Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal Communications Commission, 3314 [2017-00344]

Download as PDF 3314 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 7 / Wednesday, January 11, 2017 / Notices protect the information to the extent it is customer proprietary information. Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission is not requesting that respondents submit confidential information. Any respondent who submits information to the Commission, which the respondent believes is confidential, may request confidential treatment of such information under section 0.459 of the Commission’s rules. See 47 CFR Section 0.459. Needs and Uses: Section 222 requires that telecommunications carriers protect the confidentiality of customer proprietary information, and places restrictions on the use, disclosure, or permission of access to customer information absent customer approval. To include broadband Internet access services, and also to update the privacy rules for the changing business and technology landscape, the Commission adopted updated rules on October 27, 2016 (2016 Privacy Order).1 Among other things, the rules require telecommunications carriers, including BIAS providers, as well as interconnected VoIP providers, to: (1) Notify customers, the Commission, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Secret Service under certain circumstances, when customer proprietary information is breached; and (2) maintain records of breaches and breach notifications. Each of these information collections is necessary to fulfill the purposes of the Act as implemented by the Report and Order. Requirements to disclose breaches of customer proprietary information are necessary to ensure that customers and law enforcement can act to limit the harms caused by breaches. Similarly, the rules’ recordkeeping requirements for information about breaches of customer information are necessary to ensure continued protection of customer information through, inter alia, the identification of possible security vulnerabilities.
