    In the First Report and Order issued under CC Docket No. 99-273 in 
2001, the Commission adopted several of its tentative proposals. The 
Commission concluded that the local exchange carriers (LECs) must 
provide competing directory assistance (DA) providers that qualify 
under section 251 with nondiscriminatory access to the LEC's local 
directory assistance databases, and must do so at nondiscriminatory and 
reasonable rates. The Commission determined that LECs are not required 
to grant competing DA providers nondiscriminatory access to non-local 
director assistance databases. All of the requirements are implemented 
under sections 251 and/or 222 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996.

    Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
