Body Text "endnote reference"X1Í.X01ÍÍ ;+Av Xr4ԍ#C\  P6Q/P#Section 1.718 states, in part, that a formal complaint  {O# ' '   will be deemed to relate back to the filing date of [the original] informal complaint: Provided, That  J the formal complaint: (a) Is filed within 6 months from the date of the carrier's report, (b) makes  h reference to the date of the informal complaint, and (c) is based on the same cause of action as the   informal complaint. If no formal complaint is filed within the 6month period, the complainant will be deemed to have abandoned the unsatisfied informal complaints.     yO$'47 C.F.R.  1.718.#XP\  P6QXP#; For the reasons stated below, we grant the parties joint motion.

Thus, the parties request a waiver of section  x1.718(a) until the resolution of the Commissions remand proceeding. Furthermore, the parties  xrequest that the waiver be effective from August 9, 1999 to include formal complaints that should have been filed by that date.
