FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
[CC Docket 95-116; DA 98-1265]
Telephone Number Portability
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Notice; approval of provisioning method and extension of
deadlines.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that In the Matter of Telephone Number
Portability, Common Carrier Docket No. 95-116, DA 98-1265, released
June 26, 1998, Cincinnati Bell Telephone's (CBT's) provision of Local
Number Portability (LNP) in the Cincinnati Metropolitan Statistical
Area (MSA) by choosing only the Midwest Number Portability
Administration Center is approved. This action is needed so CBT can
efficiently implement LNP in the Cincinnati MSA. The intended effect of
this action is to reduce LNP implementation costs and complexity for
CBT and other carriers in the Cincinnati MSA. Notice is also given that
several carriers' requests for delays in the implementation of Phase
III and Phase IV LNP are granted. In addition, the Commission grants
AT&T Corp.'s and Time Warner Communications Holdings, Inc.'s related
petitions to waive the requirements that carriers file petitions to
extend the time to file an LNP implementation extension request 60 days
prior to the deadline for which an extension is sought. These actions
are needed because carriers seek more time to implement LNP due to
circumstances beyond their control. The intended effect of these grants
is to allow carriers more time to implement LNP without threatening
network reliability.
A copy of the order is available for public inspection at the
Commission's Common Carrier Bureau, Network Services Division, Room
235, 2000 M Street, N.W., Washington, D.C., Monday through Thursday,
8:30 AM to 3:00 PM (closed 12:30 to 1:30 PM) and the FCC Reference
Center, Room 239, 1919 M Street, N.W., Washington, D.C., daily, from
9:00 AM to 4:30 PM.
