Subject: FCC Seeks Comments On Updates To CPNI Breach Reporting Rule
by Aaron Burstein (Los Angeles) and Alexander Schneider (Los Angeles)
The Federal Communications Commission ("FCC" or "Commission") is
seeking comments on a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to refresh
its customer proprietary network information ("CPNI") data breach
reporting requirements (the "Rule"). Adopted earlier this month by a
unanimous 4-0 vote of the Commission, the NPRM solicits comments on
rule revisions that would expand the scope of notification obligations
and accelerate the timeframe to notify customers after a data breach
involving telephone call detail records and other CPNI. The FCC cites
“an increasing number of security breaches of customer information” in
the telecommunications industry in recent years and the need to "keep
pace with today's challenges" and best practices that have emerged
under other federal and state notification standards as reasons to
update the Rule.
According to the current Rule, a “breach” means that a person “without
authorization or exceeding authorization, has intentionally gained
access to, used, or disclosed CPNI.” As summarized in the NPRM, CPNI
includes “phone numbers called by a consumer, the frequency, duration,
and timing of such calls, the location of a mobile device when it is
in active mode (i.e., able to signal its location to nearby network
facilities), and any services purchased by the consumer, such as call
waiting.” (The NPRM does not propose any changes to the definition of
CPNI.)

Subject: CWA: Big Win for CWA On Broadband In Syracuse, NY!
With CWA’s help, Verizon won a major bid in the Syracuse area for
broadband buildout.
The American Rescue Plan, a $1.9 trillion stimulus package, was signed
into law by President Biden in 2021 in order to help stimulate
American manufacturing and job creation - including funding for
broadband expansion. As part of this funding, Onondaga County, NY
received $11.1 million in funding to expand broadband in underserved
rural areas, and accepted bids from telecom companies to do his
work. CWA Legislative & Political Action Team members in New York
fought for rules that ensured that companies had to pay prevailing
wage and follow strong labor standards so that taxpayer money is not
wasted on unskilled, low-road contractors taking our work.
