Released June 20, 1996.
1. On June 17, 1996, the FCC's Industry Analysis Division, Common
Carrier Bureau, and the Competition Division, Office of General
Counsel, released a staff model of the telecommunications industry
which allows model users to calculate a variety of outputs from nearly
200 specifications (News Release, ``FCC Staff Releases Working Copy of
an Industry Demand & Supply Simulation Model,'' released June 17,
1996.) The model allows the user to specify growth rates, pricing
trends, demand elasticities and cost relationships to simulate effects
in traditional industry segments. The
[[Page 32767]]
model, using publicly-available, industry-wide information, allows the
user to simulate the relative impact of particular changes in the
industry.
2. A copy of the model has been placed in the public file in CC
Docket No. 96-98, Implementation of the Local Competition Provisions in
the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Parties who wish to use the model,
create variations of the model, or file models of their own, in that
proceeding are requested to file Comments no later than Monday, July 1,
1996. There will be no Reply Comment filing opportunity. Commenters
should file an original and four copies with the Office of the
Secretary, two copies with Ms. Wanda Harris, Room 518, Competitive
Pricing Division, Common Carrier Bureau, one copy with the Chief,
