1999 Access Reform Docket: Notice of Dismissal of Petitions for 
Reconsideration and Clarification

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: This document is a notification of dismissal of petitions for 
reconsideration and clarification in the 1999 Access Charge Reform 
Docket. The Commission on March 16, 2004, issued a public notice of 
dismissal of petitions for reconsideration and clarification in this 
docket. The parties that previously filed these petitions did not 
respond to the Commission's requests to refresh the record in these 
proceedings and expressed no intent to pursue their petitions. As a 
result, any interested parties are hereby notified that these petitions 
have been dismissed.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Marv Sacks, Wireline Competition 
Bureau, Pricing Policy Division, (202) 418-1520.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 8, 2004, the Wireline Competition 
Bureau issued a public notice requesting parties that had filed 
petitions for reconsideration and clarification in the 1999 Access 
Charge Reform Docket to file a supplemental notice indicating those 
issues that the parties still wish to be reconsidered or clarified. The 
notice was published in the Federal Register on January 21, 2004, and 
comments were due February 20, 2004. See 69 FR 2862, January 21, 2004. 
The notice was issued because the petitions for reconsideration and 
clarification were filed several years ago, and the passage of time and 
various intervening developments, including additional Commission 
orders and proceedings regarding pricing flexibility and the pricing of 
special access services, may have rendered the records developed in 
response to those petitions stale. The public notice further stated 
that the Commission would deem such petitions withdrawn and would 
dismiss them unless parties indicated an intent to pursue their 
respective petitions for reconsideration no later than 30 days after 
publication of the public notice in the Federal Register. The Bureau 
did not receive any filings that responded to the notice within this 
time frame from parties that had previously filed petitions for 
reconsideration and clarification. As a result, the Commission on March 
16, 2004, issued a public notice of dismissal of petitions for 
reconsideration and clarification in this docket.

Federal Communications Commission.

 Deputy Chief, Pricing Policy Division, Wireline Competition Bureau.
