Synopsis LPS is a public school district serving Liberty, Missouri, a city of approximately 30,000 that is part of Kansas City, Missouri, and parts of unincorporated Clay County, Missouri. LPS employs a staff of 1300 that provides education and services for 9300 students, with facilities and operations spanning a land area of approximately 30 square miles. According to LPS, the school district provides some of its own security and telecommunications services. Over the course of a year, LPS reports receiving between 6 and 10 threatening or harassing phone calls that are considered serious in nature. LPS states that the telecommunications carriers serving LPS are bound by the CPN privacy rules, and parties placing threatening or harassing calls often use the CPN privacy indicator to prevent authorities from identifying them or their location. As a result, LPS security personnel must request a trace of threatening or harassing calls to attempt to identify and locate the caller, a process that can take up to a week. LPS emphasizes that security personnel need to be able to identify and locate callers in a timelier manner to have a chance of apprehending them or preventing them from acting on their threats. According to LPS, its telecommunications assets include a Central Office Switch facility with a call information data log capable of recording all originating and terminating numbers. Currently, telecommunications carriers will not transmit restricted CPNs to LPS, and security and other personnel are therefore prevented from identifying and locating harassing or threatening callers in a timely manner. LPS states that it will limit access to restricted CPN information by: (1) Operating the switch in a secure facility; (2) allowing telecommunications and security personnel to access restricted CPN data only when investigating threatening or harassing calls and documenting the access as part of the PO 00000 Frm 00061 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 investigative report; (3) allowing transmission of restricted CPN information from LPS to other law enforcement agencies only through secure communications; and (4) destroying CPN data after a reasonable retention period. LPS argues that the waiver would serve the public interest because it would allow LPS to better protect its staff and students by providing rapid responses to threatening or harassing calls. LPS further argues that its situation presents special circumstances that warrant a limited waiver of the rules. First, LPS provides both the security service and end office telecommunications to all locations within its geographical boundaries. Also, the waiver would be applicable only to a narrow and well-defined public institution making it predictable, workable and not subject to discriminatory application.
