        situated mail users (determined without regard to size).
            ``(3) Rates and fees payable during the term of the 
        negotiated service agreement are reasonably calculated to yield 
        to the Postal Service total revenues (after taking into account 
        any costs avoided, and any additional costs incurred, by the 
        Postal Service pursuant to the agreement) at least equal to the 
        revenues that would be generated over that same period of time 
        by application of the rate or rates chargeable under the 
        classification or classifications of mail service most similar 
        to the services performed under the agreement.

noncompetitive products shall not become effective unless the Postal 
Rate Commission first certifies, in accordance with such expedited

offering a competitive product which does not conform to the policies 
set out in this title may lodge a complaint with the Postal Rate 
Commission in such form and in such manner as it may prescribe. The 
Commission may, in its discretion, hold hearings on such complaint and

PROBLEM: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Consumer Telephone Records 
Protection Act of 2006''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) telephone records can be of great use to criminals 
        because the information contained in call logs listed in such 
        records include a wealth of personal information;
            (2) many call logs reveal the names of many users' doctors, 
        public and private relationships, business associates, and 
        more;
            (3) although other personal information, such as social 
        security numbers may appear in public documents, which can be 
        accessed by data brokers, the only warehouse of telephone 
        records is located at the telephone companies themselves; and
            (4) telephone records may be accessed without authorization 
        of the customer by--
                    (A) an employee of the telephone company selling 
                the data;
                    (B) ``pretexting'', whereby a data broker or other 
                person pretends to be the owner of the phone and 
                convinces the telephone company's employees to release 
                the data to them; or
                    (C) unauthorized access of accounts via the 
                Internet; and
            (5) because telephone companies encourage customers to 
        manage their accounts online, many set up the online capability 
        in advance. Many customers never access their Internet 
        accounts, however. If someone seeking the information activates 
        the account before the customer, he or she can gain unfettered 
        access to the telephone records and call logs of that customer.

SEC. 3. PRIVACY PROTECTION FOR CUSTOMER INFORMATION OF 
              TELECOMMUNICATIONS CARRIERS.

    (a) Prohibition on Obtaining Customer Information by False 
Pretenses.--It shall be unlawful for any person to obtain or attempt to 
obtain, or cause to be disclosed or attempt to cause to be disclosed to 
any person, customer proprietary network information relating to any 
other person by--
            (1) making a false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or 
        representation to an officer, employee, or agent of a 
        telecommunications carrier; or
            (2) by providing, through any means including the Internet, 
        any document or other information to a telecommunications 
        carrier or an officer, employee, or agent of a 
        telecommunications carrier, knowing that the document or other 
        information is forged, counterfeit, lost, or stolen, was 
        obtained fraudulently or without the customer's consent, or 
        contains a false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or 
        representation.
    (b) Prohibition on Solicitation of a Person to Obtain Customer 
Information Under False Pretenses.--It shall be unlawful to request a 
person to obtain customer proprietary network information of a 
telecommunications carrier, knowing that the person will obtain, or 
attempt to obtain, the information from the telecommunications carrier 
in the manner described in subsection (a).
    (c) Prohibition on Sale or Other Disclosure of Customer Information 
Obtained Under False Pretenses.--It shall be unlawful for any person to 
sell customer proprietary network information relating to any other 
person, knowing that such information was obtained in the manner 
described in subsection (a).
    (d) Nonapplicability to Law Enforcement Agencies.--No provision of 
this section shall be construed so as to prevent any action by a law 
enforcement agency, or any officer, employee, or agent of such agency, 
to obtain customer proprietary network information of a 
telecommunications carrier in connection with the performance of 
official duties of the agency.

SEC. 4. TELECOMMUNICATIONS CARRIER NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENT.

    Section 222 of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 222) is 
amended--
            (1) by redesignating subsection (h) as subsection (i); and
            (2) by inserting after subsection (g) the following new 
        subsection:
    ``(h) Notice of Violations.--The Commission shall by regulation 
require each telecommunications carrier to notify the customer of any 
incidents in which such telecommunications carrier becomes or is made 
aware in which customer proprietary network information relating to 
such customer is disclosed to someone other than the customer in 
violation of this section or section 3 of the Consumer Telephone 
Records Protection Act of 2006.''.

SEC. 5. ENFORCEMENT BY THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION.

    A violation of section 3 shall be treated as an unfair or deceptive 
act or practice in violation of section 5 of the Federal Trade 
Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 45). All of the functions and powers of the 
Federal Trade Commission under that Act are available to the Commission 
to enforce compliance by any person with such section, irrespective of 
whether that person is engaged in commerce or meets any other 
jurisdictional tests in the Federal Trade Commission Act, including the 
power to enforce the provisions of such section in the same manner as 
if the violation had been a violation of a Federal Trade Commission 
trade regulation rule.

SEC. 6. CRIMINAL PENALTY.

    (a) In General.--Whoever knowingly and intentionally violates 
section 3 shall be fined in accordance with title 18, United States 
Code, or imprisoned for not more than 5 years, or both.
    (b) Enhanced Penalties for Aggravated Cases.--Whoever violates 
section 3 while violating another law of the United States or as part 
of a pattern of any illegal activity involving more than $100,000, or 
more than 50 customers of a telecommunications carrier, in a 12-month 
period shall be fined twice the amount provided in section 3571 of 
title 18, or imprisoned for not more than 10 years, or both.

SEC. 7. DEFINITIONS.

    As used in this Act, the following definitions apply:
            (1) Customer proprietary network information.--The term 
        ``customer proprietary network information'' has the meaning 
        given such term in section 222(h)(1) of the Communications Act 
        of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 222(h)(1)).
            (2) Telecommunications carrier.--The term 
        ``telecommunications carrier'' has the meaning given such term 
        in section 3(44) of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 
        153(44)).

SOLUTION: Consumer Telephone Records Protection Act of 2006 - Prohibits any person from obtaining or causing the disclosure of, or requesting another person to obtain, customer proprietary network information relating to another person by: (1) making a false statement to a telecommunications carrier; or (2) providing any information knowing that it is counterfeit, that it was obtained fraudulently or without the customer's consent, or that it contains a false statement. Prohibits a person from selling customer information relating to any other person knowing it was obtained in such manner.

Amends the Communications Act of 1934 to direct the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to require each telecommunications carrier to notify a customer when proprietary network information relating to such customer is disclosed in violation of such prohibitions.

Treats a violation as an unfair or deceptive act or practice in violation of the Federal Trade Commission Act. Gives all of the functions and powers of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) under that Act to the FCC to enforce compliance. Prescribes penalties, which double for violations that are part of a pattern of illegal activity.

PROBLEM: SECTION 1. EXPORTS OF ALASKAN NORTH SLOPE OIL.

    Section 28 of the Mineral Leasing Act (30 U.S.C. 185) is amended by 
amending subsection (s) to read as follows:
                  ``exports of alaskan north slope oil

    ``(s)(1) Subject to paragraphs (2) through (6) of this subsection 
and notwithstanding any other provision of this Act or any other 
provision of law (including any regulation) applicable to the export of 
oil transported by pipeline over right-of-way granted pursuant to 
section 203 of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline Authorization Act (43 U.S.C. 
1652), such oil may be exported unless the President finds that 
exportation of this oil is not in the national interest. The President 
shall make his national interest determination within five months of 
the date of enactment of this subsection. In evaluating whether exports 
of this oil are in the national interest, the President shall at a 
minimum consider--
            ``(A) whether exports of this oil would diminish the total 
        quantity or quality of petroleum available to the United 
        States;
            ``(B) the results of an appropriate environmental review, 
        including consideration of appropriate measures to mitigate any 
        potential adverse effects of exports of this oil on the 
        environment, which shall be completed within four months of the 
        date of the enactment of this subsection; and
            ``(C) whether exports of this oil are likely to cause 
        sustained material oil supply shortages or sustained oil prices 
        significantly above world market levels that would cause 
        sustained material adverse employment effects in the United 
        States or that would cause substantial harm to consumers, 
        including noncontiguous States and Pacific territories.
If the President determines that exports of this oil are in the 
national interest, he may impose such terms and conditions (other than 
a volume limitation) as are necessary or appropriate to ensure that 
such exports are consistent with the national interest.
    ``(2) Except in the case of oil exported to a country with which 
the United States entered into a bilateral international oil supply 
agreement before November 26, 1979, or to a country pursuant to the 
International Emergency Oil Sharing Plan of the International Energy 
Agency, any oil transported by pipeline over right-of-way granted 
pursuant to section 203 of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline Authorization Act 
(43 U.S.C. 1652) shall, when exported, be transported by a vessel 
documented under the laws of the United States and owned by a citizen 
of the United States (as determined in accordance with section 2 of the 
Shipping Act, 1916 (46 U.S.C. App. 802)).
    ``(3) Nothing in this subsection shall restrict the authority of 
the President under the Constitution, the International Emergency 
Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), or the National 
Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) to prohibit exports of this 
oil or under Part B of title II of the Energy Policy and Conservation 
Act (42 U.S.C. 6271-76).
    ``(4) The Secretary of Commerce shall issue any rules necessary for 
implementation of the President's national interest determination, 
including any licensing requirements and conditions, within 30 days of 
the date of such determination by the President. The Secretary of 
Commerce shall consult with the Secretary of Energy in administering 
the provisions of this subsection.
    ``(5) If the Secretary of Commerce finds that exporting oil under 
authority of this subsection has caused sustained material oil supply 
shortages or sustained oil prices significantly above world market 
levels and further finds that these supply shortages or price increases 
have caused or are likely to cause sustained material adverse 
employment effects in the United States, the Secretary of Commerce, in 
consultation with the Secretary of Energy, shall recommend, and the 
President may take, appropriate action concerning exports of this oil, 
which may include modifying or revoking authority to export such oil.
    ``(6) Administrative action under this subsection is not subject to 
sections 551 and 553 through 559 of title 5, United States Code.''.

SEC. 2. GAO REPORT.

    (a) Review.--The Comptroller General of the United States shall 
conduct a review of energy production in California and Alaska and the 
effects of Alaskan North Slope oil exports, if any, on consumers, 
independent refiners, and shipbuilding and ship repair yards on the 
West Coast and in Hawaii. The Comptroller General shall commence this 
review two years after the date of enactment of this Act and, within 
six months after commencing the review, shall provide a report to the 
Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate and the 
Committee on Resources and the Committee on Commerce of the House of 
Representatives.
    (b) Contents of Report.--The report shall contain a statement of 
the principal findings of the review and recommendations for Congress 
and the President to address job loss in the shipbuilding and ship 
repair industry on the West Coast, as well as adverse impacts on 
consumers and refiners on the West Coast and in Hawaii, that the 
Comptroller General attributes to Alaska North Slope oil exports.

            Passed the House of Representatives July 24, 1995.

            Attest:

                                                ROBIN H. CARLE,

                                                                 Clerk.

SOLUTION:
Amends the Mineral Leasing Act to permit the export of Alaskan North Slope oil unless the President finds, within five months after enactment of this Act, that such exportation is not in the national interest.  Sets forth mandatory considerations in evaluating whether such exportation is in the national interest, including an environmental review and supply and employment impact analysis.
