   Adopted:  January 8, 2002            Released:    January   9, 

2002

By the Chief, Market Disputes Resolution Division, Enforcement 
Bureau:

On January 12, 2001, pursuant to section 1.716 of the Commission 
rules,1 AT&T Corp. (``AT&T'') filed informal complaints against 
Advamtel, LLC d/b/a Plan B Communications (``Advamtel''), CFW 
Communications Company & CFW Networks, Inc. (``CFW''), 
Commonwealth Telephone Enterprises & CTSI, Inc. (``CTSI''), CT 
Communications, Inc. and CTC Exchange Services (``CTC 
Exchange''), Consolidated Communications Networks, Inc. 
(``Consolidated''), CTC Telcom, Inc. (CTC Telcom), Fairpoint 
Communications Corp. (``Fairpoint''), Intermedia Communications, 
Inc. (``Intermedia''), Net2000 Communications, Net2000 
Communications Services and Net2000 Communications of Virginia, 
LLC (``Net200''), North County Communications Corp. (``North 
County''), Winstar Communications, Inc., et al. (``Winstar''), 
and XIT Telecommunications & Technology, Inc. (``XIT'') 
(collectively ``Informal Complaint Defendants'').  Between March 
14, 2001 and March 19, 2001, each of the Informal Complaint 
Defendants filed a report pursuant to section 1.717 of the 
Commission's rules2 denying the allegations in AT&T's informal 
complaints.  Pursuant to section 1.718 of the Commission's 
rules,3 AT&T was required to convert these informal complaints 
into formal complaints between September 14, 2001 and September 
24, 2001 to ensure that the formal complaints related back to the 
January 12, 2001 filing date of the informal complaints.  On 
September 14, 2001, October 4, 2001, October 18, 2001, November 
2, 2001, November 15, 2001, November 30, 2001, and December 18, 
2001, the Market Disputes Resolution Division granted AT&T's 
consent motions for additional time to convert the informal 
complaints under rule 1.718, allowing AT&T until January 10, 2002 
to file the formal complaints against the Informal Complaint 
Defendants.4  

In light of the parties' continuing efforts to settle these 
matters, on January 4, 2002, AT&T filed a eighth Consent Motion 
To Extend Time In Which To Convert Informal Complaints To Formal 
Complaints and Toll Limitations Period.5  AT&T requests a waiver 
of section 1.718 of the Commission's rules and an additional 
extension of time until January 31, 2002 to convert the informal 
complaints against the Informal Complaint Defendants.  Each of 
the Informal Complaint Defendants have consented to AT&T's 
request.

We are satisfied that granting AT&T's motion will serve the 
public interest by promoting the private resolution of disputes 
and by postponing the need for further litigation and expenditure 
of further time and resources of the parties and of this 
Commission until such time as may actually be necessary.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to sections 4(i), 4(j), and 
208 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. §§ 
154(i), 154(j), and 208, and sections 1.3 and 1.718 of the 
Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 1.3, 1.718, and the authority 
delegated in sections 0.111 and 0.311 of the Commission's rules, 
47 C.F.R. §§ 0.111, 0.311, that the Consent Motion of AT&T Corp. 
to Extend Time in Which to Convert Informal Complaints to Formal 
Complaints and Toll Limitations Period IS GRANTED.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, unless otherwise extended by order, 
the deadlines that would otherwise apply under section 1.718 of 
our rules, 47 C.F.R. § 1.718, are hereby waived, and the dates on 
which AT&T must convert the informal complaints against the 
Informal Complaint Defendants into formal complaints pursuant to 
section 1.718 of our rules, 47 C.F.R. § 1.718, are extended to 
January 31, 2002.
