WASHINGTON, D.C. 20554 DA 98-720 News media information 202/418-0500 Fax-On-Demand 202/418-2830 Internet: http://www.fcc.gov ftp.fcc.gov Released: April 14, 1998 Filings for Rulemaking No. 9244 On March 12, 1998, the Competitive Pricing Division of the Common Carrier Bureau issued a Public Notice for Rulemaking No. 9244 (DA 98-496). This public notice was titled "Alliance for Public Technology Petitions the Commission for Issuance of a Notice of Inquiry and a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to Implement Section 706 of the Telecommunications Act (RM No. 9244)." Comments in response to the Alliance for Public Technology Petition were required to be filed no later than April 13, 1998, and Replies must be filed no later than May 4, 1998. In the notice, a reference was made to the Competitive Pricing Division's internal file number, CCB/CPD 98-15. There has apparently been some confusion as to whether comments and replies should be filed under this number. We note that the Competitive Pricing Division's internal file number is not a docket number, and that all filings should be submitted under Rulemaking No. 9244. - FCC -
