NOTICES

PENNSYLVANIA PUBLIC
UTILITY COMMISSION

Notice of a Petition Filed Requesting the Assignment of Numbers From the 412 Area Code Outside the Rationing Process; Doc. Nos. M-00001427F0002 and P-00961027F0002

[31 Pa.B. 4506]

   On July 24, 2001, Cricket Communications, Inc., filed a petition with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (Commission) requesting that the Commission direct the North American Numbering Administrator to release to it three NXX codes. NXX codes in the 412 NPA have been rationed at a rate of six codes per month since November of 1999. Per Commission order entered on December 27, 2000, at the previously captioned docket numbers, rationing in the 412 NPA will continue at the rate of six NXX codes per month until February 17, 2002. The Federal Communication Commission delegated the Commission the authority to hear and address carriers' claims that they need numbering resources outside the rationing process. In the Matter of Petition for Declaratory Ruling and Request for Expedited Action on July 15, 1997 Order of the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission Regarding Area Codes 412, 610, 215, 717; Implementation of the Local Competition Provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, Memorandum Opinion and Order and Order on Reconsideration, CC Docket No. 96-98, 13 FCC Rcd 190029 (1998).

   In its petition, Cricket Communications, Inc. states that it needs this relief because it would be unable to meet customers' needs in the 412 area code if restricted to receiving NXX codes through the current system, and is in dire need of numbering resources.

   Interested parties may file comments concerning the petition with the Secretary, Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, P. O. Box 3265, Harrisburg, PA 17105-3265. Comments are due on or before 10 days after the date of publication of this notice.

   The contact person is Deanne O'Dell, Assistant Counsel, Law Bureau at (717) 787-7580.
