SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: After the Commission released the CALLS Order on May 31, 2000, 65 FR 38684, June 21, 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 PO 00000 Frm 00046 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 42087 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. 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. Issues raised in the pending petitions for reconsideration may therefore have become moot or outdated. As a result, it was not clear whether issues arising out of the CALLS Order, if any, remained in dispute. On March 5, 2007, the Wireline Competition Bureau (the Bureau) released a public notice inviting interested parties to update the record pertaining to petitions for reconsideration filed with respect to the rules the Commission adopted in the CALLS Order, 72 FR 13283, March 21, 2007. Specifically, the Bureau requested that parties that filed petitions for reconsideration of the CALLS Order file a supplemental notice indicating those issues that they still wish to be reconsidered. On April 5, 2007, COMPTEL and Broadwing Communications, LLC, the successors to ALTS and Focal respectively, withdrew their petition for reconsideration. Thus, the only remaining petition for reconsideration is that filed by Pathfinder. No other notices were received in response to the request to update the record pertaining to petitions for reconsideration. Due to the passage of time, the fact that the CALLS Order has reached the end of its term and the Commission is considering comprehensive reform of the access charge regime, and the fact that no other notices to pursue the petition were received, the Commission hereby dismisses the remaining petition as moot.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: After the Commission released the CALLS 
Order on May 31, 2000, 65 FR 38684, June 21, 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. 
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. 
Issues raised in the pending petitions for reconsideration may 
therefore have become moot or outdated. As a result, it was not clear 
whether issues arising out of the CALLS Order, if any, remained in 
dispute.
    On March 5, 2007, the Wireline Competition Bureau (the Bureau) 
released a public notice inviting interested parties to update the 
record pertaining to petitions for reconsideration filed with respect 
to the rules the Commission adopted in the CALLS Order, 72 FR 13283, 
March 21, 2007. Specifically, the Bureau requested that parties that 
filed petitions for reconsideration of the CALLS Order file a 
supplemental notice indicating those issues that they still wish to be 
reconsidered. On April 5, 2007, COMPTEL and Broadwing Communications, 
LLC, the successors to ALTS and Focal respectively, withdrew their 
petition for reconsideration. Thus, the only remaining petition for 
reconsideration is that filed by Pathfinder. No other notices were 
received in response to the request to update the record pertaining to 
petitions for reconsideration. Due to the passage of time, the fact 
that the CALLS Order has reached the end of its term and the Commission 
is considering comprehensive reform of the access charge regime, and 
the fact that no other notices to pursue the petition were received, 
the Commission hereby dismisses the remaining petition as moot.
