Abstract: The FCC released a Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, CC Doc. No. 96-115, WC Doc. No. 04-36, FCC 07-22, on April 2, 2007, strengthening rules that protect customer proprietary network information (CPNI), which is conllected and held by providers of communications services. Pursuant to 47 CFR Section 222, the FCC adopted rules focused on efforts of communications service providers to prevent "pretexting." The rules require providers to adopt additional privacy safeguards to limit pretexters' ability to obtain unauthorized access to personal customer information from carriers. The rules also further the Telephone Records and Privacy Protection Act of 2006, that helps to ensure that law enforcement will have the tools necessary to investigate and enforce prohibitions on illegal access to customer records.
