Requires each such carrier or provider to notify customers of an incident in which CPNI relating to that customer was disclosed to someone other than the customer in violation of this Act (allowing a delay in such notification for law enforcement or homeland security purposes).

Requires enforcement of the requirements of this Act by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the FCC, and the states.
