SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060–0895.
Title: Numbering Resource
Optimization, CC Docket No. 99–200 (47
CFR 52.15, Central Office Code
Administration).
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit.
Number of Respondents: 2,780
respondents; 7,385 responses.
Estimated Time Per Response: 1–44.4
hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
and semi-annual reporting requirements
and recordkeeping requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Mandatory.
Total Annual Burden: 131,782 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $3,462,800.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
Disaggregated, carrier specific forecast
and utilization data will be treated as
confidential and will be exempt from
public disclosure under 5 U.S.C.
552(b)(4) of the Privacy Act.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will submit this information collection
to OMB as a revision during this
comment period to obtain the full threeyear clearance from them.
The Commission has revised the
burden hours and annual cost since this
was last submitted to OMB.
For this submission to OMB, the
Commission is eliminating a one-time
reporting requirement that carriers
submit cost support data so that the
Commission could determine the cost
associated with the thousand-block
number pooling. Carriers were required
to include an analysis of the differences
between the shared industry costs
associated with the thousand-block
number pooling and the shared industry
costs, if any, associated with the current
practices that resulted in more frequent
area code changes. Because the
Commission is revising this collection
to eliminate this one-time requirement,
we are reporting a ¥50,108 hourly
burden reduction. The Commission is
also reporting a ¥$4,396,200 reduction
in annual costs due to an adjustment
because industry burden costs have
been re-estimated for contract years 2–
4 for wages.
The data from this information
collection is used by the FCC, state

Reconsideration of CALLS Order
Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This document requests that
parties that filed petitions for
reconsideration of a 2000 Commission
order adopting rules applicable to price
cap local exchange carriers file
supplemental notices indicating
whether they wish to pursue any issues
in those petitions. Subsequent court
decisions and Commission actions may
have mooted the issues in those
petitions for reconsideration.
DATES: Supplemental notices due April
20, 2007, and comments due May 7,
2007.
Filings should be mailed to
the Commission’s Secretary through the
Commission’s contractor, Natek, Inc., at
236 Massachusetts Avenue, NE., Suite
110, Washington, DC 20002.

Victoria Goldberg, Wireline Competition
Bureau, Pricing Policy Division, (202)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to the Commission’s rules governing
petitions for reconsideration, 47 CFR
1.106, the Wireline Competition Bureau
(the Bureau) invites interested parties to
update the record pertaining to petitions
for reconsideration filed with respect to
the CALLS Order, 65 FR 38684, June 21,
2000.
After the Commission released the
CALLS Order on May 31, 2000, four
parties filed petitions for
reconsideration of that order. These
petitions were filed by the Association
for Local Telecommunications Services
(ALTS) and Focal Communications
Corp., One Call Communications, Inc.,
Pathfinder Communications, Inc., and
ADDRESSES:
PO 00000
Frm 00048

the Texas Office of Public Utility
Counsel. The Commission addressed the
petition filed by One Call
Communications, Inc. in a subsequent
order, 68 FR 43327, July 22, 2003, and
the Texas Office of Public Utility
Counsel withdrew its petition on July
27, 2000.
Since these petitions were filed, there
has been a court of appeals decision and
additional Commission orders
addressing the rules adopted in the
CALLS Order, including a decision by
the United States Court of Appeals for
the Fifth Circuit, an order on remand, 68
FR 50077, August 20, 2003, and an
order on reconsideration, 68 FR 43327,
July 22, 2003. Issues raised in the
pending petitions for reconsideration
may therefore have become moot or
outdated. As a result, it is not clear
whether issues arising out of the CALLS
Order, if any, remain in dispute. In
addition, the reform proposal adopted
in the CALLS Order has reached the end
of its five-year term and the Commission
is developing a record on
comprehensive intercarrier
compensation reform in CC Docket No.
01–92 and on regulation of special
access services in WC Docket No. 05–25.
Because the petitions for
reconsideration were filed several years
ago, the passage of time and intervening
developments may have rendered the
records developed by those petitions
stale.
For these reasons, the Bureau requests
that parties that filed petitions for
reconsideration of the CALLS Order
now file a supplemental notice
indicating those issues that they still
wish to be reconsidered. Petitioners may
include with the supplemental notices
any new information or arguments they
believe to be relevant to deciding only
those issues that they previously raised
in their petitions for reconsideration.
The refreshed record will enable the
Commission to consider what action
may be appropriate in this proceeding.
Parties may file supplemental notices
updating their previously filed petitions
for reconsideration no later than April
20, 2007, with the Secretary, FCC, 445
12th Street, SW., Washington, DC
20554. Oppositions or responses to
these filings may be filed with the
Secretary, FCC, no later than May 7,
2007. All pleadings are to reference CC
Docket Nos. 96–262, 94–1, 99–249, 96–
45. All pleadings may be filed using the
Commission’s Electronic Comment
Filing System (ECFS) or by filing paper
copies. For ECFS filers, if multiple
docket or rulemaking numbers appear in
the caption of this proceeding, filers
must transmit one electronic copy of the
comments for each docket or

overnight courier, or by first-class or

(although we continue to experience

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Commission's rules governing

Bureau (the Bureau) invites interested parties to update the record
pertaining to petitions for reconsideration filed with respect to the
CALLS Order, 65 FR 38684, June 21, 2000.
After the Commission released the CALLS Order on May 31, 2000, four
parties filed petitions for reconsideration of that order. These
petitions were filed by the Association for Local Telecommunications
Services (ALTS) and Focal Communications Corp., One Call
Communications, Inc., Pathfinder Communications, Inc., and the Texas
Office of Public Utility Counsel. The Commission addressed the petition
filed by One Call Communications, Inc. in a subsequent order, 68 FR
43327, July 22, 2003, and the Texas Office of Public Utility Counsel
withdrew its petition on July 27, 2000.
Since these petitions were filed, there has been a court of appeals
decision and additional Commission orders addressing the rules adopted
in the CALLS Order, including a decision by the United States Court of
Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, an order on remand, 68 FR 50077, August
20, 2003, and an order on reconsideration, 68 FR 43327, July 22, 2003.
