{"abstract":"In this document, the Commission amends its Caller Identification (Caller ID) privacy rules to allow law enforcement and security personnel, as directed by law enforcement, to obtain quick access to blocked Caller ID information needed to identify and thwart threatening callers. The Commission exempts threatening calls from blocked numbers from its caller privacy rules. Studies and reports show a disturbing increase in threatening calls in recent years. Many threatening calls come from blocked numbers. It directs carries that upon report of such a threatening call by law enforcement on behalf of the threatened party, the carrier will provide any CPN of the calling party to law enforcement and, as directed by law enforcement, to security personnel for the called party for the purpose of identifying the party responsible for the threatening call. The Commission also amends its rules to allow non-public emergency services to obtain blocked Caller ID information associated with calls requesting assistance.","action":"Final rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION","name":"Federal Communications Commission","id":161,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-communications-commission","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/161","parent_id":null,"slug":"federal-communications-commission"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2017/12/01/2017-25917.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":64,"title":47}],"citation":"82 FR 56909","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Effective January 2, 2018, except for 47 CFR 64.1601(d)(4)(ii) and (f), which contain new or modified information collection requirements that require review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), shall become effective 30 days after the Commission's publication of a document in the Federal Register, which will announce approval by OMB under the PRA.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["CC Docket No. 91-281","FCC 17-132"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2017-25917","effective_on":"2018-01-02","end_page":56917,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2017/12/01/2017-25917.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/12/01/2017-25917/calling-number-identification-service-caller-id","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2017-25917?publication_date=2017-12-01","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2017-12-01/2017-25917/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":9,"page_views":{"count":2415,"last_updated":"2026-05-13 10:15:06 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2017-12-01/pdf/2017-25917.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2017-25917.pdf?1512049559","publication_date":"2017-12-01","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2017/12/01/2017-25917.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2017-12-21T06:00:17Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":56909,"subtype":null,"title":"Calling Number Identification Service-Caller ID","toc_doc":"Calling Number Identification ServiceCaller ID","toc_subject":null,"topics":["Communications common carriers","Reporting and recordkeeping requirements","Telecommunications","Telephone"],"type":"Rule","volume":82}
