Vz yO - xԍ The Commission can waive its rules, including provisions on timely filing of petitions against tariffs, if good  {O!-cause is shown. See 47 C.F.R.  1.3. AT&T has failed to adequately  z$3K demonstrate z$3K  why it could not file in a more timely fashion. In light of the foreshortened comment periods required under the tariff streamlining provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, it is important for parties to file timely petitions in order for the Commission to consider effectively all relevant issues. Accordingly, we deny AT&T's  z$3K motion z$3K  to accept its latefiled petition.  S-c III. EX PARTE REQUIREMENTS T TPx6.
