S/ - PETITION FOR PREEMPTION PURSUANT TO SECTION 253 ă  S - CC DOCKET NO. 984 ă ` `  hh,VppReleased: January 28, 1998  On January 21, 1998, General Communications, Inc. (GCI) filed a petition for   preemption pursuant to section 253 of the Communications Act. GCI asks the   Commission to preempt enforcement of section 52.355 of Title 3 of the Alaska   Administrative Code to the extent that section 52.355 prohibits nonincumbent   carriers from constructing and operating facilities to provide intrastate interexchange services in certain locations in the State of Alaska.  GCI states that section 52.355, on its face, singles out nonincumbent carriers   and bars them from facilitiesbased long distance service in large areas of Alaska.   [According to GCI, AT&T Alascom is permitted  <$ B to  <$ B construct and operate facilities   immediately, while potential competitors cannot do so unless and until the Alaska   Public Utilities Commission "redesignates" an area as suitable for long distance   Lcompetition. GCI argues that section 52.355 conflicts with the terms of section   253(a) of the Communications Act because it is an absolute prohibition on the   competitive, facilitiesbased entry of nonincumbent intrastate long distance providers.   GCI further argues that section 52.355 does not fall within the protected class of state   regulation described in section 253(b) of the Act in that it is not "competitively   neutral" or "necessary" to achieve the public interest goals stated in section 253(b).
