FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 64

[CC Docket No. 96-115; FCC 99-223]


Telecommunications Carriers' Use of Customer Proprietary Network 
Information and Other Customer Information

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule; announcement of effective date.

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

SUMMARY: The Commission's amendments to its customer proprietary 
network information (CPNI) rules, which contained information 
collection requirements, became effective on March 2, 2000.

EFFECTIVE DATES: The amendments to Secs. 64.2005, 64.2007 and 64.2009 
became effective on March 2, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jodie Donovan, Attorney Adviser, 
Common Carrier Bureau, Policy and Program Planning Division, (202) 418-
1580.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 16, 1999, the Commission adopted 
amended rules, pursuant to section 222 of the Communications Act, to 
protect CPNI and ensure that customers are able to control their 
personal information from unauthorized use, disclosure and access by 
common carriers. A summary of these amendments was published in the 
Federal Register (64 FR 53242, October 1, 1999). Because the rules 
imposed new information collection requirements that had not been 
approved by OMB, we stated that ``the Commission will publish a 
document in the Federal Register announcing the effective dates of 
these rules.'' The information collection requirements were approved by 
OMB on March 2, 2000. See OMB Nos. 3060-0715. Due to an oversight, the 
Commission failed to publish notice of OMB approval earlier, but we 
have treated the amendments as effective since March 2, 2000, as 
anticipated by our order. See Implementation of the Telecommunications 
Act of 1996, Telecommunications Carriers Use of Customer Proprietary 
Network Information and Other Customer Information and Implementation 
of the Non-Accounting Safeguards of section 271 and 272 of the 
Communications Act of 1934, as Amended, CC Docket Nos. 96-115 and 96-
149, 14 FCC Rcd 14409, 14509, para. 207 (1999). This publication 
therefore satisfies the statement that the Commission would publish a 
document announcing the effective date of the rules.
