In this Memorandum Opinion and Order, we suspend for one day and set for investigation the tariff filed by U S WEST Communications, Inc., (U S WEST) seeking to establish rates, terms, and conditions for the longterm number portability query service and enduser charges. U S WEST filed its tariff transmittal on January 26, 1999 with an effective date of February 10, 1999. On February 2, 1999, AT&T filed a petition to reject or  X-suspend.} yOQ-#C\  P6QɒP#э AT&T Petition to Reject or Suspend Tariff filed Jan. 29, 1999.

BACKGROUND ă   Xe- x2. On May 12, 1998, the Commission issued the Third Report and Order, e} {O- x;#C\  P6QɒP#э In the Matter of Telephone Number Portability, Third Report and Order, 13 FCC Rcd 11701, 11723 at para.  {O -35 (1998) (Third Report and Order).   XP-implementing section 251(e)(2) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,ZPD} {OE#- xK#C\  P6QɒP#э 47 U.S.C.  251(e)(2); see Telecommunications Act of 1996,  101(a),  251(e)(2), Pub. L. No. 104104,  yO$- xh110 Stat. 56 (1996) . Section 251(e)(2) of the Act provides that the costs of providing number portability "shall be  yO$-borne by all telecommunications carriers on a competitively neutral basis as determined by the Commission."  and  X9-promulgated rules governing longterm number portability cost recovery. The Commission  X"-determined in the Third Report and Order that incumbent LECs may recover their carrier""f 0*''z"ԫspecific costs directly related to providing longterm number portability in two federal charges: (1) a monthly number portability charge to commence no earlier than February 1,  X-1999, that applies to endusers; {OK-#C\  P6QɒP#э Third Report and Order, 13 FCC Rcd at 11776, para. 142; see also 47 C.F.R.  52.33(a), (a)(1). and (2) a number portability query service charge that applies  X-to carriers on whose behalf the incumbent LEC performs queries.Z {O-#C\  P6QɒP#э Third Report and Order, 13 FCC Rcd at 11778, para. 147;  see also 47 C.F.R.  52.33(a), (a)(2). The Commission delegated authority to the Common Carrier Bureau (Bureau) to determine appropriate methods for apportioning joint costs among portability and nonportability services and to issue any orders  Xv-to provide guidance to carriers before they file their federal tariffs.v {O -#C\  P6QɒP#э Third Report and Order, 13 FCC Rcd at 11740, para. 75.  XH-x3. On December 14, 1998, the Bureau issued the Cost Classification Order, addressing the general standards by which incumbent LECs should identify the carrierspecific costs directly related to providing longterm number portability and discussing the  X -methodologies for measuring the eligible number portability costs.L ~ yO4- x#C\  P6QɒP#э In the Matter of Telephone Number Portability, Cost Classification Proceeding, CC Docket No. 95116,  {O-Memorandum Opinion and Order, DA 982534 (Com. Car. Bur., rel. Dec. 14, 1998) (Cost Classification Order).L The Bureau also provided guidance to the incumbent LECs on the allocation of the eligible costs among the number portability enduser, prearranged query, default query, and database query charges. Finally, the Bureau discussed the specific cost support the incumbent LECs must provide with their tariff filings.  X{- III. DISCUSSIONpp  XM-x4. We find that U S WEST's longterm number portability tariff raises substantial  X6-questions of lawfulness and warrants an investigation of this tariff.g 6 yO-#C\  P6QɒP#э 47 U.S.C.  204(a).g These questions include,  X-but are not limited to, the following: whether U S WEST's method of identifying eligible Operations Support Systems (OSS) costs is unreasonable; whether U S WEST's calculation of  X-its overhead factors is unreasonable; whether U S WEST's overall level of costs for longterm number portability is unreasonable; and whether U S WEST's method for calculating its service delivery costs is unreasonable. Moreover, we find that AT&T's petition to suspend and investigate U S WEST's longterm number portability tariff raises questions of lawfulness, similar to those we identified, and further supports an investigation of this tariff. x  Xg-x5. The rate proposals and the issues raised in U S WEST's tariff filing for longterm number portability are novel and complex. This is the first time U S WEST has filed a tariff and supporting documentation for both query services and an end user charge. We are therefore unable at this time to limit our investigation to discrete rates or provisions of U S WEST's number portability filing. We will, accordingly, suspend U S WEST's tariff" h 0*((" filing for one day and initiate an investigation into the lawfulness of the proposed tariff. The specific issues that will be the subject of the investigation will be identified in an upcoming designation order and may include, but may not be limited to, the issues identified in this Order. We may also, by order, identify discrete issues that do not warrant further investigation.  X_<  IV. EX PARTE REQUIREMENTS ă x6.
