Sec. 64.1601 Delivery requirements and privacy restrictions.
(a) Delivery. Except as provided in paragraph (d) of this section, common
carriers using Signaling System 7 and offering or subscribing to any service
based on Signaling System 7 functionality are required to transmit the
calling party number (CPN) associated with an interstate call to
interconnecting carriers.
(b) Privacy. Except as provided in paragraph (d) of this section,
originating carriers using Signaling System 7 and offering or subscribing to
any service based on Signaling System 7 functionality will recognize *67
dialed as the first three digits of a call (or 1167 for rotary or pulse
dialing phones) as a caller's request that the CPN not be passed on an
interstate call. Such carriers providing line blocking services will
recognize *82 as a caller's request that the CPN be passed on an interstate
call. No common carrier subscribing to or offering any service that delivers
CPN may override the privacy indicator associated with an interstate call.
Carriers must arrange their CPN-based services, and billing practices, in
such a manner that when a caller requests that the CPN not be passed, a
carrier may not reveal that caller's number or name, nor may the carrier use
the number or name to allow the called party to contact the calling party.
The terminating carrier must act in accordance with the privacy indicator
unless the call is made to a called party that subscribes to an ANI or
charge number based service and the call is paid for by the called party.
(c) Charges. No common carrier subscribing to or offering any service that
delivers calling party number may
(1) Impose on the calling party charges associated with per call blocking of
the calling party's telephone number, or
(2) Impose charges upon connecting carriers for the delivery of the calling
party number parameter or its associated privacy indicator.
(d) Exemptions. Section 64.1601(a) and (b) shall not apply when:
(1) A call originates from a payphone.
(2) A local exchange carrier with Signaling System 7 capability does not
have the software to provide *67 or *82 functionalities. Such carriers are
prohibited from passing CPN.
(3) A Private Branch Exchange or Centrex system does not pass end user CPN.
Centrex systems that rely on *6 or *8 for a function other than CPN blocking
or unblocking, respectively, are also exempt if they employ alternative
means of blocking or unblocking.
(4) CPN delivery—
(i) Is used solely in connection with calls within the same limited system,
including (but not limited to) a Centrex system, virtual private network, or
Private Branch Exchange;
(ii) Is used on a public agency's emergency telephone line or in conjunction
with 911 emergency services, or on any entity's emergency assistance poison
control telephone line; or
(iii) Is provided in connection with legally authorized call tracing or
trapping procedures specifically requested by a law enforcement agency.
(e) Any person or entity that engages in telemarketing, as defined in
section 64.1200(f)(7) must transmit caller identification information.
(1) For purposes of this paragraph, caller identification information must
include either CPN or ANI, and, when available by the telemarketer's
carrier, the name of the telemarketer. It shall not be a violation of this
paragraph to substitute (for the name and phone number used in, or billed
for, making the call) the name of the seller on behalf of which the
telemarketing call is placed and the seller's customer service telephone
number. The telephone number so provided must permit any individual to make
a do-not-call request during regular business hours.
(2) Any person or entity that engages in telemarketing is prohibited from
blocking the transmission of caller identification information.
(3) Tax-exempt nonprofit organizations are not required to comply with this
paragraph.
