FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
47 CFR Part 64

[CC Docket No. 91-281, FCC 95-187]


Calling Number Identification Service--Caller ID

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Third notice of proposed rulemaking.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that in a Third Notice of Proposed 
Rulemaking on Rules and Policies Regarding Calling Number 
Identification Service--Caller ID, adopted May 4, 1995, the Commission 
proposed that Private Branch Exchange (PBX) systems and private 
payphones capable of delivering Calling Party Number (CPN) to the 
public switched telephone network also be capable of: Delivering a 
privacy indicator when the user of a telephone served by the PBX or 
private payphone dials *67, and unblocking the transmission of their 
CPN when the user dials *82.

DATES: Comments are due on or before June 30, 1995, and reply comments 
are due on or before July 28, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Marian Gordon (202/634-4215) or Mike 
Specht (202/634-1816), Domestic Facilities Division, Common Carrier 
Bureau.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The above actions were taken pursuant to 
Sections 1, 4(i) and (j), 201-205, 218 of the Communications Act as 
amended, 47 U.S.C. 151, 154(i), 151(j), 201-205, and 218. The 
Commission takes this action to ensure that the privacy expectations of 
users of such equipment will be honored. If PBX or private payphones 
can pass CPN to the public switched network, but do not enable callers 
using telephones connected to the PBX to indicate a privacy request to 
switches in the public network, the Commission believes it creates risk 
to calling parties that must be addressed.
