(GTL) in Federal Communications Commission (FCC) WC Docket No. 12-375.

DATES: Oppositions to the Petition must be filed on or before January 
11, 2021. Replies to an opposition must be filed on or before January 
20, 2021.

ADDRESSES: Federal Communications Commission, 45 L Street NE,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a summary of the FCC's Public 
Notice, DA 20-1446, released December 3, 2020. The full text of the 
FCC's Public Notice is available at: (https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DA-20-1446A1.pdf). The full text of GTL's Petition for 
Reconsideration is available at: https://ecfsapi.fcc.gov/file/1123843514310/GTL%20Petition%20for%20Reconsideration%20(11-23-20).pdf.
    GTL requests reconsideration of a single sentence from the 2020 ICS 
Report and Order on Remand stating that ``the jurisdictional nature of 
a call depends on the physical location of the endpoints of the call 
and not on whether the area code or NXX prefix of the telephone number 
associated with the account, are associated with a particular state.'' 
\1\ In order to avoid a potential overlap between a previously-
announced reply comment date in this docket, 85 FR 67480, and the due 
date for oppositions to GTL's Petition; to provide more certainty with 
regard to the commencement of the pleading cycle for this Petition; and 
in the interest of allowing all stakeholders the opportunity to fully 
and meaningfully respond to the Petition, the Bureau finds good cause 
pursuant to 47 CFR 1.3 to waive, on its own motion, if necessary, the 
deadline for oppositions as set forth in 47 CFR 1.429(f) to permit a 
longer pleading cycle should Federal Register publication of a notice 
of the filing of the Petition occur on or before December 24, 2020. 
Should Federal Register Publication of the notice of the Petition occur 
after Thursday, December 24, 2020, the Bureau will extend the deadline 
for oppositions and replies to provide a full 15/10 day opposition 
period, respectively, as required under the Commission's rules.
