115, the Commission reconsidered the previous CPNI Order, addressed 
petitions for forbearance from the requirements, and established rules 
to implement section 222 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996.
    Among other things, carriers are permitted to use CPNI, without 
customer approval, under certain conditions. Carriers must obtain 
express customer approval to use CPNI to market service outside the 
customer's existing service relationship. Carrier must provide a one-
time notification of customer's CPNI rights prior to any solicitation 
for approval.
    All of the collections, adopted and proposed, would be used to 
ensure that telecommunications carriers comply with the CPNI 
requirements the Commission promulgates in this Order to implement 
section 222 of the statute.

Federal Communications Commission.
Magalie Roman Salas,
Secretary.
