through a call center to reach a customer service representative, then the exemption does not
apply.

and Inland must have an express disciplinary process in place.
G. Inland must maintain a record, elechonically or in some other rnanner, of its own

campaign, the specific CPNI that was used in the campaign, and what products and services were
offered as a part of the campaign. Inland shall retain the record for a minimum of one year.

the FCC's CPNI nrles for outbound marketing situations and maintain records of its compliance

unauthorized access, and evaluate and increase its security measures should it discover an
increase in attempts to gain access to unauthorized information.
J. Inland must provide written notice within five business days to the FCC of any
instance where the opt-out mechanisms do not work properly, to such a degree that consumers'

customers, and contact information.
(2) Such notice rnust be submitted even if Inland offers other methods by
which consumers may opt-out.

(3) Inland must maintain a record, whether electronically or in some other manner of
any breaches discovered, notifications made to the USSS or FBI and notifications made

Ability to Remain Functional in Emergencies Gertification
554.313(axo)
EICs must demonstrate that it has a reasonable amount of back-up power to ensure functionality without
an extemal power source, is able to re-route tratfic around damaged facilities, and is capable of managing
traffic spikes resulting from emergency situations.
l, James K. Brooks, being of lavvful age, state that I am Treasurer/Controller of
lnland Telephone Company ("Company"), that I am authorized to execute this
certification on behalf of the Company, and that the facts set forth in this certification are
true to the best of my knowledge, information and belief.
On this basis, the Company certifies to the ldaho Public Utilities Commission,
pursuant lo 47 C.F.R. S 64.2009(e), that the Company's operating procedures are
adequate to ensure compliance with the Customer Proprietary Network lnformation
rules and regulations as set forth in 47 C.F.R. SS 64.2001 through 64.2009.
The Company is able to remain functional in emergencies as set forth in
Commission Order No. 29841 and in 47 C.F.R. 554.201 (a)(21, as such standards relate
to functionality of wireline carriers in emergency situations. The Company further
certifies that it maintains back-up power to ensure functionality without an external
power source in the forms of auxiliary generators and batteries in its central offices as
well as adequate battery back-up in its subscriber carrier cabinets and that its switching
capability is more than adequate to manage the traffic of its subscribers.
For calls within the exchange of Leon, depending upon where a cut is made,
there exists redundant toll routing however, the Lenore exchange has no redundant totl
routing. ln both exchanges, customers can continue to make calls within the exchange
should the interexchange interconnected facilities get disconnected. The Company
does not have ring technology at this time however; it is looking at redundant routing
altematives for Lenore.
I certify under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of ldaho that the
foregoing is true and correct.
Dated this 30h day of June, 2014 atRoslyn, Washington.

TRIBAL ENGAGEMENT STATEMENT
Although the service area of the Lenore exchange of Inland Telephone
Company, Idaho operations, is within the conventional boundaries of the Nez
Perce Tribe reservation, the exchange primarily consists of private property
(non-tribal). Inland does not serve the areas in which the Nez Perce have their
tribal headquarters, administration, enterprises, cultural center and anchor
institutions. Inland Telephone Company is an equal opportunity provider and
does not ask or keep track of race, creed, color or sexual orientation when
providing service; we wouldn't know if a subscriber was a tribal member unless
they were claiming Tribal Lifeline.
