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 VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:08 Mar 20, 2007 Jkt 211001 regulatory commissions, and the North American Numbering Plan Administrator (NANPA) to monitor numbering resource utilization by all carriers using the resource and to project the dates of area code and North American Numbering Plan (NANP) exhaust.

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. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Victoria Goldberg, Wireline Competition Bureau, Pricing Policy Division, (202) 418–1530, jennifer.mckee@fcc.gov. 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 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 13283 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 E:\FR\FM\21MRN1.SGM 21MRN1 jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES 13284 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 54 / Wednesday, March 21, 2007 / Notices rulemaking number referenced in the caption.

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 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

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)
