RE: December 16, 2002 Request for Extension of Time
Dear Mr. Rosenblum:
The Enforcement Bureau (``Bureau'') is in receipt of AT&T's
December 16, 2002 motion requesting a 30-day extension of time
for filing comments to the SBC section 272(d) audit report.1
Comments on the audit report are due on December 30, 2002. AT&T
requests an extension of time due to an outstanding request for
the General Standards and Procedures used in the audit and the
fact that the date for comments follows a holiday and many
employees will not be available to assist in preparing the
comments.
We hereby grant AT&T's request for extension of time. The
Commission's policy is that extensions of time are not routinely
granted.2 We find, however, that AT&T has shown good cause for
an extension of the deadline for filing comments. AT&T observes
that the comments are due shortly after the Christmas holiday and
that many personnel with expertise necessary to address the
issues will be unavailable the week before the comments are due.
We find that a thirty-day extension of time for the filing of
comments would allow the commenting parties to develop a better
record for the Bureau's decision without prejudicing the
interests of any parties. Accordingly, we grant a limited
extension of time so that all interested parties may file
comments on January 29, 2003.
If you have any questions, please contact Hugh L. Boyle at
(202) 418-7147 or Mika Savir at (202) 418-0384.
Sincerely,
Maureen F. Del Duca
Deputy Chief
Investigations and Hearings
Division
Enforcement Bureau
