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”)1 based on Freedom Communications’ apparent 
violation of section 222 of the Communications Act of 1934,2 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 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,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, 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
