               NOTICE GRANTING AN EXTENSION OF TIME

                      (Issued June 23, 1999)


          On December 23, 1998, the Commission issued an order
adopting New York Telephone Company's d/b/a Bell Atlantic-New
York (BA-NY) intraLATA Plan with Modifications relating to
intrastate preferred carrier (PC) freezes.  Also on December 23,
1998, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued an order
adopting new rules with respect to PC freezes.  Certain portions
of the Commission's order may be inconsistent with the FCC's new
rules.  The Commission's order required that BA-NY implement its
new PC freeze administration plan within six months, or by
June 23, 1999.  On June 18, 1999, BA-NY sought a waiver from the
FCC so that it may implement promptly the PC freeze
administration plan consistent with the Commission's
requirements.
          The Commission also received three petitions for
reconsideration on its order from AT&T of New York, Inc., MCI-
WorldCom, and BA-NY.  Specifically, BA-NY's petition requests an
extension of time to implement its intraLATA freeze plan until
the FCC acts on its waiver request.
          Pursuant to 16 NYCRR Section 3.3(b)(1), the time for
BA-NY to comply with the Commission's December 23, 1998 order
will be extended by a period of 60 days so that it may receive a
response to its waiver request from the FCC.  This Notice does
not constitute a major modification in the Commission's order,
but is necessary for the fair, orderly, and efficient conduct of
the proceeding.  The remaining petitions for rehearing will be
addressed at a later date.
