Terms of Clearance: OMB requests that the FBI provide the FCC with justification for the requirement that all carriers maintain copies of the CPNI of all US-based customers, regardless of whether they are U.S. domestic customers. Additionally, the FBI should provide specific information regarding the CPNI content that they would deem to be acceptable for FBI purposes. The FCC shall use this information to identify cost and hour burden for companies to create and store this information and provide an indication as to the number of affected entities that do not retain all of this information as part of their current business practices. Finally the FCC should explicitly state that release of CPNI to law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, is pursuant to lawful authority (i.e. court order, warrant, or subpoena).

Abstract: The attached Second Report and Order implements the statutory obligations of section 222 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Among other things, carriers are permitted to use CPNI, without customer approval, to market offerings that are related to, but limited by, the cusotmer's existing service relationship with their carrier. Carriers must obtain express customer approval to use CPNI to market service outside the customer's existing service relationship. Carriers must provide a one-time notification of customers' CPNI rights prior to any solicitation for approval.
