On August 30, 2005, the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) filed a petition with the Commission asking the Commission to investigate telecommunications carriers’ current security practices and to initiate a rulemaking proceeding to consider establishing more stringent security standards for telecommunications carriers to govern the disclosure of CPNI. In particular, EPIC proposed that the Commission consider requiring the use of consumer-set passwords, creating audit trails, employing encryption, limiting data retention, and improving notice procedures. On February 14, 2006, the Commission released the EPIC CPNI Notice, 71 FR 13317 (March 15, 2006), in which it sought comment on (a) the nature and scope of the problem identified by EPIC, including pretexting, and (b) what additional steps, if any, the Commission should take to protect further the privacy of CPNI. Specifically, the Commission sought comment on the five EPIC proposals listed above. In addition, the Commission tentatively concluded that it should amend its rules to require carriers annually to file their section 64.2009(e) certifications with the Commission. It also sought comment on whether it should require carriers to obtain a customer’s opt-in consent before the carrier shares CPNI with its joint venture partners and independent contractors; whether to impose rules relating to how carriers verify customers’ identities; whether to adopt a set of security requirements that could E:\FR\FM\08JNR3.SGM 08JNR3
