ORDER
Adopted: August 4, 2009 Released: August 6, 2009
By the Chief, Enforcement Bureau:
I. introduction and Background
1. In this Order, we cancel a proposed forfeiture in the amount of twenty
thousand dollars ($20,000) issued to the City of Naperville
("Naperville") for apparent violation of section 222 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), section 64.2009(e)
of the Commission's rules, and the Commission's EPIC CPNI Order, by
failing to timely file an annual customer proprietary network
information ("CPNI") compliance certification with the Commission on
or before March 1, 2008.
2. On February 24, 2009, the Bureau issued to Naperville a Notice of
Apparent Liability for Forfeiture ("Omnibus NAL") proposing a
forfeiture in the amount of twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) based on
Naperville's apparent violation of section 222 of the Act, section
64.2009(e) of the Commission's rules, and the Commission's EPIC CPNI
Order, by failing to timely file an annual compliance certification
with the Bureau.
II. Discussion
3. Upon review of the record and based on additional information provided
by Naperville, we agree with Naperville that it should not have been
included in our Omnibus NAL because Naperville had no
telecommunications customers during calendar year 2007. Accordingly,
based on the record, we find that Naperville did not willfully and
repeatedly violate section 222 of the Act, section 64.2009(e) of the
Commission's rules, and the Commission's EPIC CPNI Order.
Consequently, we conclude that no forfeiture should be imposed.
4. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to section 503(b) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended ("Act"), and sections 0.111,
0.311 and 1.80(f) (4) of the Commission's rules, that the proposed
forfeiture in the amount of twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) issued
to the City of Naperville in the February 24, 2009 Omnibus Notice of
Apparent Liability for Forfeiture for willful and repeated violations
of a Commission rule IS CANCELLED.
5. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a copy of this Order shall be sent by First
Class Mail and Certified Mail Return Receipt Requested to the City of
Naperville, at its address of record, attn: Donald Carlsen, 400 South
Eagle Street, Naperville, IL 60540.
