Implementation of the Telecommunications Act of 1996: Telecommunications Carriers' Use of Customer Proprietary Network Information and Other Customer Information; Use of Data Regarding Alarm Monitoring Service Providers

Zusammenfassung

On May 17, 1996, the Commission released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) regarding certain customer information provisions in the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (1996 Act). In addition to addressing the customer proprietary network information (CPNI) and subscriber list information provisions set out in the 1996 Act, the NPRM also sought comment regarding how to implement the restrictions on use of alarm monitoring data established by new Section 275(d) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. Section 275(d) directed the Commission to issue any regulations necessary to enforce its provisions within six months after enactment of the 1996 Act. Based on the record, we conclude that no regulations are necessary at this time to implement or enforce Section 275(d). The intended effect of this Report and Order is to document and explain that conclusion.
