                                     ORDER

   Adopted: September 30, 2010 Released: October 1, 2010

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

    1. In this Order, which follows upon our Notice of Apparent Liability for
       Forfeiture ("NAL"), we determine that no forfeiture penalty should be
       imposed on Oneida County Rural Telephone Co. ("Oneida").

    2. On March 29, 2007, the Enforcement Bureau issued an NAL  in the amount
       of $100,000 to Oneida for its apparent violation of the Commission's
       rules by failing to prepare and maintain a CPNI certification that
       complies with section 64.2009(e). Consistent with section 503(b)(4) of
       the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, Oneida was granted an
       opportunity to show, in writing, why no such forfeiture should be
       imposed.

    3. In response to the NAL, Oneida provided evidence that it was in
       compliance with the Commission's CPNI rules. Accordingly, we find 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, and sections 0.111, 0.311, and
       1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's rules, the proposed forfeiture in the
       NAL WILL NOT BE IMPOSED.

    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 Oneida
       County Rural Telephone Co. to its address of record.
