No. See Appendix FRN: See Appendix ORDER Adopted: April 27, 2011 Released: April 27, 2011 By the Chief, Telecommunications Consumers Division, Enforcement Bureau: 1. In this Order, which follows upon our Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (“Omnibus NAL”),1 we determine that no forfeiture penalties should be imposed on the companies listed in the Appendix. 2. In the Omnibus NAL, we found several companies apparently liable for forfeitures in the amount of $25,000 each for repeatedly violating section 222 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the “Communications Act” or “Act”),2 section 64.2009(e) of the Commission’s rules,3 and the Commission’s EPIC CPNI Order,4 because it appeared that they had not filed a timely CPNI compliance certification for calendar years 2007 and 2008. Consistent with section 503(b)(4) of the Act, each of these companies was granted an opportunity to show, in writing, why no such forfeiture should be imposed. 3. Upon review of the record, and based upon additional information provided by the companies, 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 issued to the companies in the attached Appendix WILL NOT BE IMPOSED. 1 Annual CPNI Certification, Omnibus Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture, 25 FCC Rcd 1790 (Enf.
