Abstract: 47 U.S.C. section 258 makes it unlawful for any telecommunication carrier to submit or execute a change in a subscriber's exchange service or toll service carrier selection except in accordance with the Commission's verification procedures and provides that any carrier that violates these procedures and collects charges for telecommunications service from a subscriber after such violation shall be liable to the subscriber's properly authorized carrier for all charges collected. In this rulemaking, we adopt changes in 47 CFR sections 64.1100, 64.1150, 64.1160, 64.1170, 64.1180 and propose new requirements.
