ORDER
Adopted:  September 1, 2009 Released:  September 1, 2009
By the Acting Chief, Enforcement Bureau:
1. In this Order, we cancel a proposed forfeiture in the amount of twenty thousand dollars 
($20,000) issued to Pilgrim Telephone, Inc. (“Pilgrim”).  On February 24, 2009, the Bureau issued to 
Pilgrim a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (“Omnibus NAL”)1 based on Pilgrim’s apparent 
violation of section 222 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”),2 section 64.2009(e) 
of the Commission’s rules,3 and the Commission’s EPIC CPNI Order4 by failing to timely file an annual 
compliance certification with the Bureau.  
2. Upon review of the record, and based upon additional information provided by Pilgrim, 
we agree with Pilgrim that it was not required to file a CPNI certification for calendar year 2007.  During 
the 2007 calendar year, Pilgrim was not a telecommunications carrier.  Accordingly, we find that Pilgrim 
did not violate section 222 of the Act,5 section 64.2009(e) of the Commission’s rules,6 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 (“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 Pilgrim Telephone, Inc. in the February 24, 2009 Omnibus Notice of Apparent Liability for 
Forfeiture IS CANCELLED.
