## Abstract

The Common Carrier Bureau, acting pursuant to delegated authority, granted Sprint Communications Co. (Sprint) a waiver of the Federal Communications Commission's calling party number (CPN) delivery rules until June 1, 1996. The Commission's CPN delivery rules require that common carriers using Signaling System 7 are required to transmit the CPN associated with an interstate call to interconnecting carriers. Sprint requested the waiver because it needed additional time to correct a technical problem in which the privacy of a calling party might be compromised. The Bureau conditioned this waiver on Sprint providing two progress reports to the Bureau. These reports are to be provided not later than April 15, 1996 and again on May 10, 1996. The intended effect of this action is to avoid compromising the privacy of callers.
