INTRODUCTION l  X-lU1.` ` Siemens Business Communication Systems, Inc. ("Siemens"), a manufacturer of  X-telecommunications equipment, seeks reconsideration of the Commission's Third Report and  X-Order related to caller identification ("caller ID") rules and their application to private branch  X-exchange ("PBX") systems.& {O-ԍSee Rules and Policies Regarding Calling Number Identification Service Caller ID, Third Report and Order, Memorandum Opinion and Order on Further Reconsideration, and Memorandum Opinion and Order on  {O-Reconsideration, FCC 97103, CC Docket No. 91281, 12 FCC Rcd 3867, 388283 (1997) (Third Report and  {O_-Order). Siemens requests that the Commission reconsider any requirements that mandate PBX equipment manufacturers, by March 25, 1998, to manufacture PBX systems to allow users to dial *67 to block transmission of enduser CPN, and *82 to  XE-unblock transmission of CPN.rE {O -ԍSee Siemens's Petition for Reconsideration at 4 (Petition).r On our own motion, we stay application of Section 64.1601(b) to manufacturers of PBX equipment until the Commission addresses Siemens's petition for reconsideration.  X-1 II. BACKGROUND ĐlU  X-2.` ` Section 64.1601(a) of the Commission's rules requires common carriers using Signaling System 7 ("SS7") to transmit the calling party number ("CPN") associated with anX H0*0*0*3'#"X  X-interstate call to interconnecting carriers.W yOy-ԍ  47 C.F.R.  64.1601(a).W Section 64.1601(b) prohibits carriers from revealing a caller's name or number when the caller requests that information not be provided to the  X-called party.KX yO-ԍ47 C.F.R.  64.1601(b).K Section 64.1601(b) also requires carriers employing SS7 to recognize *67 as a request for privacy on an interstate call. This rule also requires that if a carrier offers per line blocking it must recognize *82 as a caller's request that the CPN not be blocked on an  X-interstate call.A {O& -ԍ Id.A Section 64.1601(b) applies to the delivery of the CPN, and extends to call  Xv-return services.^vz {O -ԍSee Rules and Policies Regarding Calling Number Identification Service Caller ID, Memorandum  {Ok -Opinion and Order on Reconsideration, Second Report and Order and Third Notice of Proposed Rulemaking,  {O5-FCC 95187, CC Docket No. 91281 , 10 FCC Rcd 11700, 11708 (1995) (Second Report and Order).   XH-3.` ` On March 25, 1997, the Commission issued the Third Report and Order mandating that by March 25, 1998, PBX systems that pass end user CPN must provide CPN  X -blocking capability.  {Om-ԍThird Report and Order at 3882 . End user CPN refers to the number associated with a specific phone, as opposed to an administrative or other number which is not the end user's direct telephone number. The Commission found that this rule would place no undue burdens on  X -owners and operators of PBXs that could not pass end user CPN.:  {O-ԍId.: Furthermore, the Third  X -Report and Order stated that some PBX equipment that has the capability of passing end user CPN also has the ability to suppress it, and that a PBX owner's activation of the suppression  X -option would preclude any need for end user blocking capability.:  {O-ԍId.: In a prior order, the Commission noted that PBX equipment that passes CPN but does not allow callers to indicate  X-a privacy request creates risks to calling parties.Y \ {Oe-ԍSee Rules and Policies Regarding Calling Number Identification Service Caller ID, Memorandum  {O/-Opinion and Order on Reconsideration, Second Report and Order and Third Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, FCC 95187, CC Docket No. 91281, 10 FCC Rcd 11700, 11742 (1995).Y The Commission rejected the argument that users of PBX equipment have no privacy expectations, noting that PBX systems are often  Xh-installed in shelters for abused persons.: hB {O[#-ԍId.: "Q 0*%%GG"Ԍ X-5 III. DISCUSSION lU  X-4.` ` After reviewing the record, we conclude that we will best serve the public interest by temporarily staying, on our own motion, the application of section 64.1601(b) to manufacturers of PBX systems until the Commission rules on Siemens's Petition. We find that granting a stay serves the public interest because the Commission may clarify its rules regarding this section's applicability to PBX equipment manufacturers as a consequence of Siemens's petition for reconsideration.  X1-5.` ` Siemens's Petition posits that, as written, the Commission's rules regarding caller ID apply only to telecommunications carriers, not to equipment manufacturers, owners,  X -and operators of PBX equipment.I   {O| -ԍSee Petition at 7.I Siemens alleges, however, that the Third Report and  X -Order places the onus of complying with blocking and unblocking requirements on PBX equipment manufacturers as well, even though the Commission did not modify its Part 68  X -rules  Z yO-ԍ Part 68 of the Commission's rules governs the interconnection of telecommunications terminal equipment and its associated wiring with the public switched telecommunications network. 47 C.F.R.  68.1. which govern terminal equipment such as PBXs.?  yO%-ԍPetition at 5.? The source of Siemens's concern  X -stems from language in the Third Report and Order which reads, "we now require that PBX  X-systems that do pass the end user CPN must provide blocking capability within one year of  X-the release date of this order."{B {Ot-ԍPetition at 45 (citing Third Report and Order at 3882). { Siemens states that the Commission failed to incorporate the purported requirement imposed on owners and operators into its rules, and failed to explain  XS-whether the requirement applies to PBX manufacturers.?S yO-ԍPetition at 3.? Siemens states that in light of this  X<-alleged inconsistency between the Third Report and Order and the rules, confusion in the industry will make it impossible to achieve compliance with the requirement by March 25, 1998.  X-6.` ` Siemens requests that we immediately suspend the March 25, 1998, compliance  X-deadline with Section 64.1601 for a period of two years from the date of an order granting Siemens's petition. We note here that we are not, at this time, granting the suspension Siemens requests in its petition. Rather, given that the date by which users of PBX equipment are supposed to be able to block and unblock transmission of CPN is March 25, 1998, and that Siemens's petition raises complex points of law, we temporarily stay Section"od 0*%%GG"  X-64.1601(b) of the Commission's rulesJ yOy-ԍ47 C.F.R. 64.1601(b).J as it applies to PBX equipment manufacturers until the Commission addresses Siemens's Petition.  X-7.` ` In an order of October 30, 1995, the Commission stayed application of Section  X-64.1601(b) for calls that originated from hotel and motel lines until January 1, 1997.X {O-ԍRules and Policies Regarding Calling Number Identification Service Caller ID, Order, FCC 95446, CC Docket No. 91281, 10 FCC Rcd 13819 (1995). In reaching that decision, the Commission stated that ". . . no matter how the issues raised in BellSouth's Reconsideration Petition are resolved, and even if the Commission adheres to its original decision in every material respect, complying with these rules prior to the resolution of issues raised in the Third Notice impose costly and inefficient expenditures for network  X1-upgrades.":1 {O-ԍId.: The Commission expressed concern that carriers could incur economic harm if they had to comply with the caller ID rules prior to the Commission's review of the blocking  X -and unblocking requirements for certain categories of lines.D D {O-ԍId. at 13820.D  X -8.` ` We find the reasoning of the Commission's October 30 Order applicable to Siemens's current position. Even if the Commission denies Siemens's petition for reconsideration in all respects, complying with rules that may not be clearly applicable to  X-equipment manufacturers by March 25, 1998, the time specified in the Third Report and  X{-Order, could impose costly and inefficient upgrades of PBX product lines. The Commission is currently reviewing the record in this matter.  X8-9.` ` Accordingly, we conclude that a stay of the application of Section 64.1601(b) as it may apply to manufacturers of PBX equipment is warranted until the Commission issues  X -an order on reconsideration of the Third Report and Order.  X-h IV. ORDERING CLAUSE lU  X-10.` ` Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Section 1.3 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.  1.3, and the authority that is delegated pursuant to Section 0.291 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.291, that Section 64.1601(b) of the Commission's rules, 47"0*%%GG"  C.F.R.  64.1601(b), is STAYED only for manufacturers of PBX equipment until further order.
