for the filing of cost submissions by price cap local exchange carriers 
and comments and reply comments on the filings in the subscriber line 
charge (SLC) cost review proceeding.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jennifer McKee, Common Carrier Bureau,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    By Public Notice dated September 17, 2001, we initiated a cost 
review proceeding to determine the appropriate residential and single-
line business subscriber line charge (SLC) caps for price cap local 
exchange carriers (LECs). On October 3, 2001, several price cap LECs 
filed a petition requesting an extension of 30 days for the filing of 
their cost submissions. The price cap LECs request additional time due 
to the size and complexity of the task of compiling cost submission 
information. We agree that a limited extension is warranted. Price cap 
LECs must now file their cost submissions no later than November 16, 
2001. We also extend the dates for filing comments and reply comments 
on the cost submissions. Comments will be due no later than December 
17, 2001, and reply comments are due no later than January 9, 2002. 
When filing cost information and comments, parties should reference CC 
Docket Nos. 96-262 and 94-1.
    This proceeding shall be treated as a ``permit-but-disclose'' 
proceeding in accordance with the Commission's ex parte rules. See 47 
CFR 1.1200 and 1.1206. Persons making oral ex parte presentations are 
reminded that memoranda summarizing the presentations must contain 
summaries of the substance of the presentations and not merely a 
listing of the subjects discussed. More than a one or two sentence 
description of the views and arguments presented is generally required. 
See 47 CFR 1.1206(b). Other rules pertaining to oral and written ex 
parte presentations in permit-but-disclose proceedings are set forth in 
section 1.1206(b) of the Commission's rules, 47 CFR 1.1206(b).
    An original and four copies of all cost information comments and 
reply comments must be filed with the Office of the Secretary, Federal 
Communications Commission, 445 12th Street, SW., Room TW-A225, 
Washington, DC 20554. In addition, one copy of each submissions must be 
filed with Qualex International, the Commission's duplicating 
contractor, at its office at Portals II, 445 12th Street, SW., Room CY-
B402, Washington, DC 20554, and one copy with the Chief, Competitive 
Pricing Division, 445 12th Street, SW., Room 5-A225, Washington, DC 
20554.
