FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

[CC Docket 95-116; DA 98-1265]


Telephone Number Portability

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice; approval of provisioning method and extension of 
deadlines.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that In the Matter of Telephone Number 
Portability, Common Carrier Docket No. 95-116, DA 98-1265, released 
June 26, 1998, Cincinnati Bell Telephone's (CBT's) provision of Local 
Number Portability (LNP) in the Cincinnati Metropolitan Statistical 
Area (MSA) by choosing only the Midwest Number Portability 
Administration Center is approved. This action is needed so CBT can 
efficiently implement LNP in the Cincinnati MSA. The intended effect of 
this action is to reduce LNP implementation costs and complexity for 
CBT and other carriers in the Cincinnati MSA. Notice is also given that 
several carriers' requests for delays in the implementation of Phase 
III and Phase IV LNP are granted. In addition, the Commission grants 
AT&T Corp.'s and Time Warner Communications Holdings, Inc.'s related 
petitions to waive the requirements that carriers file petitions to 
extend the time to file an LNP implementation extension request 60 days 
prior to the deadline for which an extension is sought. These actions 
are needed because carriers seek more time to implement LNP due to 
circumstances beyond their control. The intended effect of these grants 
is to allow carriers more time to implement LNP without threatening 
network reliability.
    A copy of the order is available for public inspection at the 
Commission's Common Carrier Bureau, Network Services Division, Room 
235, 2000 M Street, N.W., Washington, D.C., Monday through Thursday, 
8:30 AM to 3:00 PM (closed 12:30 to 1:30 PM) and the FCC Reference 
Center, Room 239, 1919 M Street, N.W., Washington, D.C., daily, from 
9:00 AM to 4:30 PM.
