                                     ORDER

   Adopted: June 10, 2010 Released: June 11, 2010

   By the Acting Chief, Telecommunications Consumers Division, Enforcement
   Bureau:

    1. In this Order, we cancel a proposed forfeiture in the amount of four
       thousand dollars ($4,000) issued to Tennessee Telephone Service, LLC
       d/b/a Freedom Communications USA, LLC ("Freedom Communications"). On
       February 26, 2009, the Bureau issued to Freedom Communications a
       Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture ("NAL") based on Freedom
       Communications' apparent violation of section 222 of the
       Communications Act of 1934, 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.

    2. Upon review of the record, and based on additional information
       provided by Freedom Communications, we agree with Freedom
       Communications that it had submitted, by mail, a complete CPNI
       certification filing for the 2007 calendar year; although several
       pages were not uploaded on the Commission's database. Accordingly, we
       find that Freedom Communications did not violate section 222 of the
       Act, section 64.2009(e) of the Commission's rules, or the Commission's
       EPIC CPNI Order. Consequently, we conclude that no forfeiture should
       be imposed.

    3. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to section 503(b) of the
       Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and sections 0.111, 0.311 and
       1.80(f) (4) of the Commission's rules, that the proposed forfeiture in
       the amount of four thousand dollars ($4,000) issued to Tennessee
       Telephone Service, LLC d/b/a Freedom Communications USA, LLC in the
       February 26, 2009 Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture IS
       CANCELLED.

    4. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a copy of this Order shall be sent by First
       Class Mail and Certified Mail Return Receipt Requested to Tennessee
       Telephone Service, LLC d/b/a Freedom Communications USA, LLC, attn:
       Pearl Lombardo, 220 Creekside Drive, Dickson, TN 37055.
