This information collection implements
the statutory obligations of section 222 of the Communications Act
of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 222. These regulations impose
safeguards to protect customers' CPNI against unauthorized access
and disclosure. In March 2007, the Commission adopted new rules,
which focused on the efforts of communications service providers to
prevent pretexting. These rules require providers of communications
services to adopt additional privacy safeguards that, the
Commission believes, will sharply limit pretexters' ability to
obtain unauthorized access to the type of personal customer
information from carriers that the Commission regulates. In
addition, the Commission's rules help ensure that law enforcement
will have necessary tools to investigate and enforce prohibitions
on illegal access to customer records.
