   Adopted:  December 22, 1998          Released:  December 22, 1998

By the Chief, Competitive Pricing Division, Common Carrier Bureau:

     1.  On December 11, 1998, NYNEX Telephone Companies (NYNEX) filed Transmittal No. 532 to
revise its Tariff F.C.C. No. 1.  Transmittal No. 532, currently scheduled to become effective December 26,
1998, proposes, among other things, to introduce additional rates and regulations under Expanded
Interconnection to expand the offering of virtual collocation to include the states of Maine, Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont.  No petitions have been filed against this transmittal.

     2.   Transmittal No. 532 raises the same issues as those raised by NYNEX's Transmittal Nos. 494 and
497 which are currently suspended and subject to investigation.  Therefore, Transmittal No. 532 is suspended
for one day and will be subject to investigation.  Any rates proposed in this transmittal will be subject to an
accounting order to facilitate any refunds that may later prove necessary.

     3.  Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 204(a) of the Communications Act of
1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  204(a), and authority delegated under Sections 0.91 and 0.291 of the
Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.91 and 0.291, the revisions to NYNEX's Tariff F.C.C. No. 1, filed under
Transmittal No. 532, ARE SUSPENDED for one day from the effective date and will be subject to the same
investigation as Transmittal Nos. 494 and 497. 

     4.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that NYNEX SHALL FILE tariff revisions within five business days
of the release date of this Order to reflect this suspension.

     5.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 204(a) of the Communications Act of 1934,
as amended, 47 U.S.C.  204(a), NYNEX shall keep accurate account of all earnings, costs, and returns
associated with the rates that are the subject of this investigation, and of all amounts paid thereunder and by
whom such amounts are paid.   


     6.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, for the above purposes, we waive Sections 61.56, 61.58, and
61.59 of the Commission 's Rules, 47 C.F.R.  61.56, 61.58, and 61.59.  NYNEX should cite the "DA"
number of the instant Order as the authority for this filing.
