§ 64.1604   Prohibition on transmission of inaccurate or misleading caller
identification information.

   (a) No person or entity in the United States shall, with the intent to
   defraud, cause harm, or wrongfully obtain anything of value, knowingly
   cause, directly or indirectly, any caller identification service to transmit
   or display misleading or inaccurate caller identification information.

   (b) Exemptions. Paragraph (a) of this section shall not apply to:

   (1) Lawfully authorized investigative, protective, or intelligence activity
   of a law enforcement agency of the United States, a State, or a political
   subdivision of a State, or of an intelligence agency of the United States;
   or

   (2)  Activity  engaged  in pursuant to a court order that specifically
   authorizes the use of caller identification manipulation.

   (c) A person or entity that blocks or seeks to block a caller identification
   service from transmitting or displaying that person or entity's own caller
   identification information pursuant to § 64.1601(b) of this part shall not be
   liable for violating the prohibition in paragraph (a) of this section. This
   paragraph  (c)  does  not relieve any person or entity that engages in
   telemarketing, as defined in § 64.1200(f)(10) of this part, of the obligation
   to transmit caller identification information under § 64.1601(e).
