Sec.  22.1102   Definitions.

   

   Call identifying information. Call identifying information means
   dialing or signaling information that identifies the origin,
   direction, destination, or termination of each communication generated
   or received by a subscriber by means of any equipment, facility, or
   service of a telecommunications carrier. Call identifying information
   is "reasonably available" to a carrier if it is present at an
   intercept access point and can be made available without the carrier
   being unduly burdened with network modifications.

   Collection function. The location where lawfully authorized
   intercepted communications and call-identifying information is
   collected by a law enforcement agency (LEA).

   Content of subject-initiated conference calls. Capability that permits
   a LEA to monitor the content of conversations by all parties connected
   via a conference call when the facilities under surveillance maintain
   a circuit connection to the call.

   Destination. A party or place to which a call is being made (e.g., the
   called party).

   Dialed digit extraction. Capability that permits a LEA to receive on
   the call data channel digits dialed by a subject when a call is
   connected to another carrier's service for processing and routing.

   Direction. A party or place to which a call is re-directed or the
   party or place from which it came, either incoming or outgoing (e.g.,
   a redirected-to party or redirected-from party).

   In-band and out-of-band signaling. Capability that permits a LEA to be
   informed when a network message that provides call identifying
   information (e.g., ringing, busy, call waiting signal, message light)
   is generated or sent by the IAP switch to a subject using the
   facilities under surveillance. Excludes signals generated by customer
   premises equipment when no network signal is generated.

   Intercept Access Point (IAP). Intercept access point is a point within
   a carrier's system where some of the communications or
   call-identifying information of an intercept subject's equipment,
   facilities, and services are accessed.

   J-STD-025. The interim standard developed by the Telecommunications
   Industry Association and the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry
   Solutions for wireline, cellular, and broadband PCS carriers. This
   standard defines services and features to support lawfully authorized
   electronic surveillance, and specifies interfaces necessary to deliver
   intercepted communications and call-identifying information to a LEA.

   LEA. Law enforcement agency; e.g., the Federal Bureau of Investigation
   or a local police department.

   Origin. A party initiating a call (e.g., a calling party), or a place
   from which a call is initiated.

   Party hold, join, drop on conference calls. Capability that permits a
   LEA to identify the parties to a conference call conversation at all
   times.

   Subject-initiated dialing and signaling information. Capability that
   permits a LEA to be informed when a subject using the facilities under
   surveillance uses services that provide call identifying information,
   such as call forwarding, call waiting, call hold, and three-way
   calling. Excludes signals generated by customer premises equipment
   when no network signal is generated.

   Termination. A party or place at the end of a communication path (e.g.
   the called or call-receiving party, or the switch of a party that has
   placed another party on hold).

   Timing information. Capability that permits a LEA to associate
   call-identifying information with the content of a call. A
   call-identifying message must be sent from the carrier's IAP to the
   LEA's Collection Function within eight seconds of receipt of that
   message by the IAP at least 95% of the time, and with the call event
   time-stamped to an accuracy of at least 200 milliseconds.
