FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 64

[CC Dockets No. 90-623 and 92-256; DA 94-331]

 

Customer Proprietary Network Information Requirements

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Extension of time for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This order provides an extension of time so that parties have 
ample time to file comments and reply comments in response to the 
Commission's Public Notice, FCC 94-63, released March 10, 1994. The 
Public Notice seeks comment on the Commission's rules that govern the 
Bell Operating Companies (BOCs) and GTE Corporation's (GTE) use of 
customer proprietary network information (CPNI) in marketing enhanced 
services and customer premises equipment (CPE). In the public notice 
the Commission seeks comment on whether any changes in the rules are 
required to balance customers privacy interests, competitive equity and 
efficiency, whether the CPNI rules should apply to local exchange 
carriers other than GTE and the BOCs, and whether any changes in the 
CPNI requirements recommended by parties should also apply to the 
provision of CPE.

COMMENT DATES: The dates for filing comments and reply comments are May 
5, 1994 and May 19, 1994, respectively.

ADDRESSES: Federal Communications Commission, 1919 M Street, NW., 
Washington, DC 20554.

Bureau:
    1. On March 10, 1994, the Commission released a public notice 
seeking additional comment on rules governing telephone companies' use 
of customer proprietary network information (CPNI).\1\ The notice 
sought comment on the CPNI privacy expectations of residential and 
small business customers. The notice also sought comment on whether the 
Commission's rules, which currently apply only to the Bell Operating 
Companies (BOCs) and GTE Corporation (GTE), should apply to other local 
exchange carriers. Finally, the Commission asked that parties 
recommending a change in the CPNI rules discuss whether their proposed 
rules should apply to the provision of customer premises equipment 
(CPE).
