This is the best I could find with a quick search. Maybe later.
[T]he Federal Aviation Regulations do not explicitly allow `one phone call' from the carrier during a pilot's rest period. However, the FAA established the `one phone call policy,' based on certain narrow conditions and the fact pattern presented to us. Generally speaking, an air carrier can initiate a phone call and a pilot can--on his or her own volition--receive one phone call from an air carrier without the phone call being viewed as disruptive and breaking the continuous rest period.
