provide copies and evidence of its timely filed CPNI compliance certificate for 2007, which was due by
March 1, 2008, pursuant to section 64.2009(e) of the Commission's rules or an explanation as to why no
certification was filed."2 DNA submitted a response on September 9, 2008."3 The Bureau concluded that

certification." Accordingly, on February 24, 2009, the Bureau released the Omnibus NAL against
numerous companies, including DNA, proposing a monetary forfeiture of twenty thousand dollars
($20,000) for its apparent failure to comply with section 64.2009(e) of the Commission's rules,s and the
Commission's EPIC CPNI Order, and ordered the Company either to pay the proposed forfeiture or file a
written response within thirty (30) days of the release date stating why the proposed forfeiture should be
reduced or canceled. DNA requested that the Bureau enter into settlement discussions.
