Needs and Uses: In the 2005 Report 

and Order and Further Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking, In the Matter of 

Rules and Regulations Implementing 

Minimum Customer Account Record 

Exchange Obligations on All Local and 

Interexchange Carriers (2005 Report and 

Order), CG Docket No. 02–386, FCC 05– 

29, which was released on February 25, 

2005, the Commission adopted rules 

governing the exchange of customer 

account information between local 

exchange carriers (LECs) and 

interexchange carriers (IXCs). The 

Commission concluded that mandatory, 

minimum standards are needed in light 

of record evidence demonstrating that 

information needed by carriers to 

execute customer requests and properly 

bill customers is not being consistently 

provided by all LECs and IXCs. 

Specifically, the 2005 Report and Order 

requires LECs to supply customer 

account information to IXCs when: (1) 

the LEC places an end user on, or 

removes an end user from, an IXC’s 

network; (2) an end user presubscribed 

to an IXC makes certain changes to her 

account information via her LEC; (3) an 

IXC requests billing name and address 

information for an end user who has 

usage on an IXC’s network but for whom 

the IXC does not have an existing 

account; and (4) a LEC rejects an IXC– 

initiated PIC order. The 2005 Report and 

Order requires IXCs to notify LECs 

when an IXC customer informs an IXC 

directly of the customer’s desire to 

change IXCs. In the accompanying 

Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 

the Commission sought comment on 

whether to require the exchange of 

customer account information between 

LECs. In December 2007, The 

Commission declined to adopt 

mandatory LEC–to–LEC data exchange 

requirements.
