In accordance with U S WEST's request, the  xRCommission will treat this filing as a formal petition for forbearance under section 10 of the  x Communications Act of 1934, as amended (Act). In its petition, U S WEST requests that, if  xNthe Commission finds that National Directory Assistance (NDA) service is subject to the  xrequirements of sections 271 and 272 of the Act, the Commission forbear from applying those  xrequirements. U S WEST contends that NDA service qualifies as an incidental interLATA  xservice under section 271(g)(4) of the Act. Although section 272 requires such services to be  xprovided through a separate affiliate, U S WEST maintains that the Commission should permit  xit to provide NDA service on an integrated basis. U S WEST submits that its provision of NDA service is in the public interest and satisfies other requirements of section 10 of the Act.    " Y2  N"Interested parties are to file an original and six copies of their comments on U S WEST's  Y2 x,Petition no later than April 9, 1998, with the Secretary, FCC, 1919 M Street, N.W.,  Yy2 xBWashington, D.C. 20554.
