In CC Docket No. 96-149, the Commission adopted safeguards to govern BOCs entry into certain new markets. BOCs are required to provide, among other things, unaffiliated entities with all listing information, including unlisted and unpublished numbers as well as the numbers of other local exchange carriers' customers, that the BOC uses to provide E9II services. In a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking issued in CC Docket No. 96-149, the Commission proposed that BOCs make certain information disclosures available to unaffiliated entities and that the BOCs submit an annual affidavit.
