Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act

In this document the Commission responds to petitions for reconsideration of previous Commission decisions in this proceeding which implements the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA). The Commission makes minor revisions to the Commission's rules to clarify the arrangements telecommunications carriers subject to CALEA must make to ensure that law enforcement agencies can contact them when necessary, and to clarify the interception activity that triggers a record keeping requirement. The Commission makes additional clarifications without altering the rules, but otherwise denies the requests for reconsideration.
