contest notice cannot supply an unstated universal moratorium.
R020-P1-C053Subpart Y supplies no payment-allocation sequence or general rule that a partial payment must first satisfy basic local charges or preserve service.S001, entire subpart; S014/S017, disconnection interpretations.Allocation, tender, and remaining balance facts and governing law are necessary.Bounded negative finding. No payment recommendation or actual allocation determination.
R020-P1-C054This subpart does not establish a universal grace period, debt cancellation, credit-reporting ban, restitution formula, or personal legal deadline.S001, entire subpart.Separate statutes, rules, contracts, and remedies may matter.Bounded negative finding, not a denial that such protections may exist elsewhere.

Question · Result under this selected subpart · Exact unresolved matter · 7 data rows

QuestionResult under this selected subpartExact unresolved matter
Must a covered mixed bill explain which charges do not threaten basic local service?Yes, where (c)’s applicable categories and bill predicates exist; the non-deniable category must be identified on the bill.Which charges belong in each category under governing service/state law.
Does “not basic local service” automatically mean “cannot affect basic local service”?No. The FCC expressly tied deniability to state law.Applicable state commission law, tariff framework, service classification, and any other controlling law.
Does a pending inquiry automatically stop disconnection?No such general stay appears in Subpart Y.Any separate statutory, commission, tariff, contractual, or charge-specific protection and its conditions.
Does asserting that a charge was unauthorized automatically resolve the dispute?No. Paragraph (g) prohibits unauthorized billing, but the assertion and the factual/legal determination are different.Authorization evidence, applicable procedures, fact resolution, and any resulting remedy.
Does payment of a selected portion necessarily preserve basic service?Subpart Y establishes no allocation or partial-payment rule.How payment is legally allocated; what remains unpaid; whether tender or designation is effective; applicable disconnection law.
Does an accurate non-deniable disclosure preserve the separate product or service?Not necessarily. The 1999 interpretation expressly distinguished loss of basic local service from termination of the other service.Separate service’s lawful termination conditions.
Does a billing violation erase the underlying debt or prohibit reporting?Subpart Y does not supply those general consequences.Separate liability, collections, reporting, remedies, and enforcement law.

NASUCA v. FCC, 457 F.3d 1238, modified by 468 F.3d 1272Judge Pryor’s published panel opinion reviewed FCC 05-55. The relevant merits analysis treats line-item presentation as distinct from rate regulation and rejects the FCC’s categorical preemption of state rules requiring or prohibiting CMRS line items. The published rehearing order changes the disposition to vacate the preemption declaratory ruling and remand. This does not erase current § 64.2401(b).Original: introduction pp. 2–4 and complete relevant merits pp. 27–44. Rehearing: entire two pages.

Example IDStipulated qualitative factsResult under the selected statute/rule; what remains unknownEvidence needed and adverse misclassification to avoid
R020-P1-E001 — Covered wireline billA covered wireline telephone bill contains charges from multiple carriers but presents them without provider separation.Potential failure of (a)(2), assuming no applicable exception. Charge validity and remedies remain separate. C024; S001.Need service/bill classification and actual presentation in a separately authorized review. Avoid declaring the debt void merely from organization failure.
R020-P1-E002 — Classification unknownA document calls its product “communications service,” without establishing its legal classification.Subpart Y applicability remains unknown. C002–C005, C064.Need generic classification authority and offering characteristics. Avoid treating the marketing label as a common-carrier finding.
R020-P1-E003 — CMRS blanket exemptionA covered CMRS bill uses unintelligible charge descriptions, and an analyst treats all truth-in-billing rules as inapplicable.The mobile exception does not remove (b). C013, C032, C057.Need charge context and description. Avoid expanding the four listed exemptions into a blanket exemption.
R020-P1-E004 — VoIP uncertaintyAn offering satisfies the interconnected-VoIP definition, but its common-carrier status is unstipulated.The definition alone does not establish all Subpart Y duties. C016.Need applicable classification/extension authority. Avoid importing 911-only rules or assuming all VoIP is exempt.
R020-P1-E005 — Internet-only serviceThe sole offering is the mass-market broadband internet access service described in Ohio Telecom.The service alone does not satisfy the telecommunications-common-carrier gate under the read holding/restoration. Other broadband protections remain unresolved. C017, C062.Need confirmation that the offering fits that legal category. Avoid assuming every IP transmission service is identical.
R020-P1-E006 — Municipal utility billA bill contains only water and sewer charges issued by a municipal utility.Municipal status and utility terminology do not make it a telephone bill governed by Y. C019.Separate utility/local law remains held. Avoid asserting either federal telephone coverage or absence of all consumer protection.
R020-P1-E007 — Third-party non-telecommunications chargeA nonexempt covered telephone bill includes such charges but has no distinct section or required subtotals.Potential (a)(3) failure. C026–C029.Need charge/service and third-party classification, plus total-display locations. Avoid treating every separately named carrier charge as non-telecommunications.
R020-P1-E008 — Third-party telecommunications chargeA second carrier’s telecommunications charge is automatically placed in the analyst’s “non-carrier product” category.The (a)(2) provider-separation question differs from (a)(3)’s trigger. C024, C026.Need charge classification. Avoid collapsing all third-party charges into one legal category.
R020-P1-E009 — Unintelligible descriptionA covered bill uses a vague catch-all description that does not identify the service.Potential (b) failure under the adopted interpretation. C032–C033.Need surrounding explanatory context. Avoid assuming an identified provider makes an unintelligible description adequate.
R020-P1-E010 — New recurring providerA continuing provider did not bill during its own last cycle, and the bill fails to identify the new-provider event.Potential current (a)(4) failure. C030–C031.Need the relevant provider’s cycle and recurring relationship. Avoid using the billing carrier’s cycle automatically.
R020-P1-E011 — Provider-name change onlyA trade name changes, but the underlying service provider does not.A new-provider event is not established merely by the name change; identity must remain clear. C022–C023, C030.Need legal/functional provider continuity. Avoid inventing a switch or ignoring a genuine provider change hidden by branding.
R020-P1-E012 — Missing dispute contactA covered paper bill gives no toll-free means to inquire about its charges.Potential (d) failure. C036.Need complete bill context and any qualifying displayed contact. Avoid assuming a website alone satisfies the paper-bill rule.
R020-P1-E013 — Electronic-contact exception misusedA subscriber receives paper bills, but only an email address is supplied as the purported substitute.The exclusively electronic predicate is absent. C038.Need delivery/access mode. Avoid extending a conditional substitute to all bills.
R020-P1-E014 — Non-basic charge and threatened disconnectionA bill includes basic local service and another charge; disconnection is threatened for nonpayment of the latter.“Non-basic” alone does not establish “non-deniable.” If governing law makes it non-deniable, the bill must accurately reflect that. Actual threat legality remains unknown. C046–C051.Need applicable state/service rules and charge classification. Avoid a universal no-shutoff promise.
R020-P1-E015 — Partial paymentA partial payment is made with the expectation that basic local charges will be paid first.Subpart Y does not supply that allocation rule or guarantee continuity. C053.Need governing allocation/tender law and actual allocation facts, all held here. Avoid inventing a federal payment priority.
R020-P1-E016 — Unauthorized charge and pending inquiryFor the hypothetical, the subscriber did not authorize a charge; an inquiry is also pending.Unauthorized placement is prohibited by (g). The inquiry does not itself establish a universal stay or refund schedule under Y. C044–C045, C052.Actual matters would require authorization evidence and applicable procedures. Avoid equating a substantive prohibition with an unstated procedural remedy.
R020-P1-E017 — Asserted tax versus carrier chargeA discretionary carrier charge is described as a government-imposed tax.Potential misleading-description failure under the adopted interpretation. C034.Need the actual taxing/fee authority and incidence. Avoid accepting the label as proof of a tax or using the disclosure defect to calculate restitution.
R020-P1-E018 — Model wording versus complianceA generic template uses language resembling an agency example, and the analyst declares every bill using it compliant.No universal safe harbor is established. Classification, context, placement, completeness, and accuracy remain necessary. C035, C040, C050.Need the operative rule and actual presentation in a separate review. Avoid claiming inspection of an unseen layout.
R020-P1-E019 — State protection unknownA covered bill omits a basic-local disconnection distinction, but no governing state rule has been identified.Federal disclosure analysis is incomplete as to the deniability categories. C047.Need bounded published state/commission authority. Avoid supplying a nationwide category list from intuition.
R020-P1-E020 — Offered blocking undisclosedA nonexempt carrier offers third-party-charge blocking but omits the option from its bills.Potential (f)(2) failure even if the website mentions the option. C041–C043.Need offered option and applicable exception. Avoid turning the notice rule into a universal obligation to offer free blocking.
R020-P1-E021 — Intrastate exception overextendedAn intrastate-only covered bill is treated as exempt from all description and dispute-contact duties.Only (a)(3) and (f) are removed by that exception. C014.Need entire relevant bill classification. Avoid erasing the remaining rules.
R020-P1-E022 — Electronic subtotal hiddenRequired subtotals appear in the full electronic statement, but a pre-access notice displays only the grand total.Potential failure of (a)(3)’s equivalent-location condition. C029.Need every relevant total display. Avoid examining only the downloadable statement.
