FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Parts 22 and 64

[CC Docket No. 96-115; DA 98-864]


Telecommunications Carriers' Use of Customer Proprietary Network 
Information and Other Customer Information

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule; extension of comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Commission has released a Public Notice which extends the 
pleading cycle for comments on the Further Notice of Proposed 
Rulemaking (FNPRM) released February 26, 1998, which addressed 
telecommunications carriers' use of customer proprietary information 
and other customer information. Since the date of publication in the 
Federal Register occurred after the original comment cycle was over, 
some parties may not have had notice of the deadlines for the original 
comment cycle. The Commission wishes to give those parties an 
opportunity to comment.

DATES: Comments are due on or before June 8, 1998, and reply comments 
are due on or before June 23, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Comments and reply comments should be sent to Office of the 
Secretary, Federal Communications Commission, 1919 M Street, N.W., Room 
222, Washington, D.C. 20554, with a copy to Janice Myles of the Common 
Carrier Bureau, 1919 M Street, N.W., Room 544, Washington, D.C. 20554. 
Parties should also file one copy of any documents filed in this docket 
with the Commission's copy contractor, International Transcription 
Services, Inc., 1231 20th Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brent Olson, Common Carrier Bureau, 
Policy and Program Planning Division, (202) 418-1580.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Synopsis of Public Notice

    On February 26, 1998, the Commission released the Second Report and 
Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FNPRM) in CC Docket 
No. 96-115, 63 FR 20364, April 24, 1998, addressing telecommunications 
carriers' use of customer proprietary information and other customer 
information. The Commission established March 30, 1998 and April 14, 
1998 as the deadlines for parties to submit comments and reply 
comments, respectively. Since, however, the FNPRM was not published in 
the Federal Register until April 24, 1998, after both dates had passed, 
we are extending the comment cycle in order to give those parties who 
did not receive notice an opportunity to comment.
    Parties who did not have notice of the date to file original 
comments may file comments on or before June 8, 1998. We will not 
accept new comments from parties who have already filed comments in 
this proceeding. Reply comments should be filed on or before June 23, 
1998.

Federal Communications Commission.
Ann Stevens,
Associate Chief, Policy and Programming Division, Common Carrier 
Bureau.
